Friday was a rest day for me! I enjoyed eating Caribbean food.

Went to Walmart to pick up groceries.

Bought stamps at the Post Office.

I liked the Batman and the Circus stamps.


Enjoyed watching TV with K. Went to sleep early.

Saturday I intended to lead seventy people from One Heart Church on mission. The weather was supposed to be bad, so we will reschedule that. It only rained 1/2″.

I cleaned my rain gauge!

Spent the day with Kathy–it’s her birthday!

I installed some seat covers in my car.

Put my new weed wacker together.

Jesse joined us for lunch AND supper! Woot!

K turned double nickles.

K and I watched God’s Not Dead movie tonight. We liked it.

I got some new luggage, but it was the wrong size. I’ll send it back to Amazon. Got the right ones coming. FREE shipping back! I love Amazon Prime!

Admin duties now.

Peachtree Corners Baptist Church tomorrow morning. I’ll be speaking at one of the main Sunday School classes.

Zoning changes. I’ll be at the meeting to stand against it. They want to add another 120 homes in that area after draining the wetlands. Not zesty.

I liked this mortar.

Enjoyed blowing bubbles.

One of my favorite little cactus bloomed.

This morning I went to a meeting with my partners at Perimeter Church.

It was interesting to hear how other groups raise funds or find more volunteers.

Enjoyed looking around Barnes and Noble for a bit.

Vinyl!?

Then went to Chamblee to look around an antique store I like.

Always something interesting to see!

I found three things.

I collect Ben Franklin things.

I like binoculars. These were made in Japan in the 50s.

And I’m partial to skulls. I thought the decorations on this one were amazing. It’s ten years old.

Came home and worked on my book Power Prayer.

I went through the first draft and corrected all the mistakes I could find. I printed up a hard copy for Kathy to look at.

The next step is to record the book and produce the four prayer sessions.

I’m thinking about putting the entire book on a USB drive. The drive will also have the audio version.

Ate supper with Jesse and Kathy. Always good.

Watched The Good Lie with Kathy. Interesting film about the Lost Boys of Sudan.

Admin duties now.

I liked these flowers.

Fired up my new mower Wednesday morning!

Grass was pretty high.

Still kind of damp from all the rain. Mulching the leaves was especially hard. Looks better!

Went shopping at Walmart for groceries. And picked up K’s meds from Kroger.

They’re still working on the remodel.

Checked on the kids at the mission. No homework.

Had supper with Jesse!

I saw this on the way home. Wow.

Big news is that the new QT is open. I asked them when they were officially opening—when does “tomorrow” start?

Midnight?

They told me the “soft” opening was at 10pm. I decided to be the first customer.

Ended up staying till after 11:30 talking to all the contractors who had build “my” new QT. I met the manager and assistant managers. Even though there computers were not working, they invited me in for a free drink. So achieved my first customer status!

First cup of coffee! Won’t be the last. Not be a long shot.

I’ve been taking pictures of the entire building process. I’ll work on getting those all into one gallery soon. Final shots!


Beauty! My favorite “bricks and mortar” store!

This cat stalks my bird feeders. Hate that.

I see you.

Why not?

I finished the first draft of my new book “Power Prayer.” I’m going through it now to check for typos and polish.

Met up with Ashley for lunch. She’ll be going to N. Georgia rest of this week on a mission conference. She’s won’t be back till Sunday. That’s a long gig.

K helped me get the supplies for the outreach this weekend with One Heart Church!

Did some shopping at Walmart and Lowes for equipment we needed.

Then on to the mission to work with the kids.

Only the youngest had homework. The rest are taking the Milestone test. It’s what’s replace the CRCT.

Back home to watch Castle and Supernanny with K.

Admin duties now.

I liked this sticker.

Over 2 1/2″ of rain over the weekend!

Went for a 5.04 mile run this morning. Always something beautiful to see.

Quick sandwich, then off to meet up with Ashley.

We have a large Outreach Event with 70 people in 7 locations. Ashley and I went by the seven complexes to confirm with the managers.

Worked with the kids. Jose has new glasses.

Enjoyed blowing bubbles this evening.

Admin duties now.

Powerful clouds.

In case you didn’t know.

