Foodie Friday 2/20/26

 Hey Friends,

We have been eating some great food. Today, I decided to do a Foodie Friday post of lots of food. You may want to eat before looking at these pics. 😀 Sorry to make you hungry. 😀

Sis. Kim Morris makes incredible Gumbo. I had been craving it for a long time. She promised to make it for us this trip, and I have been so excited.  This batch may have been the best I ever eaten!

I love food. Dad taught me that eating is an event. He sure showed me how to enjoy my food. I always think about him when I eat something delicious. 

Now, I am starving. We plan to eat some of our favorited today and tomorrow. I will have to tell you about it later.

Trinity Assembly Visit

 Hey Friends,

Mom and I are having a great time in Mississippi. We have been able to visit several friends. 

Pastor Destin Morris and Trinity Assembly have been faithful supporters of BFM with their prayers. They have also included our ministry in their monthly missions program. 

It had been many years since our last visit. Before Dad passed, we had to cancel at least once. Bro. Destin and Dad wanted to do a tent revival in Meridian. We could never get our schedules to line up. 

Mom and I have been trying hard for the last 14 months to visit our friends at Trinity in Meridian, Mississippi. The days kept running out.  This trip, we were determined to make it happen.

We were thrilled to see them and thank them for their kindness. We greatly enjoyed being in service with them! 

Here are a few pics I took Wednesday night. It was good to have Uncle Steve and Aunt Karen with us, too! 

Waffle House was frigid!

See you tomorrow.

February 2026 BFM Updates

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for joining me here on the blog for a moment of your day. We are so thankful for every reader who checks in to see what's happening with us. 

I cannot express our sincerest gratitude to every friend of Boggs Family Ministries. Your friendship, prayers and support have helped us immensely! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Our ministry looks much different without our founder and fearless leader. Davy Boggs will forever be missed! Mom and I are trying our best to carry out his vision for Boggs Family Ministries.  

Our mission is to reach our nation and beyond with the life-changing gospel of Christ. 

We are still supporting our Brothers and Sisters in Christ in Nigeria. Click HERE to read some of our backstory and our friendship with Nigeria. 

GoodNews Christian School in Nigeria is a passion project for our family. Dad committed to helping them build a new wing to the school. We have continued that commitment. With the help of many of you the school building is progressing.

We want to see the wing finished and furnished. We also love to help with the support of the teachers. Click HERE to see the latest school update. 

They have always put our donations to good use. Over 200 children are receiving a Godly education. The staff work tirelessly for minimal pay. We are thrilled to be a small part of their ministry!

Mom and I also enjoy ministering through music. We are thankful for every pastor who invites us to minister in their services! It is a blessing to work alongside them in whatever capacity they desire. 

We are often asked if there are ways to donate to BFM online. PayPal had been our only option for online giving. 

Now we have two more options available. BFM is now on Venmo search for BoggsFamilyMinistries.

On Cash App you can find BFM by searching bfmboggs.

We are in no way begging for donations! I am just trying to answer the questions of those wanting to support BFM. All donation to Boggs Family Ministries can be tax deductible. We are an official 501c3 ministry. 

Thank you! May God bless you!

Power to Restore By Kelly Jo and Odie

Hey Friends,

Mom has had one of our old songs on her mind this week. We pulled it out of the memory vault. We enjoyed reworking Power To Restore for a video. 

This song was written by Rick Combs and Davy, Kelly and Odie Boggs. 

Dad sang this one originally. We recorded it in 2003. I have always loved the true message in these lyrics. 

Below is the description Mom posted with this video. Also here is an amazing scripture. This verse can give us all hope today. 

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“To the fallen and the broken... the message is....THERE IS POWER TO RESTORE your broken life!

To every addict who has tried and failed, try again with God!

The moment you decide not to try again you are resigned to failure.

The moment you choose to try you are aligned for success! So try again!! Don't quit!

To those who are blinded by sin, there is a healing stream of blood that flows from Calvary. It has Power to heal and restore you!”

Throwback Thursday 1/29/26

Hey Friends,

This is Odie checking in. All the talk about bad weather recently reminded me of 2011. We experience the Tulsa Blizzard. Fun times that I will never forget.

We are throwing it back below. This is a post Dad published on February 1st 2011. 

Dad would not have been excited about this week’s weather! His weather is perfect I am certain. Who knows, maybe just maybe Dad is loving snow in Heaven?!

I will let Dad close out. See you tomorrow. 

Odie

 “We are in the midst of a historic blizzard in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As of 3:00pm the snowfall is at an all time record of 13.8 inches and it is still falling. The wind is gusting up to 40 mph and will be for quite a while so the blizzard is still on. As you can see from the pictures below the snow is drifted several feet. The BoggsMobile has drifts of several feet on one side and the door has 2 feet in front of it. It won't be going any where for quite a while and the Cheap Jeep is stuck as well. We are warm, well fed and hunkered down. There will be no church of course. 

