Kolby Lee and Carson Lee

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for visiting! I have a few things to bring to your attention. 

Kolby Lee

Today, we have reason to celebrate. One year ago today, we gained a new family member on the Morgan side. 

Kolby Lee Yeager was born! In the blink of an eye, 12 whole months have passed. Now he is a boy on the move!

He is just so precious! We will get to celebrate his birthday this weekend! I plan to have pics from the party next week. 

Happy Birthday, Kolby! We love you so much! You make us smile! Thanks for making our world brighter!

Carson Lee

I have mentioned a couple times that my cousin Carson Lee Shoemaker was in need of prayer. Thank you for helping us pray!  He has spent several days in the hospital. 

It appeared that he was doing much better. We were thrilled and thankful that he was released from the hospital yesterday. I was excited to get some pictures and videos of smiles and laughs! We had not seen a happy Carson since he got sick.

He was out of the hospital for an hour.  Then he got very sick again. On the recommendation of his pediatrician, they the returned to the ER. I am so sad that the little guy is suffering so much!

Please join our family in praying for our sweet baby Carson! Last night, his mama, Deidre, was asking for intercessory prayer. We know God is able to heal him completely. I am also praying if need be, God gives them answers to what is going on.

I Need You Video

Did you catch the new video that we uploaded to our YouTube channel? It is one of our all time favorite songs titled I Need You.

Thanks to many of you, they have left sweet comments on the video. I also appreciate the many texts that both of us have received since posting it. It is a favorite song of a lot of you! 

Thanks for reading! I will be back tomorrow.

God Won’t Autumn Nelon and The Isaacs

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for checking in with me. I appreciate your prayers and concern for my sweet baby cousin, Carson Shoemaker! Click here if you missed the prayer request, yesterday.  

They are trying to get fluids in him. Carson is still very sick! He is in the hospital in Mobile, Alabama. It breaks my heart to see him suffer! I miss my happy buddy!

We are still praying and believing that God will help him recover quickly. We are also praying for his Mom and Dad to feel extra strength from God today!

God Won’t 

Autumn Nelon Streetman and The Isaacs

I first shared this song in December here in this post. God Won’t was released last year on the Nelons’ final project. I love this song and find the message encouraging.

Now, Autumn Nelon Streetman has re-released the song. She was joined by extremely special guests, The Isaacs. Now, I love the song even more! I had to share the updated version with my friends. 

Here is the new version of God Won’t. This song was written by two incredible writers, Jimmy Yeary and Sue C. Smith. I hope you enjoy this song.

Autumn, if you ever see this post, you are still in my prayers! Girl, you are a trooper and I admire you! I pray God gives you daily strength!

Thank you for reading! I will see you tomorrow.

Pray For Baby Carson Shoemaker

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for stopping by to visit with us today. I have a very special prayer request for you!

I am living proof that prayer works! We have family that needs a miracle. My cousin Deidre gave me permission to post a request here.

Deidre and her husband, Ben, have a 10 month-old baby boy named Carson. He has been very sick this week! Since Tuesday night, he has struggled to keep anything down. The last report I had, he kept a little Pedialyte down yesterday.

They spent yesterday going to doctors and hospitals, trying to find answers. Carson was very dehydrated and had some other issues going on. Late last night, they were trying to transfer him to Mobile, Alabama, to a hospital specializing in children.

Please keep our little Carson in your prayers! he is a very special little guy. His auntie O loves him so very much, and my heart breaks when any of my little ones are sick. I could cry when I think about him not feeling well!

Today is Carson’s 10 month birthday. God has brought him a long way in his 10 months of life. The first few days of his life, he was in the NICU. 

Here is one of his pictures from Easter Sunday!

Also pray for Deidre, Ben, Charle 

Chloe and the precious family that are helping Deidre and Ben. We all want to be there! Sadly Alabama and Ohio are not side by side. 😢

Thank you in advance for your prayers! We appreciate you all! See you tomorrow.

God Is Still A Healer

 Hey Friends,

I have something burning on my heart that I must shout from the rooftop! Today, this is my rooftop.

GOD IS STILL A HEALER! I believe it with all my heart and every fiber of my being. For the last few days, I have felt like giving the devil a black eye! My faith has not wavered in our great, big God!

He is still awesome! God answers prayer! He never has and never will change! What He did for our heroes in the Bible, what He has done for my great grandparents, my grandparents, my parents, and more, He can do all of it and more today!

