Moon! Podcast! J! Newsletter! Shopping! Mission!

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:58 pm  

What a spectacular full moon Sunday night!
s
Jesse came by to visit today! Pure awesomeness!
s

I recorded a podcast this morning. Or at least I thought I had. Some type of operator error. I successfully achieved my goal this afternoon, but it was a abbreviated edition.
s

This is a terrific episode. Do you like plants? I draw some comparisons between us and our green friends in “Roots and Fruits!”

Uploaded and marketed the piece on Facebook.
s
s

Produced my newsletter.
s

Picked up a few items at Walmart.
s

Went to the mission to work with the kids!
s

My new favorite helper. She’s a VERY good baby.
s

Beautiful clouds!
s
s

Got home and put more silicon dap on one of the walls in the shower. Every once in a while it’ll leak just a little bit. Water is such a tricky thing. I used to see it all the time with roof leaks. Often, the actual problem would not be near where the leak appears.

Admin duties now.

I love the Blue Birds that come to my feeder. You can hardly hear their wings when they fly.
s
Sunset!

Tim A. Cummins @ 6:15 pm  

Friday evening: snow flurries!
s

Saturday was cold, windy and a touch of snow!
d
s
s
s

s
s

Not exactly paralyzing. Still froze up the bird baths.
s

Set up Dropbox and shared the promo video file with Ashley.
s

Mexican with K!
s
s

My comforter is old. I must have sewn up at least 10 small tears. Fixed now!
s

K and I binged on Doc Martin, Rosemary and Thyme and Longmire! Fun!

Sunday morning K and I went to Westside Baptist.
s
s

Always a good time with Pastor Ben. He spoke on Victory! Amen!
s

K and I ate southern cooking for lunch.

Home to work on social media. They are my version of sermon notes.
s
s

Worked on K’s meds again. I think I have it figured out now. Not easy.
s
Cleaned the fish tank.
s

Then went for a 2.68 mile run. Felt good. Beauty on the road.
s
s

s
d
s
s

This is in the not good category. It gets so warm that the trees and shrubs start to bud out. Then it freezes and hurts them.
s
My cholo look. Vato.
s

Came home to work on admin duties and enjoy time with K.

Over kill imho.

Editing! Tax Letters!

Tim A. Cummins @ 6:22 pm  

Rainy, cold day in the ATL. It rained over 2″ last night
s

Supposed to freeze late tonight. Dekalb county sent kids home early.

Edited the video I shot for Ashley for the Gateway BC mission conference.
s

It’s a promo for the conference. They said they wanted to edit it, so I did just a rough edit for them to play with.

Spent most of the day going through the donor tax letters that Ashley had printed up.
s

Did the labels. Found the address. Put the label on that specific donor’s letter/envelope and put the return label on it.
s

Went to the Post Office to get stamps.
s

Stamped the letters and got them in the mail.

s

Ate a burger then came home to watch Doc Martin and Longmire with K.

Admin duties now.

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:11 pm  

Got the dvd to the Savannah team in the mail.

Had a fun day with Ashley and Penelope!

Rainy day.
s

We had a meeting with our Quickbooks expert today. Ashley is so smart and with some good guidance she learns super fast.

I had the best part, holding P!
s

Today was the first time I’ve fed her a bottle. She was a delight.

The girls and I went to Azalea to pick Jesse up for lunch. We enjoyed delicious Brazilian food.

Went to Sabra Management. We want to set up a lunch meeting with them to square away a couple of minor problems.

To the office to check on mail and take care of baby.

Went to Lowes to make extra keys for the mission at Azalea.
s

Worked with the kids at the mission. 8 times tables this week.
s
Isn’t Ashley looking great!? All that working out is paying off.

Took Ashley back home. Glad to see that Miles is getting around ok. I was pretty worried about his foot.

Gassed up the car. Cheap.
s

Kathy and I watched the first episode of Doc Martin. I like that show.

Admin duties now.

When in doubt,

Cold! Crown! Errands! Mission!

