Worked on my newsletters this morning. Every February edition I send with the newsletter a page that asks “Stay on the Team.” If I don’t hear back from them, they drop of the list. Saves time and money.

My friend Al Johnson came by to fix our furnace.

It can get mighty cold! The ignitor was broken. Al is a great guy who worked with me on my first major mission construction project back in 1999! Give him a call if you have heating or air conditioning problems.

He stressed the importance of changing the filters. Got more!

Also got a new binder for the hard copy of the newsletters while I was at Walmart.

Kathy and I took our bikes to the bike doctor. My rear wheel has a major bend in it.

They told me it wouldn’t be a problem to fix. I’m pulling for them!

Over to the mission to work with the kids. Always fun!

It was good to see Abraham and his big brother Andreas today. I remember when Andreas was the size of his little brother. I’ve always liked him.

Thanks to Suburban Rentals I have enough chairs at my mission. I told the boys to take several up to the laundrimat for the residents to sit on while they waited.

K and I ate a Mohosana’s home this evening. It was fun to see the family again.

She’s actually fasting during the day. She missed some days during Ramadan because of an illness. She’s making up for those missed days.

Here’s her calendar that tells her when she can start eating.

Rainy day here in the ATL. Made driving home slow.

Admin duties.

Stomach is not digging the Bengali food right now. Bahd luck.

This morning I finished my newsletter and sent it to my friend Joel Harrison with the Atlanta Metro Baptist Association. They printed the newsletter in color.

I think it looks amazing!

Went to help the kids at the mission.

Didn’t have any helpers today. I don’t get worried about it. We always get through it! I actually left the mission at 6:15pm! Normally we get out of there around 7pm and that’s with 2-3 extra helpers.

Beautiful evening. Mild.

I saw this car this afternoon. Looks like the future!

Not an easy word to spell!

Got to eat lunch with my brother David Doverspike today. Always great to see him and his sweet wife Debi!

We met up with Al Gilbert from the North American Mission Board. Extremely likable guy. Really enjoyed talking with him.

Got stamps for the labeling project for our newsletters.

Went over to the Atlanta Baptist Association to drop off some paper for them to copy our newsletter on.

Kids helped me with the labels.

I got them doughnuts for helping. I didn’t buy the kind that has “everything” in it. Not sure that’s a good idea.

Then on to homework!

The ESL classes are going GREAT! Mothers seem to really enjoy the classes.

Have you noticed I like sunsets?

Are you smarter than a preschooler?

Sure had a lot of rain this weekend. Over 2 1/2″!

Fed the birds this morning. I smear the suet on the side of the tree.

Lots of seeds!

Did some reading. I’m especially enjoying Guy Kawasaki’s book “Enchantment.” I read a lot of marketing books.

Met up with Ash and Miles. Went to the mission to help the kids.

This is Johan’s mustache disguise.

Which one is different? 1/4, 1/5, 1/3.

Crazy question.

I liked this. Can you tell what it does?

Foggy tonight.

Got up early Thursday morning to get Jesse to the airport around 4:30am!

Pretty empty there.

He’s off to California for a trip!

Kathy and I enjoyed a nice weekend together.

We stopped at Dwarf House along the way.

We did a lot of hiking around Tallulah Gorge. We had fun even though the weather was kind of dreary.



What a magnificent place!

How did I do this?

GREAT to be home!

With cheap enhancers!

And wispy clouds!

Rained about a half inch yesterday.

Worked on a new podcast this morning! “Get UP!” It’s one of my best efforts!

Check it out! Give it one minute and you’ll be hooked!

Enjoyed lunch with Kathy and Jesse!

He’s headed out for California tomorrow morning. We always enjoy our time with him!

Went over to the mission to help the kids with their homework.

Had a nice chat with one of my best friends from Baylor this afternoon. Always good to keep in touch with folks!

Delivered the financial report to our treasurer. THANKS again to Ashley for helping with that duty!

Home now to work on admin duties and relax.

I’ll be waking up at 3am to take Jesse over to Hartsfield for his flight to San Diego tomorrow morning. Early!

Kathy and I plan on going up to N. Georgia tomorrow for a few days. T/K weekends rock!

I liked Giselle’s picture.

And these sunset pix!

Had a fun day with my partners Rob Martin and John Ball.

Also great to have Pastor Bill Kelly with us!

Always fun to have Jesse around!

I showed them around the property at FBC Doraville.

We’re planning on hosting about 100 people there. We took a look at SS Class rooms and how many people could sleep there.

Enjoyed going to the book store with Jesse.

Then over to the mission to help the kids. Always wonderful to see Ashley and Miles!

We started English as Second Language classes this evening. Glad to be able to start that.

Admin duties now.

Enjoying a restful day!

Edited the video of Jesse skydiving. It’s processing as I write this. It’s on frame 28,278 right now.

Had lunch with Jesse, Ashley and Miles. ALWAYS great to see them!

Creative writing and posting to my twitter feed. I post 5 one liners every day. Adds up over time. There are more than 6,000 on line.

Spent some time looking through my car for Kathy’s phone. Happily she found it in her van. We all need comms!

Kathy rode back to Clarkston today! She’s an amazing woman. I thought that 11 miles was pretty long yesterday.

Admin duties now.

Jesse, Kathy and I went to Clarkston International Bible Church this morning.




Music was excellent!

Always great to hear Pastor Phil!

Ate lunch with Jesse, then K and I biked from Clarkston back to our house in Lilburn.

That was a ride!


Such a beautiful trail.

And Stone Mountain! Beauty!

I don’t think they should let these guys drive.

Enjoyed watching TV with K this evening.

Admin duties.

I liked this little box I found.

And these twisty vines.

I like lichens.

Our family had fun today watching Jesse jump out of an airplane!

It was interesting learning how to skydive.

J wasn’t scared at all, that I could tell!

A lot of military personnel train at the Thomaston airport. I thought their stickers were cool.

And for Mom!

A lot of equipment to put on.

Proof!

I’ll post the video I shot soon.

We ate lunch in Barnesville on the way home.

I thought it was a beautiful little town with lots of interesting old buildings.

I liked this sign.

Don’t think I’d walk out on this.

Enjoying a restful evening!
