Family Anniversaries And Food

Hey Friends,

Thank God we made it safely home last night! We are always so thankful for His protection. God is so good!

We were not in any hurry yesterday, so we could take it easy in the morning. After spending two long days in the studio recording, it was a reward day!

Our travel day was smooth! We were craving a good steak dinner to cap off our trip. Several of our family members were already planning to meet up at Longhorn. They invited us to join them, and we gladly accepted! That was the perfect way to end our day!

Yesterday was Mamaw and Papaw's 62nd wedding anniversary. Today is Jay and Theresa’s 33rd wedding anniversary! Happy Anniversary to both lovely couples.

We were celebrating their marriage milestones with an excellent meal and great family time! It was a precious evening!

I can never stress enough how much I love my family! I am so blessed and thankful that God gave me a wonderful family! I love all of them so much!

Now we are home and gearing up for the next adventure that starts soon! Here are a few pictures from last night's dinner.

I will see you all next time!

The Blue And White Gospel Tent Lives On

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for stopping by to see us today. Yesterday was a monumental day for us. I am here to tell you about it. 

Our evening included a visit to Alcapulco with family! The food and fellowship were both excellent!

Tent revivals have been a large part of our ministry for years. It was Dad's passion to reach for those that would not come inside the four walls of the church. I love experiencing God anointing Dad in a special way during tent revivals. Some of our best services were under the tent!

Dad purchased the Blue and White Gospel Tent in 2012. We traveled thousands of miles, visited dozens of cities, and had hundreds of services under the Blue and White Gospel Tent. The memories are endless. 

Dad was dedicated to the tent revivals. He spent every ounce of physical and mental strength he could muster. He gave his blood, sweat and tears every time. 

There is one pastor and church that we worked with every year in tent revival. Pastor Scott Morris and Richton First Assembly we're having yearly tent revival's before we met them. They were very instrumental in our tent revival ministry!

My Dad always said if something happened to him, he wanted the tent to go to Pastor Scott Morris and Richton First Assembly. We have been trying to get it transferred over to them. 

Bro. Scott and Sis. Kim Morris were close enough to come get the tent yesterday. They rented a UHaul to hall everything back to Mississippi. 

Thanks to several family members who came to help us get it loaded. It took lots of heavy lifting. Mom and I are thankful for the help!

Here are pictures I captured last night. Also, Uncle Tommy snapped a few of these. 

Mom and I are thrilled to see the Blue and White Gospel Tent Live on! Bro. Scott Morris is planning a special memorial tent revival to honor Dad. 

We plan on attending the revival this fall. You all are invited too. It should be in mid September. I will announce the details, once the plans are worked out. 

See you later!

Happy 82 Birthday Papaw Eugene!

Hey Friends,

Happy Birthday, Papaw! We love you!

Eighty-two years ago today, in Kentucky, a baby boy was born. Martin and Edna Boggs were blessed with another addition to their family. They named him Carl Eugene.

He grew up to become a wonderful man! He served his country in the Navy. Married his beautiful sweetheart, in June 1963, Martha Emma Isaacs Boggs. 

Eugene has been a devoted family man. He provided well for his family. Soon he and Martha will be married for 62 years. 

Now their family includes four grown children, in-laws, seven grandchildren and several grand in-laws that adore their Papaw, almost 7 great grandchildren that love Papa Great dearly!

Every member of the Boggs, family knows that we are incredibly blessed with the best! God has allowed us to have a Godly Dad, Papaw and Papa Great! He is our family  rock! We love and appreciate him so much!

Thank you, God for my Papaw! Please bless, and strengthen him on his birthday and always!

We celebrated his birthday on Memorial Day. My cousin Deidre used my phone to take a few pictures and this video clip. Several family members and a few friends were still on hand as we sang happy birthday to him.

Thanks for joining me today! I will see you all tomorrow!

Throwback Thursday Memorial Day 2023

 Hey Friends,

I appreciate you stopping by for a visit today. Since I have been reminiscing this week, I thought it only fitting to share some throwback Memorial Day pictures today. 

Two years ago, on Memorial Day, we celebrated my Papaw Eugene's 80th birthday and Mamaw and Papaw's 60th wedding anniversary. 

The whole day was fantastic! Family came from near and far to join us for the celebration! The weather was perfect, and we were all glad to be together!

It is one of my happiest memories from recent years! I am so glad we could be home to be part of the celebration! I love looking back on these pictures!

Thank you for reading as I take a drive down memory lane. I am so thankful for the memories collected on this day!
