Sad morning as I went to T&G to get the last of my stuff from the Lumina. She’s been a faithful servant.

This morning Ashley and I did our briefings on Islam and Hinduism.


Then we took them to Madina.

And over to hear Tek do part of a pooja, or prayer, for Shiva.

Ash and I enjoyed delicious Indian food at Ashiana. Then checked out an Indian grocery store. Very interesting. We noticed this guy’s office by the store.

Enjoyed visiting with the Family Church at the missions.

We had the kids at Azalea help us do the labels for our newsletters.

Took a quick dip in the pool before greeting my friends from Westside Baptist Church. We had planned on working at Shallowford Gardens, but at the last minute I changed the location and moved us to Cumberland Court. Turned out to be a good plan as 19 people came to the Lord!

Tomorrow ends the final day of the regular weekly Summer Teams! I thought you’d be dying to know how my “chevrons” were looking.

You don’t get a tan like that sitting in an office.

Enjoyed watching White Collar with K this evening.

Admin duties now. Glad we start at 10:30am tomorrow. Gives me a bit more time to rest.
Just in case you were wondering . . .

Had a fun time briefing the team from Family Church this morning! Ashley and I always enjoy doing that.

Took them on a safari to CD Tower, the Chinese pharmacy and Carneceria #1!

Then over to the missions. They’re doing a great job!

Had an interesting time at the Buddhist temple in Brookhaven. I thought it might be a good spot to take the teams to next Summer.

We looked at some other grocery stores in the area as well.

Had a good time flying my quadcopter with Ashley for a bit before the evening team started.

It’s cool to be working with my friend Pastor Ben Lehman in the evenings! We led 13 people to Christ tonight. AMEN!

Admin duties now and getting ready for a conference in Oklahoma.

I got this Mini Cooper at CD Tower. I liked how Ashley put our family picture in it.

I liked the sound of this. Sounds like something you might call your grandfather.

Is this guy shooting me the bird. TWICE?

I don’t think I want to use any soap that makes me smell like DUDU.

Maybe if I went here I’d grow magic hair.

I’m always trying to come up with this.

There’s something about big numbers. Today my Chrysler Concorde went over 200,000 miles!

A special shout out to my friends Carl and Pat Barrington who gave that car to our family six years ago. What a blessing they have been to our family!

Ironically, another car they gave us, more than TEN years ago, finally died a peaceful death taking Ashley and Miles to an encampment in Tennessee to tell over 100 young people about Jesus. The Lumina was a trusted a valued vehicle to our family. She will be missed!

HOT day today!

Ashley and I did our briefings for our team from Alabama today!

Family Bible Church came back to work with us again this year. They’re doing a GREAT job!

We took them to the Buford Highway Farmers Market. Always fun.

The Whirlwind Missions tradition of kissing the frozen pig head!

Then over to the missions!

Then this evening we had our HOPE team from Westside Baptist Church in Snellville, GA come back to work with us in Chamblee. Pastor Ben Lehman is one of my favorites!

They did a great job and at least one of my Muslim kids accepted Christ as their personal savior! AMEN! I’ve been praying for her for years.

Got home about 10:30pm this evening. LONG day!

Great to have the family there!

Kathy and I had a fun time at Clarkston International Bible Church this morning.



Pastor Phil preached from 1 Cor 13 . . . .the love chapter. He did a great job!

This Saturday, I’ll be performing a wedding with Katie Mitchell and Tommy Stiffler and I’ll be preaching from that chapter too!

K and I went to lunch at the Kathmandu restaurant in Clarkston. We ate there about two years ago and didn’t like it. But today it was awesome! I talked to them about the changes. Apparently, there was a new owner and that made all the difference.

Working on getting the dvds that I edited and burned to disk to the teams from last week. I like to get that job done asap. That’s the final piece of work before I consider that team assignment complete.

I’ve enjoyed flying my chopper around the yard.

I liked this image. Reminded me of me and God.

Had a fun time briefing my team on Islam and Buddhism today.

Then toured Al Madina. It’s Ramadan now, so my Muslim friends are even more serious.

Visited the Shiv Mandir at Global Mall. There was a couple participating in a special Pooja, or prayer ceremony while we were there.

After lunch we went to the missions for the team’s final day. Sad to see them go. They’ve been an outstanding group!

