The Weekend Dispatch 3/25/24

We have had a wonderful weekend. I felt more normal than I have in nearly 3 months. Or at least more consistently normal with several pretty good days in a row. We have been with family, friends and our church folks all weekend long.

The main focus of this weekend was church, including the first three nights of revival at Dryden Road beginning Thursday night. We will have more pictures of revival later, but here are a few to get you started.




Brother Michael Switzer has preached outstanding. It has been so good to see him again and to enjoy the Lord speaking into my heart through his ministry. Praise God. 

I told him I felt a little twinge of guilt in my heart when I saw him. I was supposed to preach a revival for him and Brother David Horton this week before the cataclysmic change in our schedule. We absolutely love being in revival with them in Bristol, Virginia.

It was a great blessing to us this week to hear the word of God and respond in the altar and feel the touch of God in our lives. The revival was a great encouragement to us.

I mentioned last week that I spent a few hours messing with the BoggsMobile and I enjoyed that very much. 


I am sure that Odie will tell you about it at some point, but she spent two evenings with cousins enjoying their fellowship and listening to great singing. 




We enjoyed a rare day on Thursday. Kelly‘s parents and my parents visiting all of us at Odie‘s house on the same day. We really enjoyed that. 






The Stansells were here too. Bro Rick and Bro Timmy were helping us with some tasks on the Lazy OD Ranch that we could not do ourselves. They are really super folks!






Friday, March 22, we broke out the mower in 40 degree weather. The grass was about to get away from us so KJo mowed some of it over three weeks earlier than normal. Ouch!


The mower is not running exactly right so we will have to deal with that at some point.





Earlier Friday was my last scheduled day of therapy.


There were tears all around between us and some of the therapists that have been helping me since the beginning. We are so glad to be finished with therapy for now, but we will miss these kind people.

We provided pizza for them and the nursing staff on my last day of inpatient therapy on January 15. Kelly went and got pizza for all the therapists on Friday. I did not even lay my eyes on it but I sure could smell it in every hallway I was in.😳😍

Over the last couple of weeks, I have taken pictures of most of my main therapists. I will write more about them and show you their pictures a little later. 

Sunday we ventured out to preach again. This time for Pastor Wade Hicks and the great folks at West Harrison Pentecostal Church an inch or two over the line in Indiana. We had a wonderful Psalm Sunday with our friends.





I first went to West Harrison in 1987 to attend revival and hear the preacher who was preaching revival. I was 20 years old then and Pastor Wade Hicks was probably 37. I am now 57 and Bro. Hicks is a little older 😎 so we have been acquainted with him and the church for a long time.

Our long history with West Harrison gives us a comfortableness with them so it was a good place to preach the second sermon on my recovery tour. The Lord came to me as I was preaching and helped me. He also spoke a wonderful Word of comfort to my spirit. Hallelujah!!!

I will post more pictures from Sunday later in the week.

That wraps up the weekend. Thank you for going along for the ride.

The Weekend Dispatch 3/18/24

Wow! We were blessed with a wonderful weekend and we are glad to tell you about it. 

We had three full hours of therapy on Friday and came away with some great information.



If nothing changes, Speech therapy and Occupational therapy will end on Wednesday, March 27 IF not before. Physical therapy will pause on March 27 for a few weeks. I will go back toward the third week of April and they will evaluate how I am doing at that point.

After the evaluation, they will either discharge me or schedule more therapy as needed. That fits good with my loosely held plan that I detailed last week. After March 27, we hope to travel in the car a few weeks preaching on Sundays and mid-weeks and see how I handle that. Yay!

The therapists have help me tremencously the lst many weeks. I will write more about them and add pictures of my regular therapists when we are through.

Saturday, KJo and Odie attended a baby shower for Kayla Jo in Hillsboro, Ohio. It looks like they had a great time.













Sunday morning I preached for the first time since the stoke for my Pastor at Dryden Rd. I was very apprehensive but the Lord the Lord blessed us wonderfully. He surprised me in an awesome way! Hallelujah





I am so thankul for the touch of the Lord Sunday morning. I needed His touch and He came to me so sweetly.

That wraps up our weekend. Thank you for stoppig by.

I hope you had a super great weekend. We had a good weekend and Odie snapped a few pictures to make it real.

One day, I am not sure when, Kelly Jo and I worked on the door locks of the Green Machine. 


The day KJo picked me up from the hospital in January, the driver's door lock stuck in a locked position. We finally unlocked it and removed the door panel. We ordered and received the part we think is bad. I will bring you up-to-date when we are finished.

On Thursday, Kelly’s parents came to visit for a few hours. It is always great to see them and we enjoyed visiting with them very much.

We try to talk Kelly’s Dad into playing the guitar a little and we do not have to twist his arm too much. We enjoyed some music and some singing.







Friday morning we have therapy from nine until noon. One hour of physical therapy, one hour of occupational therapy and one hour of speech therapy.

We have some great therapists and they are helping me. Sometimes they work me hard and I am really sore the next day or maybe the next two days, but I appreciate what they are doing for me.


We have no idea how much longer therapy will last, so I am trying to soak it all up as best I can.

Friday evening my brother Steve and sister Karen brought JoJo by to visit with us for a little while. We really enjoyed seeing them and spending time with Jo. 






Sunday we went to church at Dryden Rd. enjoyed being with our church family. Brother Bennie taught Sunday School and preached and we loved it.







Please remember that A Word For Wednesday has returned. There will be a new episode on Wednesday.


That wraps up our weekend. Thank you for joining us today.
