I uploaded my podcast that I recorded yesterday to my server this morning.

Went to Westside Baptist Church.

Pastor Ben spoke about the responsibilities of Christians.

It was great to have Penelope at our house!

K had some especially good time with her today.

My Girls.




I liked this anthill outside church.

This morning I had fun recording! Yeah, baby!

PermaNICE is a terrific episode of Verbal Surgery which gets to the heart of our actions towards others!

Came home after recording and started moving plants outside.

Trimmed some of the dead leaves away and watered them thoroughly.

I was sad to see that one of the bromeliads had barely survived due to lack of light behind the other plants. It’ll hang in there!

Painted K’s toenails.

Vacuumed the house after taking the plants out. Dirt and leaves, etc.

Went to the UPS store to send my tennis shoes back for the correct size.


After at least 10 years of use, I’m retiring my old shoulder bag for a new one. You can tell I’d made a lot of repairs.

Jesse spent the night at our house last night after we had sprayed his room with bed bug spray. The insects we found turned out to be carpet beetles and NOT bed bugs. Praise the Lord for that!
We still took everything he owned and washed and dried them at high heat. That was mucho trabajo.

12 garbage bags full of clothes, rugs, shoes and bedding. We used 8 washing machines including two super heavy duty ones at one time.

After they’re cleaned, more sorting and folding and hanging.

And drying.

We washed all the clothes at a lavandaria near FBC Doraville. Completely Latino. I liked it.

This warning was on the washers and driers.

This morning I recorded! Yeah, baby!

It’s important to know how to relax. We all need more “Chill Will.” Just click on the title and GROOVE!

Uploaded to my server.

Link on Facebook.

Ate lunch with all my girls!

Went to the Post Office to mail some tshirts to teams.

Then to Chamblee to help clean up Jesse’s room. We thought there might be bed bugs. I took samples to the exterminator, he said they were carpet beetles! That’s a relief. I still bought the spray for bed bugs and sprayed the room thoroughly.

J and I went for supper at the food court at Northlake Mall. J got Egyptian food.

Got J’s prescription for his glasses and checked out frames. I think he has a couple he likes. Great!

Did the shopping while we were at Walmart.

Came home to watch Foyle’s War with K. Watched a dinosaur show with J.

Admin duties now.

Ashley, Penelope and I enjoyed briefing our teams on Catholicism this morning. It’s also our D Day or Dedication Day. We always have gifts for our team leaders!

The Golden Egg of Eggcellence.

Bubbleation!

P likes the “It’s up to ME” baton!


I went for the sarape/mariachi look today!

Anointing with oil from the Holy Land.

Promise to pray.

Signing the Landing Pad.

Glad to have Kathy come for our last day of the Spring Teams!

Went on Safari to Plaza Fiesta.

Penelope loves shiny shoes!

After looking around Plaza Fiesta, we also checked out Enigmas, another botanica.
Voodoo dolls and monkey paws. Whoa.

Then to the missions!

I sent Ashley and the baby on home early. I hate waking up Penelope when she’s resting. Ashley has done a phenomenal job with the teams. I can’t believe how awesome it is to work with Ashley and Penelope. I’m so lucky.

I helped the teams get on site.

Went by the bank to get some money for one of our partners.

Checked on the teams.

Looks like Jesse may have bed bugs. That’s not zesty. We’ve only seen one. He’s cleaning all his bedding now. I’ll talk to the manager tomorrow to get an exterminator over there. He can stay with us while all that is going on.

Got home late after helping J. K was already asleep. 6am comes mighty early!

Looking forward to a break tomorrow. I’m always a bit sad when the last team leaves. It means much less A&P time. No way that’s good. : (

Admin duties now.

I took Kathy out to eat Wednesday evening. I like shooting lights like this with a slow shutter speed.

I’m studying Hebrew in preparation to my trip to Israel in May. For the first time, I really understand Ashley’s tattoo. It’s the Tetragrammaton, or the four consonants that the name for the Lord, Yod Heh Vev Heh.

Ashley, Penelope and I enjoyed briefing our team on Judaism, Christianity and Islam this morning.

We had our Red Thread ceremony.

It’s our wearable Prayer Trigger!

Then on Safari to Global Mall.

Delicious Indian food!

Shiv Mandir.

Then to the BAPS temple. It’s the third largest Hindu temple in the world.

Finished our Safari with a visit to Al Madina, a great representation of the Middle East.

Then to the missions!

They are doing a great job!

Admin duties now.

Gas continues to creep up.

