Happy 63rd Anniversary Mamaw and Papaw

 Hey Friends,

Happy Anniversary to Martha and Eugene, aka Mamaw and Papaw or Nana and Papa Great! We love you so much!

63 years ago, our branch of the Boggs family began. Carl Eugene Boggs married Martha Emma Isaacs on June 12 1963. 

Their love has weathered good days and bad. They have known sickness and health. Times when money was tight, and questions outweighed the answers. Through it all God is good to them! He is their sustaining grace!

Our Family union now includes 4 children and in-laws, 7 grandchildren and a few spouses, a few grandchildren waiting in Heaven and 7 great-grandchildren. Number 7 is due next month. We are all proud to be members of their family!

Thank God for His blessings and faithfulness. We all love Mamaw and Papaw! We are thankful for their love and influence on us all!

Mamaw and Papaw, my words are hollow, I and cannot fully express my sentiment to you. My heart  overflows with gratitude for your love and support. I pray you feel extra loved today. Happy Anniversary!!!

Here are some pics from my recent archives, and a few older ones with Dad. Thank you for reading!

2LT Lucas Osborn

 Hey Friends,

We are blessed with an incredible family! I love our family members. I am thankful for the tight bond we have. 

My first cousin tribe is awesome. God gave me great people to call mine. I have watched them all grow up. It is wonderful to know we have each other's backs. We can cry together and celebrate life’s milestones. 

Lucas James Osborn is the baby grandchild on the Boggs side. Now, he is a strong, handsome young man, but will always be my sweet baby cuz. We love our little Lukey! 🤣

Today, I am a proud big cuz. Last month, Luke completed more of his training for the Kentucky National Guard. We are so proud of his great accomplishment! Congratulations, 2LT Osborn. 

Uncle Jay and Aunt Theresa and Luke’s fiancée, Allison, were on hand for this graduation in Missouri. Aunt Theresa shared pics with us at home.

Friday evening, we met up with Luke for dinner. He was passing through Ohio for a day. It was wonderful to see him again. 

I miss him when he is away!  Now he is off to Kentucky for his next great adventure. Please pray for him, as he embarks on life!

Thank you for reading.

Henry and Penelope Welch Dedication

Hey Friends,

 

Earlier this year, DRPC was blessed with 2 new members. Phillip and Candace welcomed Henry and Penelope. The babies are miracles!

They made an extremely early arrival. We prayed long and hard for them. The Lord helped them defy the odds. Both babies have been fighters and won many battles. 

Their hospital stays were lengthy and a roller coaster ride of emotions. A while back, they came home, and we are so grateful.  Both of them are growing and adjusting to life. 

Candace is our cousin on the Boggs side. We watched Phillip grow up on our visits to California. Little did we know that they would meet and fall in love. It has been amazing to watch God bless them with these little miracles!

Sunday morning, Henry and Penelope were dedicated. Phillip’s family came from 3 different states. It was great to see our friends. Candace had several of her family members there, too. Those were also our family members, so it was good to be in service with them. 

Here are some pictures I have from the dedication. 

I can not wait to watch these little ones grow up. We are going to be buddies! They have no choice. 

Congratulations Candace and Phillip! We love your precious family!

Thank you for visiting with us.

Dodds Praise On The Porch Pics

 Hey Friends,

Firstly, I owe God a huge praise for answering prayers! The weather forecast yesterday had very high chances of rain during setup and church. 

We asked God to hold off the bad weather. He did it! We were able to have outside service as planned. We are so thankful! The temperature was hot and the humidity high. We sweated out and survived. 

The Lord met us during the service. He rewarded our worship with His sweet presence. Thank you, Jesus!

The amazing Luke Hauri joined us on vocals. He is incredible! We are honored that he will sing with us! It was special to have him sing with us, because he also has family ties at Dodds. 

Bro. Carmin Dotry played drums for us. My adopted big Bro. is always ready to assist us! Thank you so much, Carmin!

My cousin Victor Boggs played bass. He is extremely talented! It was fun having him jam with us. Love you, VBoy!

 

Bro. Aaron and Sis. Candace Berger helped us with the sound equipment and running it for us. They were a huge blessing to us!

Below are a handful of pictures from the evening. These came from a few different ladies. Thanks for sending me your pictures. 

See you all tomorrow!
