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!

Dodds Praise On The Porch Reminder

 Hey Friends,

Tomorrow evening is the next Praise On The Porch at Dodds Pentecostal Church. The service begins at 6:00 PM. The church is located at 

3157 Old State Rt 122

Waynesville, Ohio.

We do have a very special guest joining us on Sunday. Bro. Luke Hauri will be singing with us. He is incredibly talented! He did a Christmas service with us in December. Mom and I are both excited to sing with him again. 

We are excited about this service! I am praying that God blesses us in a special way and helps our family, friends and neighborhood. 

Hopefully, the weather will be nice! The forecast has some rain for Sunday. If it does rain, we will be inside the church. 

We are looking forward to being in church tomorrow with Pastor Jay, Sis. Theresa Osborn and the congregation. You are invited to join us for this special night of worship! 

Thank you for reading.

Congratulations Reese Lamb Class of 2026

 Hey Friends,

Yesterday, we stopped by a special graduation party. Reese Lamb is a member of the class of 2026. It was great to celebrate her major accomplishment with her!

We are so proud of Reese! She is a precious young lady. We have watched her grow up. She has always been a fun girl. We love spending time with her!

Now, Reese is beautiful young lady with a heart for God! She is a walking miracle, and we are still praising God!

Graduating is an amazing milestone for Reese. I am excited to see what God has in store for this lovely lady! Reese, we love you dearly, and you are in our prayers!

Last night I went through some of my Reese photo memories. I have lots of them through the years. I found some gems to share with you. 

Thank you for reading.

Then And Now- Kolby And Ella Blaire

 Hey Friends,

Great to see you today. I love the memories of that pop up on my phone. They often trigger long scrolls down memory lane. 

Tuesday, I introduced our newest family member. You can read all about her arrival HERE.  We are still enamored with the precious princess!

My phone reminded me late last night of when I first met Ella Blaire’s big brother. Kolby Lee turned 2 on April 30th. 

I first met him in person two years ago today. Here is a picture from, June 4th 2024. 

He was just over a month old in that photo. Now he is a handsome bundle of energy! Mr. Kolby Lee has brought so much joy into our lives! We love him!

Almost 2 years to the day I met Miss Ella Blair. A lot happens in two years! We have lots of blessings to thank God for!

On June 4th 2026, Kolby is trying to get used to his new job as Big Brother, but I know he will be great at it! He will be an awesome bodyguard for his Little Sister!

We will have to revisit this day in two years and see the progressions at that time. 

See you tomorrow!
