 Hey Friends,

Today is Homecoming Day 2026 at RFA. We are looking forward to a wonderful day. 

If you are in the area , join us for Homecoming. Service starts at 10:30 

We are singing with Bro. Colton Deane. Bro. Phillip Deane is preaching this morning.

We are excited to be with Bro. Phillip, Sis. Deidra and Colton again. 

Here is our sanity for this Sunday. This is something to ponder. 

“If you disliked food like you do the things of God, you would lose weight, whether you wanted to or not.”

See you later.

 Hey Friends,

Happy Sunday. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Let's go to church and see what God has in store for us today. 

I have something for you to ponder. This nuggets of sanity landed right in my heart. It took up residency in my thoughts. 

Bro. Andrew Blevins made this statement last month in a message. Every day, I remind myself of his words. 

“Today's blessings might be meant to get us through tomorrow’s crisis”

Bro. Andrew Blevins 

DRPC

Waynesville, OH

I need more of God to make through the days ahead. He has bestowed daily blessings on my life. Thank you, God, for my daily bread and benefits!

Thank you for reading.

 Hey Friends,

Here is a little nugget to help us keep our sanity. I have kept this in my notes all year. 

Bro. Jon Isaacs made this statement during revival at DRPC. 

"Fault finding is faith killing."

Pastor Jon Isaacs 

Grace Fellowship 

Elba, Alabama 

I do not want to kill faith by finding fault in people or my current circumstances. My goal is to be a faith builder and not a killer! So this is a great reminder to check my attitude daily. 

God bless you!

 Hey Friends,

Today is a special day. Our beloved Pastor, Bro. Bennie Sutherland, is celebrating his birthday. He has been our pastor for almost 38 years. We love him so much!

God blessed us with an incredible Shepherd. His love, care and guidance have helped us more than words can convey. 

I still love hearing the Word of God as he delivers it. God gives him a special anointing!

Here is a nugget of sanity from a recent service. I hope it encourages you today. God is with us yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever. 

“If God is everywhere, then there is nowhere I can go where God is not.”

Pastor Bennie D. Sutherland 

Dryden Road Pentecostal Church 

Moraine, Ohio

Today, I am extra thankful for my Pastor. Also wish him a Happy 84th Birthday!

See you tomorrow.

Hey Friends,

Happy Sunday! I pray God blesses you today. 

I pulled this nugget of truth out of a recent message from Pastor Brent Gabbard. HERE is a YouTube link to the service. 

 "Faith doesn't mean I'll never walk through the fire!

But faith means I'll go through the fire, knowing God is keeping me!"

Pastor Brent Gabbard

BHC

Through Him we can persevere and survive! Hallelujah, I am going through with God guiding me day by day. 

See you tomorrow.

 Hey Friends,

 

We visited a store on Wednesday. They had a wall of nice signs for the home. I read one that reached out and grabbed my soul. 

Once again it it common knowledge. I was not learning something new, but the reminder was food to the mind and soul. 

I thought I snapped a photo, but alas it did not save. So I made a graphic to share with you. 

This has not left my mind since Wednesday. I am hanging on to the gentle reminder. Hopefully it encourages your day too. 

God Bless!

Happy Birthday And Sunday Sanity

 Hey Friends, 

Yesterday afternoon, Mom and I were feasting on the song written from Psalm chapter 34. It was the mana we needed for the moment! 

I apologize if my neighbor heard us singing this last night. We were having a personal worship session. I am thankful that we can worship God anytime and anywhere! 

Today, I figured that I would share this song with you. Hoping that it will also encourage your soul and give you a nugget of sanity for this Sunday. 

We both really like the Brooklynn Tabernacle version of this song. I hope you can listen to it and let these words wash over your mind. 

Psalm 34

Verse 1

I sought the Lord

And He answered me

And delivered me

From every fear

Those who look on Him

Are radiant

They'll never be ashamed

They'll never be ashamed

Verse 2

This poor man cried

And the Lord heard me

And saved me from

My enemies

The Son of God

Surrounds His saints

He will deliver them

He will deliver them

Chorus

Magnify thе Lord with me

Come exalt His namе together

Glorify the Lord with me

Come exalt His name forever

Verse 3

Oh, taste and see

That the Lord is good

Oh, blessed is He

Who hides in Him

Oh, fear the Lord

Oh, all you saints

He'll give you everything

He'll give you everything

Chorus

Magnify the Lord with me

Come exalt His name together

Glorify the Lord with me

Come exalt His name forever

Magnify the Lord with me

Come exalt His name together

Glorify the Lord with me

Come exalt His name forever

Bridge

Let us bless the Lord

Every day and night

Never-ending praise

May our incense rise

Let us bless the Lord

Every day and night

Never-ending praise

May our incense rise

Let us bless the Lord

Every day and night

Never-ending praise

May our incense rise

Let us bless the Lord

Every day and night

Never-ending praise

May our incense rise

Chorus

Magnify the Lord with me (He's worthy to be praised, exalt His name)

Come exalt His name together (Let's exalt His name, exalt His name today)

Glorify the Lord with me (Glorify His name, we exalt your name Jesus)

Come exalt His name forever (He's worthy, yes He's worthy)

Magnify the Lord with me

Come exalt His name together

(Glorify) Glorify the Lord with me (Come and exalt His name)

Come exalt His name forever (Give Him glory, give Him glory)

Verse 3 Tag

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for praying for my sweet sister/cuz Deidre and her family! We have gotten some answers, but we are still praying for God to move! She is still undergoing testing. 

