Sunday Sanity 6/8/25

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for stopping by to visit us today. Here is a nugget of sanity for your Sunday. 

This was from a couple of months ago. 

In April, Bro. Lynn and Sis. Arlene Head preached revival at our church, DRPC. This was the title of Bro. Head’s message one night. His question struck a chord with me, and I have thought about it many times since that night.

Bro. Lynn and Sis. Arlene Head

“Are you going to worship, or are you going to worry?”

Bro. Lynn Head- Georgia 

Worry gets us nowhere in life! I once heard that worry is like a rocking chair. 

I love rocking in my glider on the porch. Rocking will not take me anywhere. I am still on the porch, even if I rock for hours.

Guess what? My worry will still surround me!

Worship of God will take me into His presence! That is the exact place that I desire to be! The presence of the King of Kings makes everything better! 

See y'all tomorrow! I hope you have a wonderful Sunday!

 Hey Friends,

Happy Sunday! Here is a brief word of wisdom that stuck out to me recently. 

Bro. Jared Burris made this statement in a sermon at church. It spoke to me. I thought it would be a good nugget for Sunday Sanity. 

“Prayer and life go together. 

Where there is prayer there is life. 

When there is no prayer there is no life.”

Bro. Jared Burris

- Springboro, Ohio

Thank for reading. I hope and pray you have a blessed Sunday!

 Hey Friends,

Happy Lord’s Day! I hope you experience God's presence in a special way today.

I read today's sanity as a thought of the day a while back on another blog. I do not know the original author of this quote. I thought it was a good nugget for today. 

“The difference between try and triumph is just a little umph.”

-Author Unknown 

We must keep trying every day. We survived yesterday, and I have faith we will see tomorrow. We have God on our side!

Thank you for reading. I will be back tomorrow.

Hey Friends,

I hope you have a wonderful Lord’s day! Mom and I are deeply saddened by the storm damage from Friday night. Many places were hit, and it is terrible! 

The reports coming from the London, Kentucky, area are horrific! We have so many family members and friends in this area, and it is heartbreakingly scary! 

Please pray for everyone who has suffered injury and or loss! Countless people are left trying to figure out what to do now. I know they need prayer and strength to survive. 

Here is some sanity for you: I'm including this little nugget from a message by Bro. Roger Luke, a few months ago. 

He was preaching on “I am still here.” We can survive the attack of the enemy!

“Pain is a testimony that Hell failed what it was trying to do to you.”

Roger Luke

Waynesboro, Mississippi 

Thank you for reading.

Hey Friends,

Happy Sunday! I hope you have a wonderful Lord's Day! We are anticipating excellent services at our home church. I love being in service with our pastor and church family!

I try to catch a few other services online throughout the week. My YouTube is Bible Holiness in Elkton, Virginia. Bro. Brent Gabbard is my YouTube Pastor. 

Here is a powerful nugget of Sanity. I pulled this from the Easter Sunday morning service from BHC. Bro. Brent said it at the beginning of the service, and it went straight to my soul. I had to rewind it many times to let it soak in!

“There's power in the blood of Jesus today

There’s power to break every chain

There’s power to heal pain 

There’s power cleanse every stain 

There's power in the blood of Jesus”

Pastor Brent Gabbard 

- BHC Elkton, Virginia 

I am so thankful for the power in the blood of Jesus! I would not be here today without its wonder working power!

Let us rejoice and praise God today for the power that comes from the blood of Jesus!

 Hey Friends,

Happy Sunday! Thank you for spending a moment of your weekend with us. 

I am thankful we have a Christ that has been here and will be right here! Christ is forever!

Today’s nugget of truth is from a dear friend, Bro. Andrew Blevins. This hit home with me during his preaching this week. I had to share it in today's Sunday Sanity. 

“He was before Bethlehem, and He is beyond Calvary.”

Bro. Andrew Blevins- Waynesville, Ohio

See you tomorrow.

