Admin work now!

Just finished a radio interview with Mark Edge, one of the hosts of Free Talk Live. FTL is one of, if not the largest podcast on the internet. We had a great talk. He’s a fan of my show, so that always makes it easy. www.VerbalSurgery.com. If you haven’t listened to my podcasts, you’re really in for a treat.

I liked this sticker.

RUMC! Antiques!

Tim A. Cummins @ 4:49 pm  

This morning I went to Roswell to work with one of my favorite churches: Roswell United Methodist! They had a good team show up to the event at Frazier Street Apartments.

We got all set up to hand out Popsicles, some invitations to a new church plant and some tracts in Spanish.
d
Then it started to drizzle. A few minutes later it absolutely POURED down rain! Wow!
d

d
We stayed for about 20 minutes and I made the decision to reschedule. Even if it did clear up, no one would come outside, it was just too wet.
d
d

We had a good prayer time and then left to come again another day.

Went by the Roswell Street Antique store. It’s a favorite of mine. I think Roswell is a pretty cool city. I always see something different!

I love this quote by Marilyn Monroe.

I got a Phrenology skull and another chain for my necklace. Groovy!

Stopped briefly at the Roswell Cemetery. It has some old headstones there.
c
d
The oldest was 1890s. I thought some of them were beautiful.
s

I liked this mushroom.

Came home to work on admin duties.

Looking forward to spending some time with Ashley and Miles this evening. They’re having a little birthday party for me.

a

The kids really enjoyed that!

Had a good prayer time with the kids and team.
p
Then off to Perimeter Mall. I needed to get a couple more batteries for my AR Drone. You only get about 15 minutes of flight time out of them.
r
Also got a new hat!
h
The one I got from Walmart was merely a stop gap until I was able to look around and get something better. The brim on the other hat was whack.

Admin duties now.

Looking forward to an event with Roswell United Methodist Church tomorrow.

Then the teams come on Monday!

Tim A. Cummins @ 5:17 pm  

This morning I had fun! I recorded a new podcast! This one is excellent, in my humble opinion. Check out “Zero Hour” Savor every second and listen to this!

Jesse, Kathy and I went by to check on our team from FBC Mountain Park at Azalea. They’re doing a wonderful job there.

Home to work on admin duties.

Drove through heavy rain near Stone Mountain. We’ve had 3 3/4″ of rain in the last three days. Groovy!

I kind of feel this way.

Also went to a Chinese bookstore. I was looking for Chinese character dictionary. MAN! That looks like a hard language!

Enjoyed seeing some unusual objects there!

Never heard of this before?

This kind of grossed me out.
e

This doll kind of weirded me out.

Back to cover the teams at their locations. Always fun! The kids are such sweethearts!

It’s my birthday tomorrow and my birthday present arrived today! I might have mentioned that I got a AR Drone 2.0. It’s a quad copter (four propellors) that is controlled by your iPhone or iPad! How awesome is that!

It also has a hi def camera so you can shoot video! I think it’s going to be a LOT of fun!

Home now to work on admin duties and rest. And fly my chopper!

I liked this vanity plate.

Wonder if they could make a difference on my face?

CIBC! Fox BBQ! Rest!

Tim A. Cummins @ 5:22 pm  

Finished editing the video for the Bon Air Baptist Church team last night.
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfbMapJuk9s&feature=g-upl

Jesse and I went to church together. Kathy rode her bike to Clarkston. She’s an amazing woman!
f
Pastor Phil Kitchin preached on gentleness. That means power under control. I certainly need more of that!
p

We met up with Ashley and Miles at church. We all enjoyed eating Texas style BBQ at Fox Brothers in Decatur. It was really good. But I think that Crazy Ron’s in Stone Mountain still edged them out!
a
m
t

Came home to rest. Felt good!

Admin duties now. Prep work for the three teams in town next week.

I liked this sign.

And this moth!

I just noticed it’s laying eggs. Cool.