So far we are having fun. 

Davy”

Pause and Praise 1/28/26

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for stopping by to visit. I saw a sign the other day that made me pause and praise. 

Dad always said, “A worshipper is a thinker!” This sign caused me to think and worship. I am beyond grateful! Thank you, God, for answered prayers!

Yes, I remember the days, weeks, months and years that I prayed for what I have today! God answered those prayers in the manner they needed to be answered. 

He has not changed in 2026! I am going to keep praying for the things that I am praying for now. I believe they will one day be answered prayers!

When I think about what I have been through. I have overcome by the grace of our Almighty God. I have been blessed abundantly! 

I know you could say the same in your life as well. Friend, let me encourage you today: keep praying! God is not a respector of persons. He will answer your prayers too!

Thank you for reading!

Sunday Sanity 1/18/26

 Hey Friends, 

Thank you for stopping by on this frigid Sunday. I hope you are heading to church, or have already been to God’s house today. 

I am excited and expecting great things to happen in my life. It is good to go to church seeking after God. 

This is a nugget I gleaned from a daily devotional this week. Daddy enjoyed Pastor Tim Dilena, and I do too. 

“ Faith always gets attacked at the moment it steps out and trusts God. Once you believe God, unbelief is around the corner.”

Pastor Tim Dilena

New York City 

Time Square Church 

This does not mean that we should not believe God!  As Christians, we are taught to have faith in a great big God. Pastor Dilena’s  statement was a reminder to me to believe God, but put my guard up all the more against unbelief.

The Bible has examples some of our heroes that had great faith, they got distracted by unbelief. Much later cause them much heartache! We are vulnerable to that happening to us as well. Therefore, we must be on guard!

See you all tomorrow!

Celebrating My Incredible Daddy

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for spending a moment of your weekend with us! First, I wanted to encourage you to check out yesterday's post HERE, if you missed it. 

For the Boggs family, yesterday was a holiday. January 16 is the birthdate of the one and only Davy Boggs.

We set aside the day on the blog and in real life to celebrate him! The family text started early in the morning. Memories and pictures poured in until late last night. I hope to share some of those memories later. 

I laughed, I cried, I smiled, but most of all, I was proud to be his daughter!

Mom and I were joined by several of our family members at Longhorn Steakhouse for dinner. 

All of us were missing Davy Boggs! The delicious food and wonderful family time were a soothing balm to our hearts. 

Here are a few pictures from Davy’s 2026 birthday dinner!

Mom and I split his favorite steak, in Dad’s honor. 

I know the picture does not look like it, but Uncle Jay was fully there last night 😂. He cut himself half out of the picture

See you all tomorrow!

Old Habits Are Hard To Break

Hey Friends,

This is Odie. Today is another family birthday. A big one for us. 59 years ago today, my Daddy was born. He entered the world at 6 lb 6oz. He lived a full life that impacted many.

I love my Daddy with all my heart! Today, I honor and remember him! We miss him deeply!

Mom is going to finish this post. Thank you for reading. 

A Message from KJo

Today, we gather with family to remember and honor the birthday of the best man I have ever known. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, a faithful son, and a cherished brother to all of us meeting today.

He never cared much for public attention on his birthday, though he always enjoyed celebrating quietly with those he loved. While he won’t be joining us here on earth this year—having changed his address to heaven—he has left pieces of himself in each of us. His influence lives on daily. He shaped who we are, taught us countless lessons, and if we take the time to look, we can still find him everywhere. So, in a sense, he is with us.

So what made him the best man I have ever known?

First, his deep and unwavering love for his family. Then, his sincere love for God and his adventurous, faithful service to Him. Add to that his care and concern for his friends, and his compassion for the hurting and the overlooked. These are only a few of the qualities that defined him.

Did you notice the common thread?

Love.

Davy Boggs loved—When he did, he did so fiercely.

He taught us how to love. He taught us to be real, to seek God wholeheartedly, and to walk in faith even when the road was uncertain. When we look closely, we can see Davy reflected in who we are.

Some of you were blessed to know him up close and witness that love in action. Maybe you were on the receiving end of one of his preacher to pastor counseling talks, when he helped talk you off a cliff. If so, then you understand exactly what I mean when I say he was a good man—and a loving one.

Before I close, there is one more lesson he passed on to us—one Habit That Is Hard To Break.

This man loved good food and he taught us to as well!

So here we go again…the Longhorn Birthday habit!

Today, we are honoring his birthday the way he would have enjoyed: with one of his favorite steaks from LongHorn.

None of this likely matters to him now as he celebrates in the presence of Jesus. But for those of us still here, life continues. We carry on, bringing our favorite “Davy things” with us, knowing

that when we do, we never truly leave him behind.

Here is a link to a video of Davy singing “If You Could See Me Now.”

Thank you for reading today. I hope these words have made sense as I express a viewpoint I share with myself often.