Interesting.

My Venus Fly Traps seem to be doing well after the winter.

This is the first time I’ve ever let them stay outside during the cold weather. And I’ve been keeping fly traps for over 50 years.

This morning Kathy and I went to Westside Baptist Church. Always good!

Ashley and I met up with a team from Greater Atlanta Christian School, and a couple from Cross Pointe Church. We gave them a brief briefing!

We went on a cultural safari to the Buford Highway Farmers Market, then to Azalea to work with the kids.

Home now to rest and work on admin duties.

Saturday it finally stopped raining long enough for me to get a 5.04 mile run in. Beautiful outside.

Ate lunch with Kathy. Always good.

J came over for a visit. Love spending time with him!

Came home for a short rest, then met up with Ashley and Miles. We went to see Dweezil Zappa play compositions from his father’s discography. They played the entire album of One Size Fits All plus another hour and a half of Zappa tunes. Fun!

Got home around 11:30pm and went straight to sleep.

It’s nice to have a rainy day.

I’m getting some good rest!

Did the shopping at Walmart. They’re renovating and changing the flooring.

Went by Goodwill to check on tshirts. I found a few that were cool. I’m giving them as gifts. Nothing for me today.

I got my new tape deck from Amazon today. It’s a really nice one! My friend and I have been making cassette tapes to each other for 35 years. Yow! It’s hard to find these tape decks now.

I read on line that cassettes are making a comeback. Maybe it’ll be easier to find them then!

Cleaned out my fish tank.

It’s still stirred up in this picture. Looks perfect now.

Enjoyed playing some video games. Haven’t done that in weeks.

Lunch with K. Always good.

We’re watching Tracks now. It’s a show about a lady crossing the Australian desert by herself.

Admin duties now.

This morning I worked on the grant application for First Baptist Church of Atlanta.

Also worked on my new book, “Power Prayer.”

Ate lunch with Ashley and Jesse! Ashley had her first picture of her BABY! WOOT!
She’s eight weeks along. Due in late November.

Came home and enjoyed time talking with Jesse.

Then off to the mission to work with the kids.

Jesse showed them his new Amazon “Echo.” It’s a computer that answers you. The kids were enthralled.

J and I ate supper. Always enjoy time with him.

Rainy weather. Played with bubbles when I got home.

Came home to watch the end of “Gods and Kings.” It’s the movie about Moses and the Exodus with Kathy.

While I was at Tybee Island with Kathy, I started a new memory verse project, Psalms 77:10-20.

“Then I thought, I will appeal to the years of the right hand of the most High. I will remember the deeds of the Lord. Yes, I will remember your miracles of old. I will meditate on all your deeds, and consider all your mighty works. Your ways, O God are holy. What God is so great as our God? You are the God who performs miracles. You display your power among the peoples. Your mighty arm redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. The ocean saw you oh, God. The ocean saw you and writhed. The very depths were convulsed. The clouds poured down water. The skies resounded with your thunder. Your arrows flashed back and forth. Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind. Your lightning lit up the world. The Earth trembled and shook. Your path led through the sea. Your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen. You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.”

Beautiful and powerful!

We serve a miracle working God! Amen!

Admin duties now.

Fun morning! Worked on a new podcast! Woot!

I really like this episode called “Amplifier!” How happy are you? Ready to amp up that happiness level? Then click on the title and groove!

I’ve been recording in Lil’ Red aka my “mobile studio.” Came home to work on my new book, “Power Prayer.” Making good progress. I’m down to the last couple of sections.

Enjoyed eating lunch with Kathy.

After lunch, worked on my book for another hour.

Then down to Doraville to meet up with Ashley. We went by the recreation center to talk to Mr. Robertson. He wasn’t there, but we did get to meet his assistant, Cynthia. I wanted to let her see the shower arrangement.

To the mission to work with the kids!



I spent my first thirty minutes dealing with Comcast. We had a mix up with the bill that I had to take care of. All squared away now!

Cleaned up the mission before leaving. Jesse was having a few friends over. I wanted the place to look presentable to grown ups.

Came home to spend time with Kathy.

Admin duties now.

I liked these little mushrooms.

Stopped into my new QT to see the progress. Getting close!
