Looks like something that might work out.

Also met with Bayo, Bennett and Kevin at CIBC.

We’re all involved in the ministry together.

Monitors! Supplies! Jesse! Mission!

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:54 pm  

Today I picked up ten monitors, keyboards and mice from Reboot, my computer partners.
y
m
m
My friend Doug Allison is getting some computers for us.

I saw this amazing “Coke” machine today! I had a touchscreen with about 50 choices. And a LOT of sub choices. It had only one spout!
c

c

Over 100 choices in all! Yow! Welcome to America, baby!
f

Went to Walmart to pick up a air mattress for Jesse.

Then to FBC Doraville to offload 7 of the monitors and peripherals for my friend Doug Allison. Sure was glad Ashley was there to help!
m
We set up the mission differently, putting the games in the kitchen and making the middle room the computer room.

a

Helped the kids at the mission at Azalea. Good group!
f
e
j

Set up Jesse’s bed for him. The management has really gone all out to get the place spruced up for him to move in.
j

And one of the mothers brought him supper! I’ve been telling the kids to tell their moms to bring Jesse food. Gives them a chance to show our family some love. ; )

We had our ESL classes this evening.
p
e
Got home after 9pm tonight. Tonight’s Jesse’s first night at the mission on his own. Easy to remember his start date! 9/11!

Beautiful sunset!
p

Stupid power lines.

I always found the geometry interesting.

I liked these footprints.

And the pipes. Interesting how your eyes see patterns in how they’re stacked.
p

Fun day!
t

GREAT to hang out with Jesse!
j

This sounds like a pretty good motto.
h
More shopping.
b

This morning I worked on a new podcast!

p
One of my favorite things. I really enjoyed the physics behind this episode!“Steamy Ice Water! Just CLICK on the title!

I cleaned the tank and took about ten fish over to the fish store. Too many in one tank.
t

Here’s two of them at the fish store.
f

Jesse and I went out to eat Mexican food with Ashley and Miles at El Taqueria del Sol. Delicioso.

Run! Mission!

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:25 pm  

This morning I ran 4 miles. Plenty!

Ate lunch with Jesse at Zaxby’s. Good stuff! Love hanging out with my kids.

Went to the mission to work with the kids.
m
Had the whole family there, including Miles!

We met outside because the mission is getting a face lift before Jesse moves in. I appreciate the management stepping in to help.

We were glad that Fabiola was feeling better after her surgery.

The kids thought this was funny.

Prep! Mission!

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:28 pm  

It’s been fun to think about the things that Jesse will need to live at the mission. We looked for an air mattress but didn’t find one we liked. Got some cleaning supplies.
m
Does this help your teeth see in the dark?
v

J and I met up with Ashley and went to Plaza Fiesta to check on Miles’ computer. We’re getting some diagnostics done.

I like the things I see there.

b

This too!
p

I sure have some great kids!
j

The manager has been very supportive and immediately got the carpets cleaned at the mission. So we did all our work outside.

Podcast! Mission!

Tim A. Cummins @ 11:28 pm  

Had a fun time this morning working on a podcast! p
“Statue of a Lion! Man, this was a great podcast. Click on the title and get to feeling GOOD

Uploaded my newest sermon to YouTube!
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-cxSl_Qaz8&feature=youtu.be

I think it’s pretty good. My overwhelming humility keeps me from going on and on about it.

Helped the kids at the mission. It was packed as usual.
k
j

Also very happy to see the ESL classes starting again at Azalea. We’re hoping we’ll have a steady group of people come. Hope so.
p
Talked with our manager at Azalea about Jesse moving in at the mission. I think it’s going to be a good fit for him. Plenty of friends there to make him feel loved and needed. Don’t we all need that? She was super supportive and enthusiastic about him being there. I was glad about that!

We stopped by ATT to check on getting internet over there for him. He’s still taking classes on line and needs to have reliable internet. That’ll be set up next week.

Enjoyed watching TV with K this evening. Sometimes I’m amazed at the girly television I watch with my wife. I’m even more shocked when I find myself kind of liking it.

I liked this spiral staircase brass.

Then shot over to Clarkston to join the family eating Indian food at Kathmandu grill. Excellent!

Admin duties now. Good labor day!
