King! Global Mall! Al Madina! BAPS! Kitab! Mission!

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:22 pm  

Late night visitor to my feeders.

Studied Portuguese this morning.

Can’t say this was true for me.

Got the newsletters separted by donors. Folded the Stay on the Team pages. The water was cut off in Dekalb county. Major water main collapsed on Buford Highway. The team was late getting to the church. Had some extra time to work.

Enjoyed working with our team from Tennessee.

I also got the red threads for Rachel’s Tree of Love.

Lots of singing and dancerizing.

Fun presentation.

Rabbi Tim.

Sweet sisters. Penelope was pushing Everly around in the chair. Fun!

We had our Red Thread Ceremony. Promising to pray for a friend.


On Safari to Global Mall.


Always great to see Miles. He was in the area.



Every day I see something I’ve never seen before in my life.



I thought Ganesha was looking pretty dapper today.


Got the newsletters in the mail.

Had fun with the kids at the mission.

King University!

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:39 pm  

We started working with our team from King University from Bistol, TN on Monday. Ashley, Kathy and the girls did a conference in Columbia, SC while I was in Carrolton, GA.

I started the team by myself while Ashley drove back from SC.

We visited the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

We met up with Kathy and the girls at the market.


They’ve done a great job at the mission.




Ashley and I always enjoy briefing the teams.


Tuesday we took them on Safari to Asian Square.


And China Town!

The calligraphy is always popular.


The Serenity Garden.

After I took the team to Azalea, I went to the Atlanta Metro Baptist Association to pick up the newsletters.

Nearly 1.5″ of rain today.

Captured another squirrel this afternoon. I actually watched it get trapped. That makes ten.

Roopville Road Baptist Church!

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:13 pm  

Friday through Sunday night I was one of the missionaries at Roopville Road Baptist Church.



I enjoyed speaking to one of the SS Classes.


The choir was very strong.

Pastor Steven did a great job.

I stayed out in the country.

Cool barn!

Beautiful orange moon.

The clouds were fantastic.



Examining my eye color. I’m nearly sixty and until only recently have I realized that I I really have blue eyes.

Trickum! Girls! Set up!

Tim A. Cummins @ 11:09 am  

Studied Portuguese. Um pouco mais cada dia!

Tuesday I had an early meeting with the Beta Club at Trickum Middle School in Lilburn.

These honor students collected soccer balls and supplies for the amputee kids in Haiti.


These were just some of the over 100 that helped.

Went by Goodwill to look for a new sitting chair for Everly. Found one!
Had lunch with Ashley and the girls. Good kissing from Penelope!


Set up the Fellowship Hall at FBC Doraville for our team on Monday. From this.
To this.

Checked on the kids at the mission. Still testing.

Gassed up my car.

Good talk with Mateo Menedez about his new ministry.

Noticed that I have posted over 18,000 proverbs on my Twitter feed. Wow.

Podcast! Mission! Penelope!

Tim A. Cummins @ 2:48 pm  

Released a new podcast on Tuesday and went LIVE on Facebook. Verbal Surgery -535- “UN Control!”

How to gain the upper hand with your mind! Click on the title and feel good, NOW!

Uploaded to server.

Link on Facebook.

I redid the organization of my new book Story Tim!

I put all the relaxation and visualization material at the end. Also redacted any mention of hypnosis. It’s just not necessary to even use the term.
GREAT to see this project moving along. Also edited a few mistakes that Ashley found on her readthrough. I’m looking forward to seeing her illustrations.

Reading Enlightenment Now. A very positive and interesting book.


Saw some fascinating con trails yesterday. I’ve only seen this happen a few times. The water vapor doesn’t seem to diffuse.





Went to FBC Doraville to pick up checks. Also left a message with John Mahoney about setting up for our team on Monday this coming Thursday. I have a mission conference starting Friday and lasting the entire weekend.

Went to the mission to help the kids. No homework because of testing.

I took Penelope home with me to give Ashley a chance to work on the donor list. Every year in March we notify everyone on the list who has not donated that they will drop off the newsletter list if they don’t send a note back.

Penelope was fabulous.

Such a sweet family. So full of love.

I took Penelope to the park to play on the train.

Then took her to another park at PDK Airport. Beautiful sky and we must have seen at least twenty planes take off or land. FUN!




I got about seven hours of sleep last night. Penelope was feeling a lot better than she was last time!
I basically go to sleep when she does and wake up when she does. So no admin duties last night.

Better to focus on Penelope!

Newsletter! Bike!

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:56 pm  

Studied Portuguese. Surprised?

Worked on my newsletter.


Sent it to our friend Joel Harrison to print.

He won’t be back in the office till 3/5.

Printed off our labels for the newsletter. We need to separate the supporters who haven’t donated this month to make sure they still want to receive the letter.

Paid bills.

Deposited checks at the bank.

Did the shopping. What color are apples again?

These red grapes from Peru are excellent.

I feel a little more Incan when I eat them.
Got stamps for the newsletters.

Got groceries at Walmart. LOT.

Reading an interesting book called Enlightenment Now.

Went for a bike ride.

Still getting back in shape. Had problems with my seat today. Had to come back four times before I finally got it right.

Juvenile Sharp Shinned Hawk checking me out.

I love shots with the Sun or Moon interacting with trees. Sunflower.



Little purple flowers.

Gorgeous colors this evening.



Moonflower.

Portuguese! Westside! Hummingbirds!

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:09 pm  

Studied Portuguese. Sim!

Went to Westside BC.


We had a special type of Lord’s Supper where people came up as family groups.

I liked this sticker. It reminded me of Penelope.

You know I’m in Spring Mode when I clean and refill the hummingbird feeders. Can’t wait to see them again! Hope they all make it back.


Got about 1/2″ of rain today.

My Elaeagnus is doing well.

I liked these quotes by Richard Feynman.

Terrific album!

Watered my plants.

Portuguese! Penelope! Water Heater!

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:57 pm  

Studied Portuguese. Cada dia!

My Elaeagnus is doing well. This spring will be the first time it’s flowered. It’s a favorite scent of mine!

Reading Englightenment Now by Stephen Pinker. It’s very optimistic.

My Pink Magnolias are ready to bloom.


My plumber came back to install the pressure valve.

The hot water heater also had to be replaced. It was from 1998 and was only supposed to last twelve years. Se we got nearly double out of it! The new one also has more modern safety features.
Penelope came to visit. What a concentrated blessing of awesomeness she is!


Once we realized the water heater wasn’t working properly, Kyle went back to get a new one.

Penelope likes to swing!


I painted her toenails pink.



She was happy about it.

Released a new episode of Verbal Surgery -534- “GO Know!”

Just click on the title and GROOVE!

UPloaded to server.

Link on Facebook.

New water heater installed!

$1,740 for the repair of the shower handle, put on the pressure valve and a new water heater. I thought that was reasonable.
Keep Smiling Plumbing did a great job for us! Kyle is a master.
