Studied languages this morning.



I’m having trouble with this one question. The answer they give is wrong. Even when I give their incorrect answers still doesn’t work. It’s a puzzle.

Recorded a podcast this morning. Always enjoy that!

Jesse’s flowers are blooming!

Got the groceries as well as a new stroller for the girls. We need two small ones for Penelope and Everly rather than the one double stroller that Ash has. That thing is too hard to move around.

Had lunch and then went and got the groceries together.

I love this shot of us together when he was a little J.

Started raining this afternoon. Enjoyed watching the last of the Thor movie and playing Battlefront 2.
Also applied more silicon to the front of the shower wall. Hopefully, I can get it to stop leaking. I’ll test it out tomorrow.
Admin duties now.

Worked on editing the three videos that I shot for the teams last week. Always takes time. Processing and Uploading to YouTube in particular.


I consider the team “complete” when I have sent the final email to them with the links to the YouTube video and the four photo galleries.

We had the girls over today. Penelope and Everly are SUCH a huge blessing. So much fun!


Got my new checks in. I’ve been waiting for them to pay bills.

I paid of my MasterCard bill. Always great to have zero debt.

Recorded a new podcast called, “The Power of Being Wrong.” I thought it was pretty good. It’ll release in a week or so.
Sad to hear that Anthony Bourdain is gone. He was a favorite.

Came home to work on editing and posting videos on YouTube and other admin duties.

Big globe!

They’ve been a great group!



Poor Penelope got sun screen in her eyes this morning. Hurt!
Golden child!

We took Deep Springs and Turning Point to Global Mall and the Shiv Mandir.

Fashion show at the Global Mall, too!

Studied Spanish and Swahili while Ashley took the team into Al Madina. The girls were sleeping in the truck with me.

In the evening, we had block parties and concerts at Azalea Place and Don Juan.
Turning Point did a fantastic job. GREAT to have them back in town!






The skits were fun!

Watered my plants.



Went to Westside BC.

I usually play djembe, but my hands have been bothering me so I took a break today.

Pastor Ben spoke on evangelism and told the story of Paul’s conversion and healing.

I thought this was funny.

Ashley and I briefed the leadership from Perimeter Church who will be helping us with their Rush program in July.


Deposited checks.

Went to Walmart and Office Depot to get notecards and more name tags.

Developed the route for my bus run tomorrow with Opelika BC. I will cover six locations and Ashley’s bus will go to eight. These are my six.

I had a good talk with the group this evening. Rocked out with Oshe Baba. Always a crowd favorite. The team helped me haul our stuff from our closet by the fellowship hall to the sanctuary where we’ll be meeting tomorrow. Big group in all of over 130 people!
Fantastic clouds tonight!


Admin duties now.

This morning I studied Spanish and Swahili.

Fifty days! Making progress! I love living in Atlanta. Friday I had an opportunity to speak Swahili with four different people! What a place!

I worked on financials most of the morning. I tallied up the checks that I’ve received from Whirlwind that I haven’t cashed. Last year was a very tight year for us. I didn’t dare take extra money.

That’ll help pay bills now that the ministry is doing better financially.

I also figured out how much I’ve spent using Amazon buying supplies for the ministry.Everything from batteries and envelopes to cables and cameras.

It’s been over a year and a half since I’ve been reimbursed for any of that. It’ll help pay off Kathy and my dental bills. Wow is that stuff ever expensive!
I released a new edition of Verbal Surgery -562- “Blind Hat.”

See things in a new way! Just click on the title and GROOVE!

Uploaded the episode to my server.

Link on Facebook.

Edited the video that I shot last week of our team from Mississippi.

I mark the team complete after I’ve sent them the final email with links to the video on Facebook and the photo galleris of the pictures we took.

Went on a 9.61 mile bike ride.
It’s been too wet to ride over the last couple of weeks. I was concerned that my hands and arms would bother me with tingling, but I did great! It’s amazing how exercise can improve things!
After the big storm yesterday, there was a lot of tree limb and power line damage. I had to ride another route to get around the downed lines.


I was sad to see this Camillia bush beaten up. It was really a beauty!

Mushrooms were sprouting.

They are a sign that the tree isn’t in good health.

Came home and worked on the shower. I’m still trying to determine where it is leaking. Water is such tricky stuff!

Watched the new Steve Martin and Martin Short Netflix special with Kathy. I thought it was pretty funny.
Admin duties now.

Studied Spanish this morning.

Ashley, the girls and I enjoyed briefing our team from Morrison Heights BC in Clinton, MS.







We took them on safari to Plaza Fiesta! Penelope always loves that place!

Sharp shinned hawk on the fence near my house this evening.

Took them on safari to Global Mall to eat at Ashiana and see the Shiv Mandir.

Hindu gods.



I saw this sign at Global Mall. Metasign.

Then on safari to the BAPS Hindu temple.

It’s the third largest Hindu temple in the world.

Then to Al Madina to see the Koran book and grocery store.

Picked up my car at the church and got the newsletters in the mail. Mission accomplished!

Came home to rest. Been really tired and kind of light headed. That’s not zesty. My arms have been tingling some too. They feel better every day.
We’ve received nearly 2″ of rain in the last two days.

Cleaned and refilled my hummingbird feeders.

Put some seed in the birdfeeders. I don’t put too much. The squirrels just knock it all out. Goes bad on the ground, especially when it’s rainy.

I also scrape some suet on the base of the tree for other birds that don’t like climbing to eat.

Completed my fourth go through Story Tim.

I think it’s pretty close to done. I have about fourteen out of the sixty six chapters that I will re-record.

Admin duties.