This week alone, I have heard testimonies of God performing a bonafide miracle for two people that I personally know! I know and love both of these people, and I have been joining their families in prayer. 

God heard and answered the hundreds of prayers that were prayed! I am not shocked by God's healing power, but I am left in awe!

I may not be healed yet, and things are not easy for me. God chose to give my Dad the ultimate healing in Heaven last year. I just wanted to declare it one more time: God is a healer. Despite my circumstances, God is still good! In 2025, I believe he is my healer! 

Every day is a gift from God. Today, I am thankful for the miracle of life. I am also grateful for the miracle of salvation! That is the greatest of all miracles!

Thank you, God, for being a healer! I glorify and honor you, for you deserve all the honor! Every miracle comes straight from you!

Please join me today, and thank God for being a healer. We can continue to pray and believe in Him to do miracles for all of us!

God is so good, and I feel so blessed. If it had not been for the Lord, where would I be? Thank you for joining us. Please make plans to visit us again tomorrow!

Friday Check In

 Hey Friends,

This is just a quick blog for today. We are doing okay. God is giving us strength because of everybody’s prayers. Ironing out the details of Dad’s service next week is keeping us busy.

Please pray extra for me. I am battling an ailment that flared up yesterday. My prayer is for God to set me free totally!

I had another post planned for today, but that can wait for a different day. Thanks for checking in. 

Odie

Pray For Me, Please!

The weekend dispatch is being preempted today by a serious prayer request. I woke up about 1:30 Sunday morning with a incredible pain in my left side. I did not sleep a wink after that. As the night progressed we came to the conclusion that is probably a kidney stone.

We found about 7 AM that a hot compress would dull the pain a little bit. I spent most the day with that on my side. All in all I had about 20 hours of horrible pain and some up-and-down fever with bone jarring chills. 

I did some stretching exercises in the evening that are supposed to help move the stone along. The place where the stone seem to be all day is still very tender, but the pain has lessened as of Sunday night about 10 o’clock.

I was not able to go to church and preach either service Sunday. I appreciate Pastor John DiZazzo and his folks extending so much grace and mercy to us. We also canceled our three night meeting in Missouri this week.

Now we are figuring out how to get the bus home. We have some people offering to help us, but I hate for anybody to make a special trip. I am praying for a good nights rest tonight and then things will probably look different tomorrow by God’s grace. 

We walked over to the church during the altar service and have the folks pray for us. Praise God for His help. 

Please, please, please pray for us. Kelly Jo began texting people about 7 AM Eastern time and we heard from most of them multiple times in a day that they in their churches were praying. We appreciate that very much.

Sis. Tammy Harris

February 22, 2024

I know that you have been praying for Bro. Alan and Sis. Tammy Harris since the horrible car accident Sis. Tammy was in July 2. The doctors gave her absolutely no hope of survival, yet she kept surviving. 

She still had very many things wrong with her recently, but they sat her up on the edge of the bed a couple times, she has been communicating regularly with her family plus she had several positive physical developments. There was hope, real hope for Sis. Tammy

Tuesday morning sister Tammy seemed to be doing really good. A few moments later she was gone. The doctors have no explanation at the moment, except it was probably blood clot.

Please pray for our dear friend, Bro Alan Harris, his sons and their families and the Trinity Pentecostal Church in Central city, Kentucky. They need God to help them through this dark valley. 

Thank you for praying for them and their many friends the next few days.

I Really Do Not Have Any BAD Problems

Note: There will be two posts tomorrow. The first at 6:00 AM with A Word For Wednesday and a second post later in the morning with pictures from Tuesday night of Dryden Rd.

Since Sunday I have been weeping over the situations some of my friends are facing. I thank God for a burden to weep and pray but I have felt so helpless.

We have dear friends who are struggling mightily under the load of sick parents and others carrying the heavy load of sick children. 

We have friends that are grieving over wayward children and grandchildren. Their hearts are wounded and dreams for their families seem poised to be washed away by the tide

We have more than a few friends in the prime of very productive lives and ministries facing uncertain futures because of health problems out of their control.

Without divine intervention, Sis. Tammy Harris is about to slip into eternity. Bro Alan Harris is about to lose his wife after praying and hoping for nearly two months since a horrible car accident.

 

Bro. Tim Hudson, a great preacher and tremendous man of God, has been fighting cancer in his vocal cords. After many treatments, the swelling and pain have returned. If the cancer is still there, the Doctor is telling him the best option could be to have his voice box removed. This mighty preacher needs a miracle.

