Sunday Morning Sanity - Easter Version

Sunday Morning Sanity

I Corinthians 15:13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:

 14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

He Wouldn’t Stay Dead

He Wouldn’t Stay Dead

by: Willard G. Thomas

They laid His body in Joseph’s new tomb

And filled His disciples with sorrow and gloom

They did not remember what He had said

That He would die, but He wouldn’t stay dead

Mary came at the break of day

And found the stone was rolled away

She saw an angel and in terror fled

And told His disciples that He didn’t stay dead

In that cold dark tomb, He would not stay

He conquered death and walked away

And now that old grave has lost its fear and dread

He lives again! He wouldn’t stay dead

Full atonement and pardon were made

And forever the sin debt was marked fully paid

The price was His blood as it flowed crimson red

And I’m thankful today that He didn’t stay dead!

Let’s go to our churches and cry aloud

Let’s go to the marketplace and talk to the crowd

Let’s go to the mission fields that lie up ahead

And tell the whole world that He didn’t stay dead!

Because if Jesus Christ had only died

Then the gulf between us and God would still be wide

But thank God He did what He said

He got up out of the ground, He couldn’t stay dead!

Odie's December Hillsboro 2023 Family Time

Hey Friends,

This is Odie reporting in one last time for 2023. It seems like we just closed the door to 2022 about three months ago. Where did the time go?

This year has been full of ups and downs, with a few sudden curves thrown in the mix, too. The one constant that has carried me through 2023 is my precious Lord!

I am incredibly grateful that I can rely on Him! I have utilized my ability to lean on Him heavily this year! He has never once let me down! With His help, I have survived another year.

I am looking forward to having a fresh calendar page to flip on Monday. God only knows what the coming year holds for all of us. We can trust Him to see us through every day of the year ahead. I pray God blesses us all with a tremendous 2024!

 Odie's December Hillsboro 2023 Family Time

I have a bundle of pictures to share from my time at home. I am going to break them up into a few different posts. Today will be my Morgan Family pictures.

I spent a few days with my Morgan family in Hillsboro a few weekends ago. It was wonderful to be with them. I love my family! 

Here are some pictures and commentary from my fun family time. First, we had a family pizza night at Gran and Papaw's house.

My official Christmas picture for 2023. Thank you to Kayla Jo for the photography.

Gran and Papaw took me home on Sunday afternoon. We had lunch at Alcapulco.

The food and salsa were heavenly.

A quick selfie and I had a hard time getting the angles right. It was too cold to get the picture outside.

I insisted that Papaw had to play me some good music before they left to head home.

That wraps up my family fun filled weekend. I hope you enjoyed coming along for the ride. Tune in next time for more Ohio pictures from my camera roll.

See you in 2024!

A Very Boggs Christmas!

Today we have pictures from our Boggs Christmas, but before I get to that, let me show you what an amazing difference between two Christmas days.

This is last year on Christmas Eve. It was -8 degrees overnight with fierce winds that caused two feet of snow to drift onto Odie's driveway. It had to be removed before we could get the car out of the garage and it was miserable.

One year later there was NO snow and it was 60 degrees! Hallelujah!

Christmas morning, the three of us gathered at Odie's house to celebrate Christmas as a family.

Christmas afternoon we went next door to Dodds Fellowship Hall and gathered together with the Boggs clan. Most of the family was there including the newest three day old member of the family. We had a great day of food and fun.

Please enjoy the pictures.

The theme was Mexican food.

I love Christmas time, especially when it is warm!😍 Thank you for joining us today.
