Saturday I spent most of the day working on the Christmas mail out.

We had already written and produced the newsletters and calendar and had them printed up. The kids helped me do all the labels.

The big job was taking the individual calendars and laminating them.

Also needed to add the magnets to the back.

And then put everything in a big envelope to send to our supporters.

I went to visit Ashley and Miles and Penelope!

Got to see the baby in ICU for about 15 minutes. She’s a little sweetheart. She sure did get banged up during delivery. Can’t be easy to get a broken arm!

She’s still having breathing issues. Doctors are confident everything will be ok. Glad to hear that!

Had a restful evening. Went to bed early.

Went to Westside Baptist Church Sunday morning.

K wasn’t feeling well. Pastor Ben was visiting family.

Ate lunch at Piccadilly with K.

Admin duties now.

I thought this was unusual.

Wednesday evening I cleaned my room. What a job with vaccuming, and mopping.

I edited the video I shot of the Virginia Tech team.

Thursday morning I finished cleaning the glass doors.

Set up the tables and decoration.

Blew the leaves off the driveway.

Beautiful day!

Great Thanksgiving with the Doverspikes and Sullivan clans.

Babies!

Ashley and Miles went to the hospital Thursday morning around 7am. Our whole Thanksgiving meal centered around “How’s Ashley? Have you heard anything?”

Clean up and stack.

Fall colors.

Nearly full moon.

Went to sleep around 1:15am, baby Penelope still on the way, but not in the correct position. I wanted to be at the hospital SO bad. But Ash said she’d feel better if everyone was at home. So I stayed at home and checked the phone over and over.

This morning around 6:00am, I woke up, didn’t see a text from Miles and went into prayer mode. The Lord and I went to that hospital room to check on the kids. I was seeing inside Ashley and told the baby that everything is going to be fine. I could clearly see her little baby looking up and thinking, “That’s good. She’s in the correct position.” Later I found out that the baby is supposed to be born looking down. The doctor eventually had to use forceps to get her out. The Father told me, “She’s having trouble. I think I should help her.” He reached inside her and guided that baby out. At least that’s what I was seeing.

When I got to the hospital I found out that the birth was exactly when I was praying. I sure am glad that the Father was there to help, because it was as a nurse said, “a rough delivery.”

Kathy, Jesse and I went over to the hospital this morning to check on the little family! I thought it was better we wore masks because both K and J have been a little under the weather.

During the delivery, Penelope broke her humerus. Not sure what they do for that. Pray for her fast healing. She’s also been breathing a bit fast. She seems to be doing better.

At home resting now and working on admin duties.

Sewed up holes in my comforter. Ashley had a bunch of stitches too. Sad.

Ashley and I had fun briefing our team from Beaver Creek, TN today!

We took them on safari to the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

Then to Penang to eat Malaysian food for lunch.

Asian Square to see where the Buddhists buy their idols.

They had a great time at Woodgate.

Picked up stamps at the Post Office.

And envelopes, magnets and laminating sheets at Office Depot.

We did all the labels for the big envelopes.

The team also worked at Azalea.

I went by the Atlanta Metro Baptist Association to pick up the newsletter and calendars.

I still have to laminate and add magnets to them.

Went by Party City to pick up supplies for the Thanksgiving party.

Came home to vacuum and thoroughly clean my area downstairs. Needed it.

K and I watched Trains, Planes and Automobiles this evening. Hilarious movie.

I edited the video of the team from Virginia Tech. It’s processing the file into mp4 format, then I’ll upload it to YouTube.

Admin duties now.

Huh.

Double huh.

Crystals. Citrine and amethyst.

Cool shoes.

Beautiful sunset!

I wrote and produced the newsletter today. Sent it on to Joel Harrison to print.


Printed up our labels for the newsletters.

Ashley sent the calendar to be printed today.

Enjoyed spending time with Jesse.

Brought in the chairs and tables for the party on Thursday.

Admin duties now.

