Recording Preparation

 Hey Friends,

Here is just a tiny peek into our recording preparation this weekend.

We have recorded several projects over the years. The last one we did as a trio was in 2013. We hoped to do another one, but life kept getting in the way.

Ben Isaacs has been encouraging us to record an album since December. When he started talking to us about doing one with the two of us, I did not know if we could do it. 

We had not even sung one song in public since Dad had passed away. We did not feel ready to cross that bridge yet! Several people encouraged us not to let our song die!

At our pastor's leading, we soon began singing at church. The first few times were extremely difficult, and I still have moments where I struggle! The God we sing about, the messages and the songs have not changed!

Ben has been persistent and stayed on us. He encouraged us to get our songs together for a project.  We sent him our list of songs to him last month.

All of the pieces began to fall into place quickly last week. Less than a week later, we are headed to Ben’s studio today and tomorrow. Hopefully, we will get all of our parts done with music and vocals on the project.

We love Ben Isaacs! He is our favorite producer, and we are honored that he would want to work with us! 

Today will be dedicated to music. Tomorrow, we will focus on vocals. Please oh please keep us in your prayers! We desire anointing and God’s strength!

We are excited and scared to death, all at the same time! I know there will be some moments that it will be hard to keep our emotions in check, as well. We will definitely miss Dad Immensely!

We are still trying to figure out our sound now. There is something massive missing! We know it definitely does not sound the same! 

Music has played a large part in my healing journey, through the grief! Many of the songs that we have chosen for this album have helped us, along with many more! We hope and pray that the songs encourage someone else along the way!

I will do my best to share photos from our time in the studio later. We will also share details on the project, as they become available!

The Blue And White Gospel Tent Lives On

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for stopping by to see us today. Yesterday was a monumental day for us. I am here to tell you about it. 

Our evening included a visit to Alcapulco with family! The food and fellowship were both excellent!

Tent revivals have been a large part of our ministry for years. It was Dad's passion to reach for those that would not come inside the four walls of the church. I love experiencing God anointing Dad in a special way during tent revivals. Some of our best services were under the tent!

Dad purchased the Blue and White Gospel Tent in 2012. We traveled thousands of miles, visited dozens of cities, and had hundreds of services under the Blue and White Gospel Tent. The memories are endless. 

Dad was dedicated to the tent revivals. He spent every ounce of physical and mental strength he could muster. He gave his blood, sweat and tears every time. 

There is one pastor and church that we worked with every year in tent revival. Pastor Scott Morris and Richton First Assembly we're having yearly tent revival's before we met them. They were very instrumental in our tent revival ministry!

My Dad always said if something happened to him, he wanted the tent to go to Pastor Scott Morris and Richton First Assembly. We have been trying to get it transferred over to them. 

Bro. Scott and Sis. Kim Morris were close enough to come get the tent yesterday. They rented a UHaul to hall everything back to Mississippi. 

Thanks to several family members who came to help us get it loaded. It took lots of heavy lifting. Mom and I are thankful for the help!

Here are pictures I captured last night. Also, Uncle Tommy snapped a few of these. 

Mom and I are thrilled to see the Blue and White Gospel Tent Live on! Bro. Scott Morris is planning a special memorial tent revival to honor Dad. 

We plan on attending the revival this fall. You all are invited too. It should be in mid September. I will announce the details, once the plans are worked out. 

See you later!

Announcement For Our Friends

Hey Friends,

Thank you for stopping by to visit with us today. I hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday!

We know that many of you miss the weekly Word For Wednesday devotions Dad published for a few years. Mom and I miss them too! Thankfully, they are all archived on our YouTube channel! 

Several people have told me they have gone back to watch past episodes of Dad's devotions. If you are new here, I encourage you to check them out. Click here to visit our YouTube channel.

I want to share a very special devotional series with you by our friend, Pastor Brent Gabbard! Voices From The Valley is now available on YouTube!

Pastor Brent Gabbard of Bible Holiness Church in Elkton, Virginia, has shared a Tuesday devotional with the BHC church family for many years. Along the way, he started sharing it with close friends as well.

Our family has loved his weekly devotionals! Dad stronly encouraged Bro Brent to let the BHC digital media team post the devotions on their YouTube channel. Dad wanted others to hear the encouraging and challenging devotional series from our dear friend!

A few days ago Bro. Brent let us know he had made the decision to make the devotions public on YouTube. His decision came from the suggestion of the great BHC digital media team, and also to honor our Dad’s wishes!

Mom and I were thrilled! We were so happy, and we knew Dad would have been ecstatic! 

Bro. Brent thank you most of all for being an exceptional friend of my Daddy! Also, thank you for honoring him!

Two new videos were released yesterday on the BHC YouTube channel here. Episode zero is , here. It is an introduction to Voices From The Valley. There Bro. Bent tells about the history and vision of the weekly series. 

He gave Dad a wonderful shout out! When Mom and I watched the introduction, we were crying tears of happiness!

Episode one was also released yesterday. That is this week's devotion. You can find it by clicking here. 

I am only posting links to the episodes and BHC’s channel, because I want you to go directly there. A new episode will be posted every Tuesday. don't forget to subscribe to their channel.

I highly recommend Voices From The Valley! I believe it will bless and help you, as it does me! Please let them know that you came from Boggs Family Ministries!

I will close with this little reminder, Mom and I posted a new song to our YouTube channel this week. Thank you for the great feedback!

Thanks again for reading! I will see you tomorrow.
