The Weekend Dispatch 3/7/22

Friday was another beautiful day in Ellisville, Mississippi with wonderful weather, good food, surrounded by great friends and a terrific service to top it off Friday night. Hallelujah!

In fact, two ladies prayed for salvation and the Lord came near us all in the altar service. I was rejoicing so much that I had a hard time going to sleep until way after midnight. I was overflowing in my spirit with the goodness of God to His creation. Wow!

Here are a few pictures I neglected to get in from earlier in the week and a few from Friday.

I had planned Saturday to include a leisurely day of sleeping in and then resting until about noon. Then I planned to fire up the BoggsMobile, do the work of the evangelist, hook up the car and take it nice and slow toward Wilmer, Alabama and Tanner Williams Holiness Church.

Nearly everything went according to plan, except for the sleeping late part of the day. Ugh! Even after being wide awake after midnight, my eyes were open and my mind was running all over the world about daylight. Well, maybe tomorrow will be a day of sleep.

Prepared to roll in Ellisville, Mississippi.

Arrived at Tanner Williams.

Parked

By God's grace, we made it to Tanner Williams, parked, set up and had two wonderful services Sunday with our friends. Covid has kept us separated for way too long and it was super great to be with them again.

Pastor Donnie Williamson and his wife, Sis. Gayla, have been such dear friends to us. We love being with them and their precious people. The whole weekend was super great. We loved every moment of it.

We did not roll our sound equipment up the hill until Sunday morning. It only takes us a few minutes to set up at Tanner Williams. Bro. David Watson hooked us into their system and we were ready to go.

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

You Are Valuable

Hey Friends,

Welcome to another Saturday post. This is Odie reporting in. I am thrilled that you stopped by. It is a pleasure to visit with you for a few moments.

I hope you are doing well. We had a wonderful week in Ellisville, Missippi! The services were excellent and the fellowship with dear friends was fabulous! 

Today the BoggsMobile will take us back to Alabama. We are looking forward to being at Tanner Williams Holiness Church tomorrow! I am excited to be with Pastor Donnie Williamson and our precious Tanner Williams friends again! I know it will be an exciting day!

You Are Valuable

I carry a $2 bill in my wallet. It is not there for a good luck charm. It was a gift from a friend. I recently saw my $2. I remembered the story behind that particular piece of money. 

Bro. James Martin gave me the $2 several years ago. I can not quote his exact words that day, but his encouragement has stuck with me. He said something, to the effect of, keep this as a reminder that you are special, unique and valuable to God.

I want to draw your attention to a Bible verse that stood out to me recently. Sometimes it is good to be reminded that you and I are valuable to God! ‭This nugget blessed me and I had to share it with you. 

We are told that God sees every sparrow that falls on the ground and then he says these precious words, Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. Matthew‬ ‭10:31‬

Hallelujah! God has His eye on me!

I often find myself fretting about the questions of life. How is this going to work out? It is easy to get overwhelmed if I dwell on the questions too long.

This verse tells me not to be fearful! My life is important to God and He is concerned about me at this moment! Odie, God has everything under control! He truly does have a purpose and a plan!

Friend, I am not worth more to God than you. Every one of us is precious to Him. Just remember you are valuable to God today! 

Thank you for visiting with me. I look forward to seeing you again next Saturday.
