Sunday Sanity 8/17/25

 Hey Friends,

Happy Sunday! I hope you can spend at least part of your Sunday in the house of God!  I love to start the week by praising our Savior with my brothers and sisters in Christ!

Sunday sanity this week comes from Reverend David Noe. Bro. Noe has an excellent way of putting things into perspective that makes me think! I have been mauling this statement over the whole weekend!

“Fear is faith in the enemy”!

Bro. David Noe 

Danville, Kentucky 

 

Fear can destroy us! Lord, please cast out every ounce of unhealthy fear in my life. I do not to allow The enemy any power over my life! God alone is my hope and salvation! In him alone will I trust! 

Thank you for reading!

A Week Seeing Friends At DRPC

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for stopping by! I hope your weekend is off to a great start! Tonight, we are off to Hillsboro for a birthday party. The rest of the weekend is shaping up to be full of activities.

I am here today to tell you a little bit about our week. It has been busy but great!

On Tuesday night at church, it was wonderful to see Bro. Levi and Sis. Taylor Webb Hackworth are a wonderful young couple! It was so good to see them!

Thursday night we were excited to be in service with Bro. David and Sis. Karen Noe! They have been dear friends to our family for most of my life! 

They have honestly been more family to us than friends over the years! We have laughed together, we have cried together, we have worship together and more of the same! The Noe family have always been in our corner! we love them so much!

Bro. David was one of Dad's personal encouragers!  Bro. David has had his own health struggles and recent years! We all prayed for our dear friend! I can say Dad honestly prayed earnestly that our friend would get a kidney. He rejoiced so much when that prayer was answered! Bro. David got a good report on his new kidney this week!

Watching Bro. David Noe preach last night, I could not help but think of my Daddy! He would have been thrilled to see a miracle in action! Bro. David was preaching under the one of God! It was incredible to see!

We had one more big surprise last night! We had Oklahoma visitors at DRPC. Bro. Denny and Sis. Nancy Haddox stopped by. It was great to have our Claremore friends and church with us!

There you have just a peek into our week at our church. 

Wednesday night we visited at church here locally. I will tell you more about that tomorrow!

Celebrating Multiple Birthdays

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for joining us today! It is a busy birthday season around here! I told you yesterday that it was my Mamaw Martha Boggs' birthday. 

Click here if you missed Mamaw’s 2025 birthday post. We had a birthday breakfast yesterday to celebrate her birthday. Thanks to Uncle Jay and Aunt Theresa Osborn for inviting me to tag along with them.

We visited a new place to me, The Breakfast Club, in downtown Lebanon. It was really good! I highly recommend! I have noticed the restaurant a few times, and wondered about it. The restaurant has been there since 1993, but I had never been there. It is only open for breakfast and lunch.

Are you ready for more celebrating?July 31 is the birthday of two very special ladies!

Our First Lady of DRPC, Sis. Jane Sutherland turns 81 today! she is a saint of a lady! It is a privilege to have had her in my life! Her prayers and love have helped so many people! We are blessed to have her in our lives!

Our church celebrated her with a special service on Sunday morning. Then with a dinner following the service. We all dearly love, Sister Jane!

Here are pictures that I snapped Sunday. 

My Great Aunt Connie Miller is 80 years old today! Happy birthday, Aunt Connie, we love you!

Connie is the mother to my cousins Deb, Lisa, Delmar and Geneva. She is a precious lady!

Saturday afternoon I joined several family members and friends to clebrate this wonderful 80th birthday milestone! We had a great time honoring Aunt Connie! 

Here are the pictures from of the birthday party at Marion's Pizza. I took most of these pictures. My Aunt Patty Boggs took a few!

I hope and pray that all three of these lovely ladies had wonderful birthdays! it was a privilege to be there for their celebrations!

Thank you for reading! I will see you all tomorrow!

The Alabama Isaacs Visit DRPC

 Hey Friends,

I am so glad you came to visit today. I hope you had an excellent weekend. There was a lot of activity. I will spread them over a few posts. 

Sunday morning at Dryden Road Pentecostal Church, I was surprised to have several visitors! One family in particular is extra special to me!

Bro Jon, Sis. Heidi and Anna Kate Isaacs were passing through Ohio. They chose to bless us with their presence at DRPC yesterday!

We love their family immensely. They have been special friends to us for a long time, and it is always great to be with them!

Bro. Jon preached a fantastic message last night. We had an excellent altar service, which was a great blessing to all of us!

I was thrilled to see my dear friends, whom we have considered family for years! 

Thank God for sending the Isaacs to visit DRPC! Their visit made my day, and it was what my heart needed yesterday!

I will close with some pictures I took yesterday. Thank you for reading.

Celebrating Miss Myla Alexander

 Hey Friends,

It is great to see you here for a moment! Thank you for choosing to spend part of your day with us. 

A few weeks ago, I was blessed to attend the birthday party of one of the sweetest young ladies. I cannot believe Miss Myla Alexander is 16 years old! How in the world is that even possible?

It seems like only 10 years ago that we celebrated her arrival to this earth! She was an a miracle and an answer to prayer!

Now she is a beautiful young lady with a heart devoted to God! She is a prayer warrior! I am so proud of her. It melts my heart when I feel her praying with me at church!

I should not be shocked that Myla is an amazing girl; her parents are just totally awesome! 

Michael and Amanda Alexander are two of the most incredible people I have ever met! mom and I are blessed to have them in our circle friends that we count as family!

I have to mention Princess Everly! She is my little bestie who is always energetic and brings life to every party!

Michael and I were blessed to grow up together at DRPC and as fellow preacher's kids. I am so proud of him and his family! God blessed him with an amazing wife! I love Amanda so much! She has been a huge blessing to our church and to me personally!

I hope you are ready for a picture overload! It was a great honor to be there to celebrate her big 16th milestone with her! 

Myla, I love you so much! Thank you for being so awesome! I am so glad that I get to call you, my friend!

Here is a collection of photos from the evening. Some of them came from my phone and other people. It really was a great 16th birthday party.

Thanks for reading!