And the list of heartache and pain of people we love goes on and on😩😩

My tears that have been flowing the last 48 hours seem ineffective except for two things. 

1. God understands my tears and He knows what those groanings mean when I make no sense. God will remember our heartaches and griefs and will not forget them. David was confident in the midst of his trouble that God remembered his tears and I am too.

2. The tears have brought me to a firm conclusion. The conclusion is this: 

I really do not have any BAD problems. I have thought I was climbing mountains, but there are saints around me that are fighting for their very lives. I have inconveniences in comparison to the sufferings of my friends. 🫣🫣

I am not trying to spread guilt to those of us that feel we really need help. There is no shame in asking for help in our own problems. We are encouraged to pray fervently when we are in trouble ourselves. I will keep doing that.

But I have been freshly awakened to the fact that my friends, my brothers and sisters are suffering in ways I can barely even comprehend. I am determined, as much as possible, to help carry the load of others who are facing difficulties in life far greater than I can ever imagine.

I really do not have any BAD problems. God help my friends!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you for reading.

Prayer Request And Pictures

We captured some pictures from our week and I have them for you today. 

Before I make way for the pictures, I have a serious prayer request. Bro. David Noe is in the hospital in Louisville, Kentucky and Bro. and Sis. Noe are in desperate need of prayer.

Bro, David had a kidney transplant early this year and has been doing good. He has been sick this week and it has gotten serious quickly. Please pray for our friends in this overwhelming situation.

Thank you.

Davy

Update

Thank you for being patient with me today. The normal fatigue that I have felt since the stroke has pretty much beat me up this week. I suppose it is the abundance of activity the last two weeks and it finally caught up with me.

The crushing fatigue affects my balance, strength, stamina and swallowing more than anything. On top of that, sleep has been very hard to come by since the stroke and even worse the last few weeks. 

We have obligations Sunday and next week so I have tried to limit my activity this week with the exception of a little exercise that needs to keep going for stroke recovery. 

We also have online revival service scheduled for tonight as part of our Summer Revival Series. I may let Kelly and Odie sing their hearts out.

Overall, I need the Lord to help me. Would you pray for me? Thank you.

Davy

Continued Fervent Prayer Requested- Sis. Tammy Harris

I received quite a response from you all letting me know you were praying for Sis Tammy Harris in response to the Mile Marker yesterday. Thank you for that. You all are great.

Pastor Alan Harris and Sis Tammy Harris in late February 2024 at Odie’s house. 

As I mentioned yesterday, Sis Tammy Harris had a horrible car accident on Tuesday afternoon. It was about 48 hours later, Thursday, when we left the hospital in Evansville Indiana and started for home. We were in the room with her along with brother Alan Harris right before we left.

The Lord met us sweetly as we quoted scripture, prayed and sang. Sister Tammy looked at us with her eyes open, nodding slightly but repeatedly as we talked with her, showing definite signs of understanding and communicating. She also was squeezing my hand.

They are mostly keeping her sedated and she is on a ventilator and it looks like a couple dozen machines, so we were very thrilled to see a few minutes of awareness and consciousness. Feeling the presence of the Lord with brother Alan and sister Tammy made it a little easier for us to go home. We hope to go back soon. 

The doctors have fixed many bones and worked on her extensively internally, and there is much, much more to do internally and with broken bones. The doctors are very adamant in warning the family and all of us that she is by no means out of the woods yet. 

Please, please, please add Bro Alan, Sis Tammy, their church in Central City Kentucky and their families to your prayer list. These are wonderful people and some of our dearest friends. Thank you for praying.

By God’s grace we still plan to have revival service tonight live from Odie‘s house at around 8 PM eastern time. I hope you can join us. Thank you for reading today.

Please Pray Today

Bro. Ricky Boler is scheduled this morning for surgery to have the cancer removed. The doctors are hopeful the cancer can be removed and that will be the end of it. 

We are praying toward that end result and I am asking you to join us in that prayer. We are believing God to help our friend. 

Bro. Ricky had some major things to get accomplished in relation to his business before surgery and being down for a few weeks. He has been working like a borrowed mule for 10-12 days. I feel for my friend and I want to see all this go well. 

May God bless you for praying for Bro. Ricky Boler. 

Thank you for reading today.

