This morning I took care of some errands. Did the grocery shopping. Somebody forgot this.

Walmart is already preparing for back to school!

went by the bank to authorize the new bank card for the ministry.

Got a board for the bed at Lowe’s. The mattress needed more support.

Came home to edit video for Bon Air BC. Got it edited and compressed. Working on burning a dvd now.

J and I went to see the Amazing Spiderman in 3d. We liked it! I thought it’s the best Spiderman ever! I also liked that there was a cameo of Stan Lee!

When I bought the tickets, the speaker was SUPER load. It literally hurt my ears to stand in front of it.

Working on admin duties now.

I liked this sign.

The sunlight through these clouds was amazing!

Kathy and I had a GREAT night last night! Jesse called us and said he was coming home! California is great, but having family around is great too!

He’s especially coming for my birthday next week and his cousin Katie’s wedding. We picked him up early this morning.

A great start with a beautiful sunrise!

Turned out to be a warm day!

I had fun recording a new podcast! “The Happy!” It’s one of my best! Check it out!

Kathy and I joined Ashley to check on the final day of our team from Bon Air BC, VA. This is has been one of my favorite teams this summer! Their church first worked with me back in 2000!

They’ll be missed.

Wonderful to hang out with both my girls!

Came home to rest and work on admin duties.

Also cleaned the fish tank.

Kathy and I enjoyed watching TV. We watched Killers with Ashton Kutcher, but didn’t really like it.

We do like this big corn at Huntington Creek.

Another warm day!

I enjoyed giving the team the briefing on Catholicism this morning. Ashley and I always have fun with that!

They seemed to enjoy it too!

Then over to Plaza Fiesta to experience that amazing Latino mall.

Who would wear these?

They should keep babies away from plastic.

I wonder what this smells like?

The Three Amigas!

I liked the boots!

Coyote standing watch!

Seems cheap for a whole country.

I liked this image.

I liked this skeleton dog.

Took care of mailing dvds to the youth directors we worked with last week.

Ashley and I developed the schedule for the three teams for next week and confirmed the locations with the apartment managers.

The team is doing a great job at the missions!

I was curious about her pie.

Never too much Ashley!

Came home to relax and do my admin duties.

I love this picture.

Rain yesterday! Amen!

Ashley and I were delighted to have Kathy and Miles along today!

We gave our briefing to the team from Bon Air. We shared about Islam and Hinduism.

Then led them to Al Madina to explore the N. African/Middle East flavor.

Global Mall was our next adventure with the Shiv Mandir.

The team was great with the kids at the missions.

Important to rest too!

Enjoyed having fun with my family!

I feel like this could be my motto.

Ashley and I did our usual bang up job with the briefings this morning.

Then took them to CD Tower where the Buddhist idols are.





Always interesting in the International Village.

Talk about a bad hair day.

Best part is the missions!

Judy, one of the group leaders, Ashley and I went to talk to Ken the manager of Panang Malaysian food. He worked out a great deal for them

We’re always shooting!

Admin duties now. Rest!

Hot again today!

Cute!

Doesn’t everyone need a Supernal Tortoise?

Antique cell phone!

I liked these drawings.

I liked this label. I’m Mr. Safe T.

Is that all?

Ashley and I had a fun time with the team from Bon Air Baptist Church, VA!


We always enjoy giving the briefing.

Then taking them to the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

It’s a tradition to kiss the frozen pig head.

Of course working at the missions is always the best part.

I liked these two sisters.

While at Cumberland Court apartments I saw two Guatemalan ladies chatting. I went over to say hi to them and realized they weren’t speaking Spanish. I introduced myself and asked them what language they were speaking. They said, “Moom.” They told me that it’s and Indian tribal language spoken in the mountains of Guatemala and that there were 24 different languages in Guatemala! I was astonished by this! That’s one reason I love my job. I always see and hear things that I’ve never seen or heard before!

The team enjoyed Mexican food at Pollo Norteno. Delicioso!

Came home to rest and work on admin duties.

Kathy and I watched “Win, Win.” It was pretty good. Had Paul Giamato in it.

K and I went to Clarkston International Bible Church this morning. She rode her bike there from Stone Mountain.

Pastor Phil preached on Self Restraint.

Never an easy sermon to hear.

He also preached on Road Rage. Saw this bumper sticker where we ate lunch.

It’s patriotic Sunday!



After church I enjoyed talking to Cathy and Andrei Palmer for a few minutes. She’s like a sister to me.

Went to Big Joy for lunch. I liked this carving there.

It’s still hot! Yow!

Rested some in the afternoon.

Going to a cook out for the Mitchell and Doverspike family. I’m always a Plus One at those gigs.

I thought the desserts were beautiful.


And these flowers.

Powerful clouds generated by a LOT of heat!

Ready for the next team coming tomorrow at 9:30am! Bon Air BC.

It was a red hot day in the big GA!

Temperatures just kept rising in the car.


YOW!

K and I watched some of Brave and MIB 3. We were a little too early for MIB3.

I liked them both ok. Neither was as good as I thought it was going to be.

Enjoying a nice rest day. Trying to keep cool. In the shade. Preferably with AC!

This morning I worked on editing the video for the Clements Baptist Church team.

It’s quite a process. First you have to edit the video. That includes doing all the graphics/titles. Then I lay a music background. Having a little music behind the video seems to really set the mood.

After the music I have to compress the file in order to upload it to YouTube. Over the years, I’ve been awarded a Director’s account. That means I can post video over 15 minutes long. The video I edited today was 27 minutes!

After uploading, I then burn a DVD for the church that I send to them by snail mail. It’s an even higher quality video that they can play at church. The YouTube video is also in HiDef!

I love this technology!

Kathy and I ate lunch at John Boy’s today. Great Southern cooking, by Koreans! I found this sign on the soap box interesting.

K and I watched a really cool Korean movie a couple of nights ago called “Castaway on the Moon.” It was a interesting piece. It’s available to stream on Netflix.

I have a spot on my arm that itches like poison ivy. That’s never zesty. ; (

Pray for Jesse as he’s looking for a place to stay in California. THANKS!

Did I mention it’s HOT? One really good reason to stay inside.

Got warm today. This is the hottest I’ve seen my car get so far this year.

Ashley and I had fun giving our last briefing to Clements BC this morning! We talked about folk Catholicism.

Then took them over to Plaza Fiesta! Always an assault on the senses!




Archangel Michael stomping out the devil.

I thought these wrestler masks were cool!

We see this a lot in Chamblee.

I liked this brain spray.

The team enjoyed eating Mexican food!

Enjoyed time with Ashley and Kathy!

We liked this big flip flop.

Then over to the missions to check on the kids.

Ashley and I shoot hundreds of pictures and videos of the teams.

Looking forward to a restful weekend. Glad to have a little break before the next team starts on Monday!

Working on admin duties now. Will start editing the video I shot, uploading and burning a dvd.

Ashley got a new phone cover at Plaza Fiesta. Muy groovy!

She’s my special sun flower!