Came home for an hour to rest, then went to Oak Forest apartments in Scottdale to work with my HOPE team from Westside Baptist Church. I love Pastor Ben Lehman. He’s such an intense guy! Reminds me of someone I know. ; )

Poured down rain and powerful lightning when we first got there. But after about 20 minutes it stopped raining and we were able to share with the families that had gathered there.

I felt like this sunset was a special gift from the Lord after the rain!

Home now working on admin duties. I edited the video I shot for the Colquitt team before I went to the mission at Oak Forest.

Looking forward to rest and church tomorrow.

I heard from Ashley. She and Miles had a great time with the kids at the camp and they were settled in for a rest at the hotel. Good to hear that! No matter how old she gets, she’s still my little girl. Love you, Ashley!

Never seen this before!

It’s been rainy. Means mushrooms. I saw these near the church. Never seen this type before.

I did my briefing on Buddhism this morning. Missed Ashley being there! She went to Tennessee with Miles to speak at a camp for kids. Sadly, the car had a problem, had to be towed back to Atlanta, and then she and Miles jumped in our other car and headed straight back out! Made a long day for her!

After my briefing I took them to CD Tower.

Then over to the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

Many team members followed the Whirlwind Missions tradition of kissing the frozen pig! I’m pretty sure he was smiling!


Always something interesting to see.

Had lunch with the Gateway team at Penang.

Then to check on the missions!

Came home to rest and work on admin duties. And edit video!

I liked this bumper sticker.

Rained last night. Got about 1/4″. Our power went out for about 30 minutes. That’s not zesty.

Edited the video for the Bridge Church!

Ashley and I did our “Take the Church, To the People” and “Logistics” briefings PLUS a briefing on Catholicism as it’s practiced in the International Village.

That’s because we had a new team from Colquitt County! FIVE churches near Moultrie in S. Georgia partnered together to bring a wonderful group.

We enjoyed Plaza Fiesta!

We had fun with the masks.

And hats!

And the horses!

Sparkly boots!

Pastor Ron lookin’ good!

There was even a camel!

And signs from Pancho Villa!

And some things too bizarre to understand.

I even got some new cologne. Eau de Toilette, actually. Never really liked that term. Always reminds me of the dog drinking out of the toilet. But I liked the smell!

And the name! Seems apropos.

Then on to the missions! Always fun to hang out with the teams.

Ash and I stopped by Office Depot to pick up some more card stock paper. We use them for response cards from our teams.

Feeling tired. Tomorrow starts another team! This one will be in the evening from 6-9pm. Makes for a long day! Pray for me!

Ashley and Miles are going to speak at a Youth Camp in Tennessee this weekend. They leave tomorrow morning and will be gone till Sunday night. They’ll be missed! Pray for their safe trip!

With the rain comes mushrooms! I love these tiny little shrooms.

I just read on the web that we had the hottest temperature ever recorded on the planet today! 121F in Marrakesh, Morocco. Yow! That’s hot even in the shade!

Our team from the Bridge worked with another ministry this morning, but we still had the team from Gateway! This has been a great team!

We enjoyed giving our briefings.

Then on to Al Madina. Sadly, no samosas to snack on. They had a gas problem in their kitchen. Abdul also told me that Ramadan starts this Friday. Didn’t realize that. It moves 10 days forward every year.

Also had an interesting time at the Shiv Mandir in Global Mall.

Then over to check on the kids at the missions. Last day for the Bridge team. They’ve been great too.

Gateway girls have rocked!

Need to edit video I shot this week.

We have a new team coming in tomorrow. Normally, teams start on Monday and go through Thursday. This week we have one team stopping on Wednesday and another starting on Thursday through Saturday.

PLUS we have a team working on Saturday and Monday through Thursday evenings! LOT of work going on right now for Jesus!

Powerful thunderstorms in the area!

This kid has style!

Here’s a short video with the new Drone!

Ashley and I always enjoy our briefings with the team. We shared about Buddhism today!

I like showing people new and unusual things.

Then over to CD Tower.

We ate lunch at Carneceria #1. Always fun and delicious quesadillas.

Then over to the missions! The best part of the day!

Home now for admin duties.

Summer is almost over. Just one more week of teams!

I liked these tiny mushrooms.

I thought the interview with Mark Edge and me turned out great! Check it out.