Beauty!

Ashley and I enjoyed briefing our team from VA Tech this morning.

Some of the guys got into the singing time!

After our dedication time, we went to explore and eat at Plaza Fiesta!

Buford Highway Farmers Market is always good!

Then to Azalea to work with the kids.

Sure do love my little girl, who’s having a little girl!

Long day. My voice held up pretty well. I used the mic 95% of the time which I know helps.

Admin duties now. K just got back from riding her bike. I know that was cold.

Beauty.

Light and shadow.

My voice has been hoarse. Trying to be quiet and rest. Watched church on TV. Jeff Lyle from Meadow Church.

I liked the sermon on miracles and healing.

I wrote up my sermon notes (which are the basis for my Twitter feed) and got them on my automated server that posts them every day.

Spent most of the day on the carpets.

First had to move all the things out of the room and downstairs.

Vacuumed.

Scrubbed the worst spots.

Went to Lowes to rent a carpet cleaner. They were out. So was Walmart. Finally found one at Kroger.

I used it but wasn’t impressed. Didn’t put out much product.

Really heavy and hard to drag.

Turned out well.

I helped put clean sheets on the beds. Hard job.

I also added another string of blue lights.

I enjoy playing with moving the camera with stationary lights using a slow shutter speed.

Our yard guy came over this evening to finish blowing the leaves out of the yard.

Watched several random shows with K including “Everybody hates Chris” and a standup special with Kevin Heart. Always funny.

Admin duties now.

Stickers are from the Ukraine.

Nearly 1.5″ of rain last two days.

Spent most of my day cleaning up the area near my water heater.

Took everything out.

Decided what was trash, recycle, Goodwill, storage at FBCD or the Time Capsule (the area under my house.)

Some of the stuff was heavy. Hopefully, my elbow will be fine.

Enjoyed supper with J and K!

Watching Baylor football. Sic ’em!

Admin duties now.

Fall trees!

Sad flag.

I had a fun day with Jesse!

We had lunch and saw Spectre. It was pretty good. Had some slow parts.

I liked the helicopter scenes.

Did the family shopping. K and J are thirsty.

Went to Game Stop to pick up the new Star Wars game Battlefront. This game looks uber.

Watched an Italian movie with K. I like foreign movies. Bella!

Admin duties now.

Weird things at Walmart.

Shocking.

Beautiful sunset with moon.

Had a fun lunch with Ashley and our good friend Rob Martin! Always great to see partners!

Spent some time talking with my friend Ian North about some code issues in Chamblee regarding after school programs. Pray that everything will work out and will not affect any of the missions!

Had a few minutes before the mission kids arrived so went to a couple of antique stores in the area. Didn’t buy anything (which is typical about 80% of the time) but I always have fun looking. I thought these tube were cool.

Don’t see this every day.

Had a great time working with the kids at the mission.


Ate supper with Jesse. Went to Walmart to get some supplies for the mission and for our family.

Bad traffic on the way home. Road work on 78.

Kathy went to the doctor today. She’s been getting out of breath really easily. They’re doing some checks including blood work. She goes back for a heart test in a couple of weeks.

Admin duties now.

Fall trees!


Beauty!

Moon!

I had a fun day! Ate lunch with Jesse, Ashley and Miles. Always good.

I uploaded the recording that Anthony Jacquin, Jesse and I made yesterday.

Came home to prep and get my studio set up to record an interview with a friend of mine in Canada, Anthony Hadlen. We’ve known each other for years. He’s a really talented guy.

The recording went great! We talked about success and how to find happiness, goal setting and getting things done. Check out the
“Tim A. Cummins interview with Anthony Hadlen”

Just click on the title and GROOVE!

Worked with the kids at the mission. Always fun.

POURED down rain!

Ate in Chamblee, then came home. Gave the weather some time to blow throw. Hate driving in it!

Admin duties now.

Plenty of these!

I like lichens.

Can’t beat this.
