Studied Portuguese.



Worked on verbs.

Went to Westside this morning.

Pastor Ben preached from Nehemiah on “What are you building?”

Uploaded my sermon notes to my Social Media feed.

I have material automatically generating five times a day until September 25th! Incredible how prolific I am. I still have six podcasts “in the can,” too!

Went for a 13.29 mile bike ride. One of my fastest.

I really feel strong. Way better than yesterday. I hadn’t eaten and hadn’t drunk enough before I rode yesterday. It’s all about nutrition and hydration BEFORE you exercise.

Enjoyed playing Battlefront.

Resting. Looking forward to the new team tomorrow! Can’t believe only two more weeks of the Summer! What?!

Admin duties now.

Rained about 3/4″ Friday.

Saturday I focused on Portuguese verbs.

Making progress on Duolingo!

Rode my bike 13.66 miles! Wow. It was hot. Even on a bike.

Came home, showered and rested.

Dropped off the Financial Report at our Treasurer’s house.

Then got groceries.

Finally ate lunch. I was feeling kind of dizzy. That happens when I work out too hard and don’t drink and eat enough. Felt fine a little later.

Fixed more juice for my hummingbirds.

Repaired the trash can lid.

Smoothed out and repainted my shoes.

Watched some UFO videos. Interesting.

Studied verbs more.

Irregular verb forms test.

Went to sleep early. Really tired.

My ears continue to clear. Thank you, Lord!

Studied Portuguese this morning! Almost to three months straight!


I continue to work on verb forms.

Added a new podcast! Perhaps one of THE most important Secrets of Life! Make sure you apply Verbal Surgery -469- “JBN–Just Be Nice!” Just do it!

Spent most of my day working on admin duties.

Edited the videos for the two teams.

Save it to my camera roll.

Uploaded to my YouTube server.

Then I write a final thank you email to each team. Includes the Photo Galleries and the link to the Video Documentary. Also has links to our social media.

Contacted by a team coming soon! Ashley is great taking care of that!

Part of the after team work is adding the email addresses to our newsletter list.

I also add every adult member to our snail mail newsletter list.

The new additions to the list we send a special intro letter urging them to become regular donors. I handle the addresses and envelopes and then Ashley inserts the letters and writes a note. It’s a good one/two punch.

I took Jesse and Kathy out to eat this evening for ribs. I haven’t been eating much lately. I kind of feel nauseated after all those ribs.

Best news is that my ears have finally started to clear. Thank you, LORD!

I rested today. Rained. I slept nearly two hours this afternoon. I still feel tired. I’ll be glad when I’m up to my full tiger tank self.

My ears are still stopped up. Especially my left ear. Hate it.

Thursday was our DDAY–Dedication Day for our teams from Main Street BC and Emmanuel BC! They have been two of my favorite teams this year and I have really enjoyed working with them!

Started my morning studying Portuguese. I’m nearly to 3 months!

Then lunch at Penang.

The teams went to the missions while Ashley and I set up the Fellowship Hall.

Then went to missions to confirm sites for next week.

I came back to the church to clean the FH. I like it to look nice for a fresh start!

Back to the church before heading to the missions. GREAT thing that we did as the Fellowship Hall at church was flooding!

A hose had come loose from the back of the toilet tank and was spraying water everywhere.

I mopped water for over an hour. Sure wish I would have had my wet/dry vac!

Then to the missions to check on the teams. They’re doing a great job!

Came home to work on admin duties. Too tired to ride.

My left ear is still pretty much totally stopped up. Makes me talk even louder. Yow!

Admin duties now.

Studied verbs this morning. It’s a process. 80 days straight tomorrow!

Went to Westside BC.

Our HOPE evangelism team gave a report from their trip to California. 30 people got saved. AMEN!

Came home to rest. Ear is still super stopped up. At least it doesn’t hurt. Still congested.

My voice is better.

Watching a cool movie called Given. Surfer family crosses 15 countries.

Added my electronic signature to Jesse’s company as one of the Board members.

Updated my social media feed.

I have it automated with material to the middle of September!

In keeping with our “Get Tribal” theme I’m adding an element tomorrow, “Mahalo” which is part of the Hawaiian greeting which means “thanks.” It also has a hand symbol. It’s called the “Shaka” sign which the Japanese people in Hawaii said that back in the 1800’s it meant “Praise the Lord.” Fascinating!

I like the sound of Hawaiian. I guess that’s partly from watching Moana yesterday! Sound of the ocean, baby!

Admin duties now.

Mileage log.

My ear is still very stopped up. But it’s not hurting today. Drank a lot of water. On antibiotics.

Studied Portuguese. Especially worked on verbs.

More people add me on Twitter every day. This one was really famous!

Added all the people from the team last week onto the email and newsletter list.

Got the emission tested on my car. Passed!

Did the shopping.

Enjoyed watching Glow on Netflix.

Resting, trying to get well before Monday.

Played Battlefront.

Rainy day today!

Nearly 1.5″ yesterday!

Cleaned and filled up my 4 hummingbird feeders. They are really drinking it down!

Woke up at 4:00am to my left ear completely stopped up and my head pounding. Not good. Tried changing head position to help, not any better. Called the doctor when it got light and set up an appointment.

Studied Portuguese.

Released a new version of Verbal Surgery -467- “This Is Not A Drill!” Super intense! Just click on the title and GROOVE!

Went in to the doctor at 11:30am and was out of there by 11:45am! Astonishing.

Went to Barnes and Noble to track down a Portuguese book.

Ate country cooking at Fried Tomato.

There is a cool antique place near the restaurant. I always take a few minutes to walk through it. Some interesting items but nothing I wanted to get.

Gassed up the car. Under $2/gallon. What?!

Worked on getting the newsletters out. Made the labels.

Got stamps. That took forever. Only one line.

I may try and see this.

These were cool stamps, too.

Put on the labels.

Stuffed envelopes. It’s WAY faster when I have a bunch of kids help me. And they LIKE doing it!

Got the job done and got them to the Post Office. Another job accomplished.

Went to Kroger to get my medicine.

Came home to eat, take meds and work on admin duties.

Amazing how everything is harder when you’re not feeling well. I really thought as of yesterday I was healed. This ear ache set me back. I knew I was still congested because I’ve been taking nose drops the last couple of nights. Just didn’t figure it would attack my ear so forcefully.

Got some new name labels. These were cool and some of the cheapest!