Hey Friends,

Happy Palm Sunday. This is always a special week for me. I like to take time to reflect on the events leading up to Resurrection Sunday!

As Christians, we have a huge reason to celebrate. Our Savior is risen! We should remember and celebrate that every day! This is just a special season that we set aside to focus on His love and sacrifice for us. 

Today’s Sunday Sanity comes from our Pastor at DRPC. Last Sunday night, he preached from Psalms 85:6. This was a great message on revival and our need for personal revival now. 

“Wilt thou not revive us again: That thy people may rejoice in thee?” 

Psalm 85:6 KJV

Here is something Bro. Bennie said during his message. This statement stood out to me. I thought I would share it with you today.

“God is not a God of used to be! He don't mind you remembering, but He don't want you to live there.”

Pastor Bennie D. Sutherland-

Dryden Road Pentecostal Church, Moraine, Ohio 

Thanks for spending a moment of your Sunday with me. I hope you have a great day! Please join me here again tomorrow.

 Hey Friends,

Mom and I are flying back to Ohio from Oklahoma. I cannot wait to share more from our quick weekend trip. It was great!

Here is a nugget that I read this week.

“There is no greater evidence of God’s will than the relentless fight of the devil to destroy it.”

-Joyce Martin Sanders

See you tomorrow!

Hey Friends,

Here is today’s Sunday Sanity. I gleaned this word of encouragment last Sunday Morning. Bro. J.R. Alexander was preaching at DRPC. I thought it was a good sanity to share with you today.

“It’s gonna be alright, I'm not minimizing your situation I'm magnifying our God!”

Pastor J.R. Alexander

Moss Point, Mississippi

Thank you for reading. I will see you tomorrow.

 Hey Friends,

Welcome to another Lord's Day. I hope the Lord blesses us all with a wonderful day! Today is a gift, and I do not want to take it for granted!

Thank you, Lord, for waking me up this morning. You are great and worthy of praise!

Here is something to ponder as you go about your day. Bro. Andrew Blevins was preaching Thursday night at our church. He preached wonderfully on David and “The Promoting of God.” He made a statement that stuck out to me.

“David did not name his success after himself. He named them after his God.” Evangelist Andrew Blevins

- Waynesville, Ohio

David was blessed with many successes in his life, but he did not rely on his success. David knew that his success came from God! He'll followed the prompting of God in his life. Because he allowed God to direct his path, he was blessed, protected, and successful! 

I have been thinking since Thursday night about this, David was human. He had his own struggles in life, but he succeeded. He survived because he allowed God to help him.That is something that I needed to be reminded of. I want to follow the prompting of God in my life, and to be open to God's guidance!

See you tomorrow!

Hey Friends,

Today's sanity I found on our table last week in Alabama. I thought I would share this thought with you. 

"Christ with me, 

Christ before me, 

Christ behind me,
Christ in me."

St. Patrick

I am so thankful to have Christ with me always!

God Bless! See you Tomorrow!

 Hey Friends,

Welcome to Sunday Sanity! Thanks for stopping by to visit. 

Here is a nugget I heard from Bro. Roger Luke this week. I thought it was something good to feast on today. 

“One thing about life as a child of God, you are never alone!”

Bro. Roger Luke

I am glad God is the one who will never leave or forsake us! He will be with until the end! Go on with God today! We can make it!

Hey Friends,

Hello from Mississippi! Can you believe it is March 2025? We are having a great trip! The warm weather is gorgeous!

Here is a nugget for your Sunday. This stuck out to me last week while Bro. Trey Brock was preaching at Crosslight Chapel. His title for the message was “The Gospel That Got Personal.”

“The gospel is for the whole world. Don't get wrapped up in the splendor, and lose sight that the gospel is for you!”

-Reverend Trey Brock

See you tomorrow!

Hey Friends,

Welcome to another edition of Sunday Sanity. Thank you for stopping by to visit!

Today's nugget comes to us from my dad's collection of saved Sanity Possibilities. I hope this inspires you! You never know where you will find something good.

