We used to work together a lot in Clarkston.  Several years ago he decided to go back into the business world and uses his sales job as a missionary!  Lord knows we need lots of missionaries working with businessmen!  It was great to catch up with him and see how he&#8217;s doing.  He&#8217;s still involved with missions with our refugee families in Clarkston.<\/p>\n<p>Jesse was really tired today.  Sometimes he doesn&#8217;t sleep very well and then he&#8217;s so tired during the day.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/photos\/288262312_HhGiH-M.jpg\" alt=\"j\" \/><br \/>\nI blew up my air mattress for him that I keep at my office at FBC Doraville.  Lots of times I have to use it when I&#8217;m too tired to go on!  Thirty minutes can make all the difference before facing those wild kids at the mission!<\/p>\n<p>Ashley got a new phone today.  Her old one still worked.  Barely.  It had definitely taken more than a few falls.  It&#8217;s one of those new Iphones from Apple.  It&#8217;s a slick machine! She has a case for it, but I think she may need one that also protects the touch screen.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/photos\/288262595_irDSM-M.jpg\" alt=\"a\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/photos\/288262420_8pmZa-M.jpg\" alt=\"at\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We went by to talk to Jesse&#8217;s psychiatrist this afternoon.  I wanted his opinion on him being so tired.  He&#8217;ll probably have to adjust some of the medicine dosages.  We also needed the doctor to send our other doctor all the medical forms.<\/p>\n<p>Got to spend a few minutes at the book store.  I picked up a copy of &#8220;Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.&#8221;  I&#8217;m looking forward to learning new skills!<\/p>\n<p>Also enjoying reading &#8220;A Whole New Mind&#8221; by Daniel Pink.  It&#8217;s also about using your creative mind, which tends to be in the right hemisphere of the brain.  One section is called Stories.  It&#8217;s made me want to archive my favorite stories from my 50 years of life on this planet!  (Fifty on July 12th!)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be putting them in video form, one story at a time on our web site.  They&#8217;ll all be short  5-7 minutes.  Here are some of the titles:  &#8220;Chased by a Baby Elephant,&#8221;  &#8220;Spitting Cobras&#8221;  &#8220;Attacked by Pythons&#8221;.   Did you know I used to work at the Snake Park in Nairobi?<\/p>\n<p>This evening we ate at the Lamb&#8217;s house and then went to watch FBC Mountain Park play softball.  Kevin Lamb made a spectacular play sliding into home plate to score.  He also hurt his hand and forearm crashing into the plate.  Pray for Kevin!<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/photos\/288265070_QwyZy-M.jpg\" alt=\"k\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/photos\/288266157_PHkH7-M.jpg\" alt=\"softball\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I really appreciate you reading this blog!   I did some research on our web site last night. We average nearly 7,000 hits a DAY.
