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.

Tuesday And Wednesday With Friends

 Hey Friends,

We are still enjoying our Oklahoma visit for a couple more days.

This week, we are getting to spend time with a lot of wonderful people. All of these people are long-time friends that have been special to us. It is always great to spend some time with them. 

In the process, we are enjoying excellent meals from some of our favorite places. 

Tuesday’s lunch was at Jake’s Ribs. Bro. Rickey, Sis. Sharon, Javonia Searcy, Bro. Larry and Sis. Rosemary Landress was our lunch crew that day. 

Wednesday afternoon, we met up with Bro. Brent, Sis. Tiffany Moore and their daughters. We laughed and had a grand ol’ time. We really enjoyed lunch at Bravo’s in Purcell.

 Wednesday night, we dropped in at New Mission Holiness Church for service. We wanted to see Pastor Devin Birdsong and our New Mission friends! 

I also got the chance to surprise Sis. Jessie Everett, one of my besties. We go back over 20 years in our friendship. I love her so much!  

Jessie is married to a Bro. Chad Everett. They evangelize and God uses them to to minister greatly. I loved getting to see them. 

The Lord touched our hearts through the message and services. The fellowship with everyone was amazing. It was a breath of fresh air for us!

That wraps up our Tuesday and Wednesday in Oklahoma this week. 

See you tomorrow.

Happy 50th Anniversary David and Mary Bittle

 Hey Friends,

Saturday, we attended a special anniversary celebration. The family of Bro. David and Sis. Mary Bittle were happy to celebrate their Golden anniversary!

This is a great accomplishment for anybody! Bro. David has been courageously fighting a long health battle. He has had this milestone as a goal for a long time, and he made it! 

We have been friends with them for a long time. It was good to see them again.  The festivities were beautiful, and lots of nice things were said about the lovely couple. 

We could not stay for the entire event, but I am so glad we could be there for a while. We got to see lots of other friends too. 

I will wrap up with the pics I took during the party.

Thursday’s Lunch and Church

 Hey Friends,

Below are my pictures from our Thursday. My phone decided to load them in a crazy order. 

Yesterday afternoon, we went to lunch with Bro.  and Sis. Landress. Bro. Ronald and Sis. Brenda Hobby also joined us for lunch. They are in revival close by this week. We enjoyed the fellowship so much.

Last night, we went to the Hobby's revival at Ardmore Holiness Church. It was so good to be in service with Pastor Brent Moore and the congregation. It was so wonderful to see friends that we had not seen in a long time!

We had a wonderful service! The Lord was there in a special way. I believe we will hear testimonies from things God moved on last night. I know that I am thanking God in advance for touching me last night. It was one of those nights that I knew he was near me! I am so thankful for the gentle touches that He gives me!

See you tomorrow.
