Visiting The Montana Metzgers

 Hey Friends,

We have made friends with many people who have become our road family during our travels. Memorial Day weekend in 2005, we visited Montana for the first time. 

On Sunday, we went to Sun Valley Church. Pastor Mike Metzger and family welcomed us with open arms.   A fast friendship was formed between our families. I believe our friendship was God ordained!

Through the years, we have returned to Montana many times. We have loved spending time with the incredible Metzger family. We now think of them as family. 

We have experienced a lot of life together. We have watched their family grow to include in-laws and grandchildren. I am proudly an adopted Metzger sibling and Auntie.😁

Due to life happening, we have not visited in several years. We have missed our Montana family desperately. Thankfully, our bond with the Metzgers has withstood time, miles, separation and life!

Mom and I had to see them on this trip to Montana! A Metzger stop was a must for us!

We were able to spend some time with some of the crew on Saturday. On Sunday, we attended both church services at Sun Valley Church. Bro. Mike and Sis. Debbie invited us to their home for a delicious dinner!

It was incredible to catch up with all of the Metzgers again. It was just what we needed. 

All too soon, it was time for lots of hugs and see-you-laters. It is too hard to say goodbye to this special family.

The Metzgers are amazing! We are blessed to have them in our road family! I thank God for bringing our families together 21 years ago. 

Here are pictures from our 2026 Montana Metzger visit. See you tomorrow.

 Hey Friends,

America’s huge birthday is tomorrow. For our house, today is an enormous day to celebrate. 

Kelly Jo, my beautiful Mama, entered this world on July 3rd, 1968. She changed our portion of the world on that very day. 

Our family and ministry unit would not be what it is today without you,  Kelly Jo Boggs. She is a superhero, and influence for good to many people. 

Thanks for being so incredibly awesome. I love you to the moon and back. I am blessed to hang out in your world!

Here is your birthday card. I hope you feel loved and cherished today and every day! Because you are the beast! 🤣 Happy Birthday!!

Friday Eastern Indiana Pics

Hey Friends,

Friday was a fantastic end to the Eastern Indiana Fellowship Campmeeting 2026. All week, the messages were excellent. God encouraged souls and reached for the lost. The altar services were very good. 

Last night was amazing. God moved and touched many people. Wave after wave of Glory swept through the tabernacle. It was Heavenly! Vesper service was rolled into the main service, and we never stopped.

Thanks to Bro. Jeff Hensley and the board for inviting Mom to play in the band. Also, thank you for allowing me to tag along with her! We appreciate your hospitality and friendship!

Here are my pics from Friday. I will try to post my notes from the services on Monday.
