I&#8217;d heard about this Twitter stuff and decided to try it out as an experiment in Web 2.0.<\/p>\n<p>This evening, I have 66,536  followers.  Sounds like a lot, eh?  I&#8217;m in the top 2,000 Twitter users out of about 4.5 million.  I have fun being creative and coming up with 8 new proverbs a day.  I actually write about 50 at a time and use a web app that posts them for me at regular intervals.<\/p>\n<p>I started keeping a regular blog in 2004.  I&#8217;m so glad that YOU are reading this!<\/p>\n<p>This morning I fed my birds and checked on the little water fountain I have in my back yard.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/Something-Different\/Plants-at-Lowes\/IMG0358\/800553017_FxVyw-S.jpg\" alt=\"p\" \/><\/p>\n<p> The plastic connector that the hose fits on broke off.  Bahd luck.  Had to go to Home Depot to pick up another one.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed looking at the flowers while we were there.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/Something-Different\/Plants-at-Lowes\/IMG0355\/800552733_YFrMR-S.jpg\" alt=\"c\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/Something-Different\/Plants-at-Lowes\/IMG0354\/800552647_5KEXR-S.jpg\" alt=\"v\" \/><\/p>\n<p>J and I went to Clarkston to help the kids at Willow Branch learn guitar.  I&#8217;m teaching Aziz how to read music.  It&#8217;s a hard job and takes a LOT of patience.  Jesse is teaching three girls how to play. Cool.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I got up about 5am to work on a project for FBC Mountain Park.  I got a word from the Lord about helping them with a scripture memory program that Richard King mentioned during the service yesterday.  I had 1,000 business cards made with Romans 8:28 on it along with a prayer.  &#8220;And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him who have been called according to his purpose.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Father told me that people are willing to memorize scripture, but they have to be reminded to do it.  A little card on the mirror is all that it will take.<\/p>\n<p>K and I enjoyed watching American Pickers, one of my new favorite shows.  These two guys go around old barns and find cool stuff and meet really unusual people.  Fun.<\/p>\n<p>She rode over 12 miles today on her bike to Stone Mountain and back to our house.
