Last night I got home around 10:30pm. I actually slept over 8 hours straight. Wow!

Got up and uploaded pictures from the weekend with Cross Pointe and Roopville Road Baptist Church.

Once the blog was caught up, I started editing video. Got that finished and processed.

I found the charger that one of the team members needed from the Mississippi group. I packaged it up, and took it to the Post Office to mail.

Uploaded to YouTube. Now working on burning a dvd of the project to send to the church.

Spent a couple of hours going from one Dollar Tree store to another.

I think I visited five in all. One of the things we do with the teams is show them my enormous Elephant Bird egg. I tell they how they need to have great EGGspectations and EGGcellent effort!

At the end of our week together, Ashley and I present the Golden Egg of EGGcellence. I’ve got a bunch of these plastic eggs now.

I paint them gold and Ashley writes a note on them. It becomes a trophy for their team and helps them to remember to pray for us and hopefully come back.

I’m always coming up with some crazy idea to make the Whirlwind Missions experience even better!

Went to Huntington Terraces this afternoon to share with the kids at the mission what had happened to Bayo.

The Spanish Pastor who we’ve been working with was there to talk to the families. I was able to share with the volunteers how much we loved Bayo. I was glad Raul was there too.

Went by my office to drop of the supplies I’d used for the weekend.

Then went to the mission to work with the kids.

Enjoyed supper with Jesse.

Kathy and I watched the Theory of Everything this evening.

Admin duties now.

Beautiful spring trees!

I love raptors.

Saturday, Ashley and I had a fun time briefing our team from Crosspointe Church!


We had a great time of dedication with these awesome families!

In our prayer time, I talk about the importance of our prayers being EXACT. I have everyone cross their two index fingers in the form of an X. We saw these con trails when we went outside. It was like a verification from the Lord!

Then to the Buford Highway Farmers Market for our Cultural Safari and outreach.

Over to Azalea to work with the kids. Here’s what Ashley and I picked up for the party.

Then straight to Carrolton to meet with the folks at Roopville Road Baptist Church.

We had a fun missions fair on Saturday evening.

I stayed with the Jackson family. They have a beautiful house out in the country.

Sunday morning I spoke to a variety of people from their church during the SS class time.

Terrific worship service.

I was interviewed too and was my usual calm, sedate self.

Ashley and Kathy joined me in the evening to speak to the Youth group. Good time.

Got home Sunday night around 10:30pm. Pretty much went straight to bed. I actually slept all the way through the night. Can’t remember the last time I’d done that! I’ve been really worn out.

I got really sad news on Friday that my good friend Bayo Otiti had died. I’m still grieving. His memorial service will be held Thursday.

This afternoon I plan on meeting with the kids at the Terraces to let them know what happened. Very sad.