Ashley, Penelope and I had a great time briefing the team from Mobile, AL on Hinduism and Buddhism.

We took them on safari to Asian Square where we saw where the Buddhists buy their idols, enjoyed a coconut bun at Hong Kong Bakery, and saw snakes in a jar at Pho Hoa.

Had Malaysian food at Penang.

Then to China Town for calligraphy, the Serenity Garden and mochi ice cream.


P was digging the calligraphy.

I love Ash in this dress.

They did a great job at the missions.




Home to work on grant proposal documentation, and admin duties.

Beauty!

I want to know.

I edited my sermon, Outreach Greatest Hits, encoded it as an mpeg4 file and uploaded to YouTube. Click “HERE” to see the sermon! I just watched it. My overwhelming humility keeps me from going on and on about how good it is.

Met up with Ashley at FBC Doraville.

GREAT to see all THREE of my girls today!

We gave our initial briefing.

Then took them on Safari to the Buford Highway Farmers Market.


Kissing the frozen sheep head.

Amazing what I can get people to do.

Then to Azalea Place and Huntington Terraces!




Penelope is always a hit.

Made some keys for the mission.

Went to Michaels to get more Red Thread.

Home to watch Foyle’s War with K.

Admin duties now.

Saturday evening I worked on updating my Twitter feed.

I was in Rabbi Mode this morning at Westside Baptist Church!

I spoke on Outreach Greatest Hits. My favorite ways to share the Gospel! I recorded my sermon and will have it online soon!

Decision cards.

Came home and started cleaning again. Cycle of sweeping, vacuuming and swiffering.

Everything was dusty. Looks great now!

Met up with Ashley at FBC Doraville. We set up the fellowship hall for The Show.

Always glad to have Penelope!

The dogwoods are fantastic at the church.

Room is dust free. Amazing.

Watched Foyle’s War and Death in Paradise with K.

Edited the video of my sermon this morning. It’s converting the video into mpeg4 format. Then I’ll upload it to YouTube. Finally, I’ll make a copy and give it to Pastor Ben.

Admin duties now.

Beautiful moon.

I love the geometry.

I like doing shots with bright lights and manipulating the camera set on slow shutter speed. This neon is at our favorite Mexican food restaurant, El Torerro.

Spruced up St. Francis.

Cleaned up around the house.

Dusted and cleaned the rugs around my bed.

Lot of sweeping.

Had to get refills for my swiffer mop. Highly recommended.

Vacuumed the house.

Cleaned the stairs.

Wrung out the rugs.

Took my plants outside. Then K told me it’s going to get cold tonight. I’m sure they’ll be fine.






Got a good start on cleaning my downstairs area.

Washed Lil’ Red.


Shopping at Wal Mart.

Looking forward to some down time with K this evening.

I preach at Westside Baptist Church tomorrow morning. That’s where K and I go to church.

Spring Break is here! I’ve done a lot of work and had a lot of fun!

Wednesday, I gave myself a hair cut. I always leave the trimmings for the birds to use to line their nests.

The Gold Lamps turned out great!

I helped Ashley get the Corolla over to the Toyota dealership. They had to change out the air bags.

Always great to hang out with Penelope!

I got Ashley a Ipad mini! We’ll be able to use that a lot with teams!

Took the financial report to our treasurer’s house.

Wednesday evening I went to see one of my favorite guitar players, Robin Trower.


The warm up band was Josh Taerk. I got to meet him.

Robin did a great job. He reminded me of Jimi Hendrix.

But I did get tired of the long, almost never ending guitar solos.

I like the art work near Variety Playhouse.




Thursday, I went by FBC Doraville to pick up the mail. Amen for supporters!

I then got on the Marta and rode it to Peachtree Center which is right beside the MARTA station. Met up with my friend Michelange Quay at the Marriot. Beauty place!

He spoke at the African Literary Conference.



He produced and wrote a movie called “Mange me corps” set in Haiti. Interesting style. It was fun to sit in on the conference.

Interesting sculpture.

Fountain.

Sky view.

After he spoke at the conference, I took him on safari to Stone Mountain for sunset.

Fantastic.

Going up or going down?

It was amazing.

He liked the QT Slurrys. Extra, extra Reece’s Pieces.

Went to CD Tower.

Also went to the Hong Kong Bakery for coconut buns. And Hoa Da to see Cobra’s in a jar.

China Town and White Windmill were great! And then ate at China Delight. Good times with some fun company.

The azaleas have been fantastic!

Truth!

Not the best parking job!

I like the sound of this!

Then there’s this.