I was reminded of this statement I wrote in my notes a while back. Bro. Jeremy Henson's words encouraged me then. I am still feasting on them today. It is today's nugget of sanity!

“But God……........................................

Two little words-

Six letters that turn things completely around!”

Bro. Jeremy Henson

Carlise, Ohio

Dryden Road Pentecostal Church 

I must remember that our God is bigger than our circumstances. He is involved in every detail! 

See you tomorrow.

 Hey Friends,

Yesterday, we changed the locations in California. We made it safely without any incidents during our trip. That is always an answer to prayer. 

By the time we got settled last night, both of us were worn out. Here is a nugget of scripture for today's sanity. 

God’s word is a wonderful balm to the soul. This verse is encouraging while in life's waiting room. 

Have a Super Great Sunday. 

Odie

Sunday Sanity 7/26/26

 Hey Friends,

Happy Sunday, God is awesome, and it is a pleasure to be a redeemed Child of God! 

The Blood of God’s Son, Jesus, was shed to cover our sins. It still works today to save the sinners. Nothing else will work to save us. 

Here is a statement from Pastor David Webb for today's sanity.

“The blood plus nothing doesn't save us!”

Pastor David Webb

HPC Hodgenvile, Kentucky 

We must never forget that it is only the blood that saves us. Not our good works, church attendance, lifestyle or anything else will cleanse us. I am thankful today for the Holy blood of Jesus!

Thank you for reading.

 Hey Friends,

Yesterday, I was starting to get today's post prepped. My heart was heavy because our family had just received bad news.

My Bible app verse of the day came up on my phone. I needed to be reminded of this verse in that very moment. God's word is amazing! It is a balm to the mind and soul!

Please join me in prayer for peace that passeth understanding. We have family and friends hurting today. Someone we know tragically passed away yesterday afternoon. Their family and friends need a mega does of special peace, comfort and love that only Christ Jesus can provide. 

See you tomorrow.

 Hey Friends,

Saturday's post went live later than usual. My signal would not cooperate. HERE is the link, if you missed reading yesterday. 

Our travels continue with Gran and Papaw. We are visiting the Yellowstone area. 

Thanks again to our family for keeping an eye on things at home for us. Love and miss you all!

Here is a quote I heard recently in a sermon. A preacher was quoting someone else. I did not catch whether they credited the original person.  

The statement is so true. I need to remind myself of it more often. 

See you tomorrow.

 Hey Friends,

I hope your holiday weekend has been great. Ours has been full of packing and getting ready for our next big trip on Tuesday.

I just squeezed in some Fourth of July celebration yesterday. I will share some of that with you at a later date.

For today, I have a little nugget of truth to share with you. One of our young preachers at DRPC made a statement Tuesday night. 

His words have stayed with me this week. I have pondered it a lot. I even shared with some friends in personal conversation. 

“Many times God asks us for our obedience without explanation.”

Bro. Ethan Brock 

Springboro, OH

Dryden Road Pentecostal Church 

There are many instances in the Bible like, the children of Israel, Esther, Ruth Joseph, David, Abraham, and many more. They had to first obey before they received their answer to prayer. 

When God asks me to obey, I want to strive for willing and instant obedience! Lord please help me!

Thanks for checking in with us. See you tomorrow.

 Hey Friends,

We made it back home to Ohio yesterday. It is good to. Be home for a few days. 

Next week we will take off for our July travel. Two big trips are coming up. 

I hope you have a great Lord’s day. Here is a nugget of sanity that I held onto during campmeeting this week. 

Bro. Shawn Stephens preached Thursday morning. His message was so encouraging!

“God’s delay is not always God’s denial!”

Evangelist Bro. Shawn Stephens

Souls Habor Holiness Church

Smithland, Kentucky 

Friends, God is at work even when we can not see it. We can take heart today!

 See you tomorrow.

 Hey Friends,

It is almost 1AM on Sunday. I opened my phone to prep the blog. I was greeted by the verse of the day from my Bible app. 

There is no greater encouragement than the word of God. He inspired Paul to pen these words. 

The support of family and friends help us tremendously. I do not want to go through life without my support system. I am so thankful for the people God has placed in my life. 

Let us allow, Romans 8:31 to encourage our hearts today. God is for us, and that is all we MUST have to succeed! Thank God He is always for me. Without Him I am helpless!

See you tomorrow.

Hey Friends,

Happy Sunday! Here is a nugget of sanity for your Sunday. 

My cousin Jacqueline Coffman sent me this quote. This was encouraging to me, and I thought I would pass it along to you.

God Bless,

 Hey Friends,

Here is a nugget of sanity for your Sunday. Pastor Kenny Morris delivered an excellent message titled this. 

The Bible is full of examples of men and women of God who overcame their failures. The grace of God gives that same ability! Thank God for Grace!

“Failure does not have to be fatal!”

Pastor Kenny Morris

God Bless!

 Hey Friends,

Good morning! It is a great day to serve the Lord. We are going to church at DRPC. I am looking forward to a great day.

This is a great reminder. We must daily make up our mind to endure until the end. 

Thank you for reading.
