Had a fun “me” day today!

One of my favorite things: Podcast!

This a one of my best efforts.

It’s called “Super YOU Booster!” Just click on the title and become a better YOU!

I went to see Kick Ass 2 this afternoon. I thought it was pretty good. Kinda silly. I liked the fight scenes.

Ate at Hot and Cold Buffet. It was really tasty.

Came home to rest and enjoy watching shows with K.

Admin duties now.

Went for a 2.60 mile run this morning. Warmish. GREAT to see blue skies again!

Always something new and beautiful to see.

Looked like some car went off the road.

I saw this sign near Thai of Norcross where J and I went for lunch.


Also this little guy was about the size of my hand and very shy.

This morning Jesse and I went to Norcross to meet up with our partners in the area. We are planning on starting a mission at Forest Vale.

Then over to the mission to work with the kids! Always entertaining.

Tremendous thunderstorm and torrential rain at the mission. Of course some of the kids have the compulsion to run around in it.

Had supper at Pizza Cafe with K and J! Fun!

Admin duties now.

Beauty.

Can you believe it? MORE rain? We’ve had over 2″ in the last two days. Lots of thunder today too.


Wrote my newsletter for this month. Also printed up the labels for the envelopes.

Enjoyed lunch with Jesse and Kathy.

Our friends at the Atlanta Metro Baptist Association printed the newsletters for us. Thanks, Joel! The kids helped us put the labels on the letters.

Then we helped the kids with their homework.


I taught Adit how to use a ball pump.

Had fun watching the new episodes of Suits and Duck Dynasty with K.

Admin duties now.

Interesting stickers.

Everyone needs a pair of these.

This morning I worked some more on my life insurance policy. Got it all ready to send off.

Had lunch at Waffle House with J. Then spent about an hour with him practicing driving a manual transmission. He’s getting the hang of it!

Kathy had some problems with the van, so I helped her take it over to the mechanics. Found out that the battery wasn’t charging properly.

J and I met up with Ashley at the mission. BIG group of kids there this afternoon. Always fun.


Enjoyed supper with my kids this evening before going home and picking up the van so K can use it to drive to Clarkston tomorrow to work with the babies.

Had fun watching a recorded episode of Elementary and Duck Dynasty with Kathy this evening.

Admin duties now.

Had fun recording a new podcast!

Do you know what your dream job is? What would that look like? Not sure? Then check out my new recording of “Real Dreams!”

Spent time today working on estimates for repairing Ashley’s car. Sadly, they were between $4,000-$6,000. Ouch. Her car had over 100,000 miles on her. All of the pros felt it wasn’t worth sinking that kind of money in her.

So we took her to the car graveyard.

Sad. But the main thing is that Ashley is OK! Cars come and go. It’s sad, but that’s just the way it is.

Enjoyed a fun meal with all my kids this evening at Cafe Istanbul. Great company. Awesome chilluns.

Watched Kardashians with K this evening. She had a great day with her refugee babies this morning. She’s happy about that!

Admin duties now.

I had a nice 3 mile walk today. Enjoyed seeing the sprouting mushrooms.

I like lichen.




Baby rose.

This afternoon I went to Lowes to pick up a new water hose and spray nozzle. This is where houses are born.

Gave myself a haircut. I’ve been letting it grow out. Got tired of that.

Went to a birthday party for my niece Katie this evening.

Another nice cool and rainy day.

Kathy goes back to work with her refugee babies in Clarkston tomorrow.

I liked this sign at the Methodist church.

Ashley and I enjoyed briefing our team from McDonough, GA this morning!

Then to the Buford Highway Farmers Market. FUN!



Best part of the day was working with the team from Foothills Baptist Church in Marble Hill, GA! Even though the weather was rainy and actually cool, we still had kids show up.

Ash and I stopped at Lowes to pick up a part for the sink near my office. Someone broke the other one. Still not sure how that’s even possible!

On the way home, Ashley’s rear tire on her Mustang picked up a nail.

Within ten minutes, there was hardly any air in the tire. Going around a corner, she applied the brakes and on the rain soaked highway her car started to fishtail out of control. She hit the brakes harder which sent her slamming into the guard rail. WOW!


She called me pretty shaken up, but was unharmed. Thank you JESUS! If she would have lost control of the car on the main highway it could have been really bad.

In the hour we waited for the tow truck we saw at LEAST ten wrecks of cars going around that same corner. Unbelievable. One of the cars actually slid out of control and went up into the median.

it was sad to see our “Little Red Pony” get towed off. But Ashley is Ok and really that’s all that matters. She may be sore in the morning from the air bags that hit her face. We’ll see. Please pray for her!

We planned on having the car towed to a repair shop, but they were all closed. So we took it to her house in Clarkston instead. Hopefully, we’ll get an estimate on how much to fix and it won’t be TOO expensive. The guy that towed it said that the frame wasn’t bent but the hood and both side panels will have to be replaced.

Hard ending to a good day.

Admin duties now.

Duh.

I can’t believe how COOL it is here in the ATL! Believe it or not, my temperature gauge said it was 60 degrees this morning . . . in AUGUST! Unbelievable!

Also got more rain. Another surprise this year. We actually have an over abundance of rain.

I actually wore long pants, shoes and a jacket today!

I helped Jesse move his big mattress to his apartment at Azalea. He’s looking forward to sleeping on that!

We couldn’t get the box springs in the van. We’ll have to wait to we can borrow a pick up.

Came home and got our “new” car! It’s a 1999 Nissan Altima.

We had about $1,200 worth of work on it. Drives great now!

Took Jesse out for about an hour to practice learning how to shift a manual transmission. He did a good job! We’re still building on his knowledge, but getting out of first gear is the hard part!

Then went to Lowes to pick up some duplicate keys for the car.

Came home to blow some bubbles, but it’s kind of windy.

Admin duties now. We have three teams in town tomorrow!

Had fun recording a new podcast!


Your mind and body are connected. Did you know manipulating your body affects how you feel? Check out “ME Body!” You’ll be glad you did! Just click on the title!

After recording I went for a 2.66 mile run. Took sweet Sugar dog with me me!

Lots of beautiful flowers on the way.

Squirrels like their fruit!

Got home and cleaned up, then went for lunch and did the family grocery shopping.

Then off to the mission to work with the kids! We had two teachers from the elementary school come by to visit us. They’d heard a lot about Mr. Tim.



Glad to have Jesse’s help!

Home to enjoy watching Duck Dynasty with Kathy!

I think a basic rule should be, “Never have hair bigger than your head.”

Spent time this morning working on my life insurance policy. I have a 20 year term which is about to end. Talked to an agent yesterday and again this morning. I think I have it all figured out.

I picked up Jesse this morning from the mission. We rode out to the North American Mission Board in Alpharetta. They had some supplies for us there!

We got some boxes of shirts as well as yarn and needles.

Stopped off at Barnes and Noble for a bit. One of our favorite things: bookstores!

J and I went to Clarkston to drop the materials off at the Clarkston International Bible Church and the Refugee Sewing Society. They seemed to be excited about the donations!

We tried to get renters insurance going for Azalea. It’s a work in progress.

Went to Walmart to pick up some groceries.

Checked out an antique store near the mission for a few minutes. Always something interesting to see!

Then to the mission to work with the kids. Had a whole mission full! They’re shy with their new haircuts.

Ate supper with J then headed home to work on admin duties.

Kathy is visiting with one of the young women she mentors. Hopefully she’ll be home soon!

Does this psychic have questionable abilities?

I liked this caterpillar outside the mission.

I thought this was funny.