"You can't stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes." 

- Winnie-the-Pooh

I hope you have a great Sunday! See you next time!

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for joining us on Sunday! Welcome if you are new to Boggs Blogs! My regular readers know that we have shared a Sunday Sanity here most Sundays for several years.

Sanity was something my Dad started, and I have carried on. A while back, I found a page where Dad had saved some sanity possibilities. I have not researched them all yet to see if he has used any of them in the past. I did search for the one that I'm using today. I did not see it posted here.

I thought this was a good nugget to leave you with for today. 

“For where God would build a church, the devil would also build a chapel”

 

Martin Luther

I hope you have a great Sunday! Thanks for reading!

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for stopping by for a moment on Sunday. Today’s sanity comes straight from the word of God. There is no better place to look for a word of encouragement.

A friend sent me this verse a while back. It encourage my heart that day, and I have looked back on it several times since. It is a comfort to know that we can find refuge and confidence In the Lord!

May God bless you and give you strength!

Hey Friends,

This is Odie reporting in for another Sunday Sanity. My friend, Sis. Lacey Lamb recently reminded me of something Dad said about faith. This statement spoke to her, and she made note of it.

I, too, remember hearing him make this statement in his preaching and thinking it was excellent! Lacey, thank you for bringing this back to my mind!

I do not know if this was an original quote from Dad. He often credited others, but I do not remember this one. For today, Dad gets the credit.

"Faith is not a blind leap in the dark, but a leap into the hand of God. It's a vast difference."

-Davy Boggs Boggs Family Ministries

Pictured below is Dad with Stella, Lacey, and E.J. Lamb. This was taken in July of 2024.

Thanks for visiting. See you next time.

Sanity 1/26/25

Hey Friends,

It is time for Sunday Sanity. I, Odie, started my vacation yesterday. I will be getting much needed refreshment for the mind, body and soul on the sea. 

Most of the week, I will not have access to check the blog. The posts should go up as scheduled.

Today's Sanity came from our pastor's Sunday School lesson last week. When he spoke these words, Mom looked at me and said, "Sunday Sanity."

 

"If you are hid in Christ, why do I see so much of you?"

Pastor B.D. Sutherland 

Dryden Road Pentecostal Church Moraine, Ohio

 

Colossians 3:3 provoked this quote. It was just one of the reference verses he used in his lesson. Oh, ouch! My prayer is to be fully hidden in Christ!

See you later!

Sunday Sanity 1/19/25

Hey Friends,

I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday! We have returned to the deep freeze here in Ohio. According to the weather guessers, as my Dad called them, we will be there for several days. I will still rejoice and be glad because this is the day the Lord made.

Pastor E.J. Lamb provides with today's sanity. Mom and I attended service with our friends at the Anchor on Wednesday night. 

We sure do love Pastor E.J., Sis. Lacey, their children, and the Anchor of Hope church family! All of them have been special friends to us for a long time!

On Wednesday night, he preached on “ Faith Beyond Feelings.” The entire message was encouraging, but this little nugget stood out.

“Faith is not a walk in what I see and feel, but faith is walking in what I know”. Pastor E.J. Lamb

One thing I know God will always be with us, even when we can not see or  feel Him!

See you tomorrow.

Snowy View And Sunday Sanity 1/12/2025

Hey Friends,

Happy Sunday! I hope you have a fantastic Lord's Day. We have had a snowy week. 

We did not leave the house for several days. By Wednesday, we were able to get out a few times, but then more snow came! I think, we can get out for church today!

Here was the view out our front door on Monday afternoon. This was probably 8-10 inches of snow.

This was our view Friday evening and yesterday after more snow came.

 

We probably added 2 more inches Friday night.

Uncle Jay came once again and shoveled everything for us. We appreciate his help, so very much!

I will close with today's Sunday Sanity. I recently heard it and instantly knew it would appear here!

"The will of God is not a destination. It is a journey."
