Post Number 6,000

 Hey Friends,

This website, boggsblogs.com, went live on the web on November 7th, 2009. Next Saturday will be 17 years. 

Happy Birthday, Boggs Blogs! This website has become a major part of our lives. I am thankful for this digital scrapbook of memories!

This is a screenshot of the original post from my Dad’s pen. We used it to update friends and family during our 2009 trip to Nigeria.  We could only post one picture at a time using email while on wif. 

Dad continue to use the blog for updates after the trip.  Mike Markers was our road updates. At some point Dad started posting regularly, as our phone signal and wifi allowed. 

The last several years he was daily blogging. I helped him with some of the post. Now for 2 years I have tried to keep it up. I have only missed a couple days. The archives can be found listed on the side of the desktop version of the website. 

Today, is a special blog milestone  6,000 blog post are live. Thank you for coming on this crazy adventure with us. Many of you are faithful readers. We appreciate your support and interest in our world. 

See you tomorrow for number 6,001.

The Gospel Tent Is Up In Florida

 Hey Friends, 

Bro. Scott Morris is in Florida with the Blue and White Gospel Tent. He is preaching revival for his friends this week.

He sent us a few pictures yesterday. We are happy to know people will be hearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ this week. Bro. Scott is carrying on with Dad's burden. 

Please join us in praying for Bro. Scott Morris and those involved in the revival. Pray also for lost souls to find Christ!

Check back later; I will try to get exact information about the revival. I will post it at the top of this post.

One more thing, today is my Aunt Karen Boggs' birthday. Happy Birthday, Karen! We love you so much! 

Thank you for being a vital part of the BFM team. Your help with the ministry is very much appreciated!

Saturday Smiles 10/24/26

 Hey Friends,

I hope you are having a great day. We are still in Oklahoma. 

Tomorrow, we are excited to be in Moore, Oklahoma, for church in both Sunday services. It will be great to see our friends at Crosslight Chapel again!

Last night we had dinner with Bruce and Priscilla Mayhan! We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious pizza! We had to have Bakers Pizza in Maysville!

It is always great to spend time with our friends. They are a bundle of fun. We are always planning and dreaming of the next adventure, while enjoying the here and now. This time we get to see them on their home turf. 😁

Here are a few pictures from our dinner with the Mayhans! 

Thank you Bruce and Cilla for being our friends! We love you both dearly!

Friends That Are Family

 Hey Friends,

We are blessed abundantly in the friendship department. Our family does not take that blessing lightly. We thank God daily for connecting us with so many wonderful people!

Bro. Larry and Sis. Rosemary Landress and Bro. Bruce and Sis. Priscilla Mayhan are some of the cream of the crop. They have been with us through thick and thin! We love them dearly, along with their children and grandchildren. The Landress family now includes great-grandchildren. 

These amazing people are not just friends; they are part of our family! We are loving getting to visit with them!

Tuesday, we had lunch with Jeromy and Renae Landress. Yesterday, we got to see Zack Mayhan for a bit.

Here are some people and food pics from this week. I know there will be more pics later too.

Lauren And Los Cabos Lunch

 Hey Friends,

Before we hit the road on Monday, we had one more stop in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. We had to visit their Los Cabos location! 

 

Several years ago, we connected with a special lady who is a server at the BA Los Cabos. Lauren is a jewel! Since then, whenever we were in the area, we tried to visit when we thought she might be working. We love Lauren!

The last time that we saw her was October 14 2024, my 39th birthday. My parents took me out to dinner! Lauren made sure we celebrated well! It was an extra special birthday dinner! 

Little did we know what was happening in November. This was one of the final meals out that the 3 of us had together.  I will cherish it forever!

We were not able to make it to Los Cabos last year. I was determined to go back there this time. Thankfully, Lauren was working on Monday. We got to see our friend again after 2 years!

By the way, Happy Birthday to Lauren. She celebrates one this month too! Thanks for being such an awesome friend. See you next time!

It was also a pleasure to share the lunch with Bro. Trever and Sis. Lori Metheny. As well as Dr. Phil, Sis. Deidra and Bro. Colton Deane! The food was phenomenal! The fellowship with such precious people was incredible!

Los Cabos in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma is highly recommended!! We can not wait to go back.

Bethany Fellowship Meeting 2026 Pics

 Hey Friends,

This year's Fellowship Meeting at Bethany Church is history. The Lord blessed and helped in every service. It was wonderful to be a part of the meeting this year. 

There was a last minute night speaker change. Bro. Neal Bridges, Bro. Phillip Deane and Bro. Edsel Young preached the nights. Several other preachers ministered in the other services on Saturday and Sunday. 

We love Pastor Toliver and the fine people at Bethany. They always lovingly welcome us and treat us so kindly. We are honored to be with them for their meeting. It is a highlight of our year!

Bro. Colton Deane helped us out singing. We are blessed to have his help singing. It is always wonderful to work with him!

I will close with pics from this year’s meeting.
