What's Up Weekend?

Good Monday Morning, friends!

Look at these mushrooms my parents found. Notice the base of the mushroom in my Mother's left hand. Amazing!


You already know we took a Sunday drive in the BoggsMobile on Friday.



Odie took a picture of this guy flying over.



We parked the bus outside the barn because I wanted to complete a few projects inside the barn over the course of a few rainy days. The weatherman missed his guess Saturday for sure. It did not begin sprinkling until after 5:00 in the afternoon, but I did get a little work done inside.

The landing on the stairway upstairs in the barn has never had a permanent railing and it certainly needed one. First I had to clear the scaffolding and get the platform into the right position. A little figuring here and a little notching there and this is where it ended for the day. Beautiful? Nah, but it is a barn!😎



I will finish the railing down the stairs in a bit.

KJo was helping me AND working on straightening a few things in the barn. Since we built the house, the barn has never been the same. We have a ways to go, including removing house construction debris, but we are on the way. It is hard to keep a place straight when you normally live there only a week at a time.😁

KJo's parents and my parents came for a socially distant visit in the afternoon. We sat outside and drank a little salsa from Acapulco. This is the first time we have seen Kelly's parents since Christmas and the first time we have sat down and visited with my parents since we have been home. It was a good afternoon and it was great to see them all.















I still had one final chore Saturday before revival service. I took Dad's truck to Waynesville to pick up a trailer from my cousin's husband and then to my cousin Gerald's to pick up his tractor. 


Long time readers will recognize this tractor. Gerald stored it here at my barn the first 3+ years we owned the barn. Now it is coming back to the barn for a while for storage and we hope to use it today to remove some fence posts. It is for sale and I would love to buy the tractor and its attachments in the future. We will see.

I was excited to get to "church" Saturday night. We have been remodeling the church each week, but his week we completely relocated the church. At Odie's invitation, we moved right into her living room.




Her living room is at the end of a great room that includes the living room, kitchen, dining room and entryway. While I am singing and preaching, I am looking at the fridge, stove and kitchen table! I can see if Odie has supper on the stove!😅

What a difference a day makes. I spent the day Sunday listening and watching several services. When I stepped outside to walk up to Odies in the afternoon I was surprised at the weather. It was cold, windy, raining and bitter. What happened to spring?



I did have a good lunch though!



Sunday night was singalong night and we had a good time again. We are praising God for His wonderful help! I can barely wait to see what the Lord is going to do in revival service tonight!

Sunday Night we even had visitors sitting in their car outside listening to revival service.





Thank you for stopping by today.

View Out The Window 4/26/2020

We have had a change of view. The BoggsMobile is now outside the barn so this is our view out the front window now.


I have something else to share with you today. I meant to show you this earlier, but it must have escaped me. This is one of the funniest things I have seen in a week or two.


Bahahahahaha! I resemble that remark.

Last Night's revival service


Praise God for Sunday! I hope you have a great Lord's day. Thank you for spending a few minutes of it with us.

A Sunday Drive On Friday

Friday morning we had one thing on the agenda. The forecast was for a beautiful spring day without rain and we wanted to take advantage of it. The BoggsMobile had been sitting in one place long enough and it was time to get it out and let it run. 

We were excited to take a Sunday drive!

When we came home 34 days before, I knew this mess could on a while, but I did not expect the bus to sit this long. I had filled up the tank with diesel about 400 miles before, but if the bus is going to sit long term, I want the tank as full as possible.

My plan was to crank the bus, "Do the work of the evangelist" and then drive to a Love's truck stop about 35 miles away. I was going to Love's for two reasons. One, I get a pretty good discount at Love's and I wanted to do some interstate driving so the bus could open up and run. Everything worked pretty much to plan.

I have an exhaust hose for the bus, but no exhaust outlet on the barn. I hook the end to the muffler and run the end out and put the fan in the door. This keeps the fumes down plenty good enough to let the bus get warm and air up.



On the road again!



There is a happy girl!



We have been parked inside the barn since coming home, but with warmer weather, we decided to park outside for a while. That also gives me space to work in the barn. I have a couple of small projects to complete and the bus was in the way for one of them.



The rest of the day was consumed by practicing and getting ready for church. I am praising God for His help in the service last night. Hallelujah! We are looking forward to a great service tonight and a terrific Sunday.

Revival In Pictures Waynesville, OH 5.0

We have had another great week of revival, but it seems that we do not have as many people pictures to show for it. Odie is falling down on her job I suppose. She is in charge of getting around to all the church folks and taking pictures. She has been pretty much staying home all the time!😀

During revival, KJo and I started taking down the fence in front. We will have more on that later.


The evangelist mowing grass again. What in the world is up with that?😏


Bro. Bruce and Sis. Priscilla having church with us in Oklahoma. It is so good to see Bro. Bruce up and going again. Praise God!


Cousin George Boggs enjoying revival while sneaking in a workout! Pretty clever!


We also have a couple of pictures from our new friends in Brazil, Adrianny and Adson Carvalho.




What? More tacos?







Revival pictures from Odie.







Sis. Bobbie McGee- Ellisville, Mississippi 


We had a funeral this week during revival. My Uncle Wayne Livingston passed away last week at 85 years old. Uncle Wayne was married to my mother's sister, Hulda. He was a fine Christian man and it was an honor to take part in his funeral.

The funeral was at the graveside. Some stood by their cars, some stood at a distance around the perimeter, but most sat in chairs near the grave. Since, the crowd was dispersed and not all bunched under the tent, my cousin ask about providing a little sound so that folks could hear.


That wraps up this week's Revival In Pictures. We plan to have church tomorrow night and over the weekend too at 8:00 PM Eastern. I hope you can join us.

Excuses, Excuses, You Hear Them Everyday

We are all doing well, but time escaped me Thursday. That translates to no normal post today. I should have Revival In Pictures tomorrow. Thank you for checking in with us today.