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:43 pm  

Super cold this morning. Down to 19 degrees.
s

I keep sugar water in the hummingbird feeders 365 days a year. Small insects use it as a food source.
s
I find all of it interesting.

It’s hard to keep it above 60 in my room.
s
These type of heaters do well and are safe.
s

Chilly.
s

This morning I worked on social media.
s
Posted my version of sermon notes onto my Twitter feed. Over 80,000 followers.

Went to the dentist!
s
My temporary crown fell off. I went back today to get it put back in.
s
s

Believe it or not, later today it came loose again. Bahd luck. I may try and go back tomorrow. What a drag.

Edited and uploaded the video I shot this weekend to my You Tube account. Burned the dvd and took it over to FBC Mountain Park.

GREAT to see Pastor Paul and Bro. Richard King today! I’ll be speaking there in February.

Also talked to them about our recent big auto and dental bills. They help us from time to time with benevolence gifts.
s
What a blessing this church has been to our family!

Went by the bank to deposit money.
s
Did the shopping for some family groceries.
s

Sorted out Kathy’s meds. Went to the pharmacist to get the meds she needed reordered.
s

It’s very complicated.
s

Went by the office to pick up the mail.

Tim A. Cummins @ 6:02 pm  

K and I had a fun time at Westside Baptist on Sunday. Someone was really in a hurry to get to church, I reckon.
s
s
s

Pastor Ben talked about the blessings of obedience.
s

One little girl accepted Jesus.
s
Rested the rest of the day. Needed it. My voice was pretty rough after the big teams on Saturday.

I had fun watering my plants. Over 40 different types of succulents.
s
s
d
s

Kathy came with me Monday morning to FBC Doraville. It’s great to have her there to help with sweet baby P.

Always fun to brief the teams! Today we talked about the relationship between Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

I get in my kurta and turban for the talk about Hinduism.
s

Part of the Dedication Day is passing the baton and saying, “It’s up to ME!”

Rest! Skidaway! Mtn Park!

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:54 pm  

Friday was a rest day for me. I knew Saturday would be intense.

Enjoyed a quiet, rainy day.
s
s
Up early Saturday morning to prep the room for the last minute changes.

We have Skidaway Island Baptist Church from Savannah, GA in town today and Monday.

GREAT to be with Ashley back doing the show!

Kathy helped us out watching the baby. What a Capital P Blessing she is.

d

Took the Savannah team to the Buford Highway Farmers Market.
d
d
Rushed back to the church to brief our team from FBC Mountain Park. The kids from the Disciple Now conference.
s
s
s

Had a fun time briefing them.

Then on to five locations. Used to be really difficult. Now we just give them the address and they put it in their gps. Groovy, baby.

Ashley, the baby and Kathy worked our way around the locations making sure everyone was doing well. Ashley takes pictures while I shoot video. I shoot stills, too.
d
d
s

The baby is such a joy.
d
Today was the first day that she looked at me and smiled! Beauty.

I took my girls out to eat Chinese food.

Took some subs to Jesse. He wasn’t feeling well.

Back to the church to clean up. There were musical instruments everywhere. After the singing, I told them to put the instruments under their seats. I should have had them pass them to the end of the row and collected them. My bad.

I have things on display that I don’t want left out in the open. Fragile, valuable things. So I went back to make sure that sort of stuff was put up.

At home working on admin duties. K is already asleep.

Cool cirrus clouds.

Podcast! Hari! Recon! Mission!q

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:01 pm  

Enjoyed one of my favorite things: Recording!
d

I had a great time making “Untitled.” As soon as we give any individual or situation a title, we will immediately have a reaction. Just click on the title and GROOVE!

Part of my admin duties tonight is to upload the edition and put the link on FB.

We had a good meeting with our new CPA this morning, Hari.

I think he can help us switch our financial system over to Quikbooks. It’ll be worth the hassle in the long term.

Ash, Penelope and I went for Thai food for lunch. Excellent.
s

We made the rounds of ten different apartment complexes in preparation for the teams coming this weekend.
s
Alan is helping us clean out and sort the things in our closet. GRACIAS!

Tomorrow is the first of our competition with the multiplication tables.
