Got back early Tuesday morning from my safari to Texas! Worked at the mission Tuesday. GREAT to see the kids.

Fantastic to be back with my girls!

I had a great time in Texas with my family!

Had fun with the Noble NoZe Brotherhood.

The President of Baylor, Ken Starr, is a fan of our fraternity.

Poured down rain while I was in Waco. Over 9.5 inches in 24 hours! Streets were flooding.

This is from the Mayborn Museum which houses an exhibition on the mammoths found in Waco. The most important area of the museum has this.

I met with supporters of Whirlwind Missions while I was in Georgetown. Also set up a team of youth and seniors to come to Atlanta to work with us this summer. Fun with Brad and Gary.

I enjoyed walking around the main square in Georgetown, TX–called the most beautiful square in Texas. I’d agree.

I enjoy looking for antiques.



I thought this was wonderful.

I got these framed pages from a biological atlas from the 50s.

I saw the original movie Young Frankenstein here in the early 70s.


I went back to my high school. When I was there they didn’t have air conditioning.

It’s a historic landmark now.

The only thing that looked the same on the inside from when I was there was the auditorium.

Always sad to say goodbye to my parents!

I got up at 4:30am to make my 7am flight from Austin to Atlanta. Great to be back in the ATL!

A thing of beauty. Strawberry Shortcake from Matthews in Tucker, GA.

Just in case you forgot.

From the Mayborn Museum at Baylor in Waco, TX.

Beauty.

Lots of deer in the yards in Texas.

GREAT day!

Started with one of my favorite things: Podcast!

I really like this episode called “Polyform!”

Just click on the title and GROOVE!

Went to the Post Office to check on mailing something to my friend in Peru.

I’m sending him a hummingbird feeder and some seeds to grow flowers that hummingbirds like. I had to rethink the packaging. Priority mail is super expensive. And my package is about as low on the priority levels as one can go.

Spent time packing for my short safari to Texas. Going to visit with supporters, see my parents and go to Baylor.

Joined Ashley to help the kids with their homework. Always great to watch her work with the kids.

We had some volunteers come to help today.

Shot over to the Cobb Galleria to see John Cleese and Eric Idle in person!

I’m a huge Monty Python fan, so tonight was liking seeing Led Zepplin.

They did some funny bits.

I liked the songs. I saw Spamalot when it was touring at the Fox. Seeing these two legends of comedy was amazing.


Came home to work on admin duties.

I enjoyed an article in Wired about this camera that shoots 360 degrees. GREAT for making movies in Virtual Reality.

I edited the video I shot this weekend for FBC Naples.

Processed the video, uploaded to YouTube and burned a disk for the team. After I send them the final email with links to the photos and video, I consider the team complete.

Produced my newsletter. Sent it to our friends at the Atlanta Metro Baptist Association to print.

Did a recording with a producer at the Georgia Baptist Convention. That piece will air in November.

Stopped by the Post Office to get stamps.

Also got a box to ship a parcel to a friend in Peru.

Did the grocery shopping. Got a new plant for my window.

The kids at the mission helped me with the labels for the newsletter.

Helped them with their homework.

I get them doughnuts as a treat on the day we do the labels.

Ate supper with Jesse. Always good.

Admin duties now.

First time I remember fast food places using video games as a promotion.

Ashley and I had a fun time briefing our team from Florida on Judaism, Christianity and how the relate to Islam.


We had our DDay–Dedication Day–service with the students. I go into Rabbi mode.

Ashley hands over the baton to the students who pass it along to each other while they say, “It’s up to ME!”

The students lay the card with the person they’ll pray for in front of the picture of Jesus.

They always enjoy signing the Lord’s “Landing Pad.”

Took them to lunch at Penang for Malasian food. Yum.

Went on safari to the Middle East at Al Madina, India to Global Mall and Asian Square to China!

The teams did a wonderful job at the missions!

Helped the kids with their homework.

Terrible traffic going home. Aaargh.

Met up with Jesse and Kathy for supper. That improved my mood!

Had fun talking with J late into the night about my adventures in Peru.

Up early Tuesday morning for an interview for a radio show with the Georgia Baptist Convention. Went GREAT!

Just finished editing the video I shot this weekend with the Florida team. Soon I’ll upload the video and burn a disk for the team.

Kathy just got home from work. I’ll enjoy spending time with her!

Kathy joined Ashley and I at Perimeter this morning.



We had our table for talking about ministry in our area.

We had some people sign up that were interested!

K and I enjoyed lunch together.

Came home to rest and work on admin duties.

Ashley and I had fun briefing our team from FBC Naples, FL!

We took them out to eat at Plaza Fiesta!

One of the girls got sick. Her parents flew up from Florida to come get her. Always scary when your child isn’t well.

Then over to the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

We had a great time with the kids at the mission.

K and I watched Achilles with Brad Pitt. Not some of his best work.

Admin duties now.

Thursday, I spent getting my car worked on.

I got new brakes and rotors for the front two wheels.

Trash day! More than twice recycle to regular trash.

Enjoyed working with the kids at the mission!

Kathy came to help me.

I had a fun supper with Ian, Ruthie and Jack North!

Also spent time with Kathy and Jesse at the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

Then home to watch TV with K.

Friday morning I’ve been resting my voice.

Had a good lunch with Kathy.

Watched two foreign movies with K. “Angel’s Share” from Scotland and “The Circle be Unbroken” in Flemish from Brussels, Belgium. They were both good.

Admin duties now.

I liked the colors in this stain.

Mushrooms are blooming.

My Gardenia bush had a flower this morning!

I watched them hang a pole this afternoon.

Fall is here!

Started off my day great with a new podcast!

I just listened to this episode called “Power FULL!”

Just click on the title and GROOVE!

Had a terrific lunch with Ashley and Jesse!

Ash and I went on a recon of four apartment complexes to set up for the Florida team coming this Saturday and Monday. Always fun to talk to the managers.

We had a good talk with Marjorie Otiti about working at the mission and her finances.

Went to the mission to work with the kids. We were early, so I tackled this tangle of Nintendo 64 controllers. Took a while.

We always have fun.

They work hard.

Admin duties now.

Hmmmm.

Beautiful weather this morning. I worked on cutting my lawn.

Loved the mushrooms! And I like lichen!

And blowing the driveway. Raking leaves.

Then cutting in the back and blowing off the deck. The filter makes it look redder than it actually is.

This time of year you can rake and an hour later looks like you didn’t do anything.

Bought a new coffee cup.

Good lunch with K.

Ashley and I had a productive talk about upcoming events and some financial planning ideas.

Worked with the kids at the mission. We gave some of the kids basketballs.

Admin duties now.

I thought this was cool.

Got the bills in the mail.

One of my favorite things: RECORDING!

I always enjoy making a new podcast!

Then a nice nap.

Beautiful weather outside today!