Our View Out The Window 5/26/24

Please pray for Missionary David Lloyd and his family and State Representative Ben Baker and his family and the Montis family in Haiti. Davy and Natalie Loyd were killed two nights ago along with a faithful Haitian man in the Lloyd’s mission work Jude Montis. 

We can only imagine the pain and heartache these families are experiencing right now. We know that the Lord is our only comfort we are asking him to comfort our friends, brothers and sisters. 

Our View Out The Window 

Prayer And More For Friends

KJo and I are on a mission. A mission rooted in friendship. 

Bro. Ricky Boler from White Plains Holiness  Assembly near Sebastopol, Mississippi was told recently that he has cancer. They want him to have a major surgery sooner rather than later. 

He has the responsibility of his family, his business and the church. Adding in cancer surgery is more than he can juggle right now.

I can only imagine the emotional weight and turmoil.

He asked me to consider coming to the church the next three Sundays and the two Wednesdays in between to lift part of the load. I told him we would pray. 

I went to my study to pray about it and decided to send a text to a few of my mentors and closest friends and ask their opinion. I wrote the text, read my own words and answered my own question. 

It is if the Lord spoke to me and said, You do not need the leading of the Lord to be a friend. That was all it took and we have been working this week on getting things ready to go.

I had weekends scheduled and I needed to make arrangements with those pastors to move those dates to the future. They all understood and were gracious to me. I do appreciate that very much. 

I had committed to myself that I would not travel that far this summer and physically it is probably not the best thing for me. So we are traveling as gently as possible and praying. 

We traveled Thursday, we will travel today and perhaps even finish up this evening. If I can be wise, I will finish it up on Saturday.

Please pray for Bro. Ricky Boler, Sis. Tanya, the rest of his family and the church. Also pray for us that we would be filled with strength and anointing for the task ahead. 

Once we arrive and get through the first Sunday, we should be able to rest up some next week if all goes well.

Thank you for reading and thank you for praying.

35% of Normal, 1000% Better Than My Lowest

I am super glad we made the quick trip to Kentucky on Sunday but I definitely feel the effects of it.

This video has the information from this Mile Marker and Wednesday's too.

I mentioned yesterday that last Friday was an evaluation day in physical therapy and occupational therapy. They need to grade the patients once in a while to justify to the insurance the need to continue therapy or to determine if therapy is no longer needed.

Many of the things that were required, were duplicates or similar to things they tested on the first day of outpatient therapy January 19. They were happy to find that I had improved on every measurable goal. I was pretty happy myself!

Praise God!

Even though I have room for much improvement in my balance, walking, dexterity and speech; all these areas are tremendously better than before. That is a super reason for thankfulness. 🙌🏽🙌🏽

The main areas that need to improve now are the numbness that remains on my entire right side and the strength and quality of my speaking and singing voice.  

Also, even though I am able to swallow and consume enough calories to keep me going. There are many normal foods that I cannot eat yet. I am so thankful to be swallowing but I would love to be completely recovered in that area.

I really appreciate you taking time to pray about those three things especially, in addition to all the other areas. We hear from some of you regularly and we know that you are taking these things seriously in prayer and we appreciate it very much.

I am grateful for the inquiries we receive asking when we might be able to return to our regular schedule on the road. I wish I knew the answer with certainty to that question, but the reality is, there is no way that I can know. There are heaps upon heaps of things I need to do to roll that wagon.

I feel like I am about 35% of what I was when I went to bed on the bus on December 28. Yet I am 1000% better than I was when I transferred into ICU late at night on December 29. 

35% of Normal, 1000% Better Than My Lowest

35% means I am a very long way from being able to do all my duties to keep us traveling, singing and preaching. I have had so much fun the last many years that I have made it look easy, but it does not look easy from where I sit right now.😍🤣

1000% means I am incredibly and amazingly improved from where I was immediately after the stroke. I give the glory to God and the people He used to bring me to this point. Hallelujah! There is no God like our God!🙌🏽🙌🏽

That is an honest assessment of where we are right now. I am here by God’s grace and every forward step I take will be by his grace as well. I know God can pull me through IF I can stand the pulling. 

I have purposed to do my part and I have faith that God will do His part. I am working hard like all the progress depends on me and I am trusting, believing and praying like all the progress depends on God!

I have determined with the wise counsel of mentors and friends, that I am not going to rush this. When I am ready to go there still be work to do.

Thank you for traveling along with us. We need you.
