The Weekend Dispatch

This weekend was more of a normal weekend with closing revival on Friday, traveling on Saturday and then beginning revival again on Sunday morning. It was a great weekend and we are thankful for it.

We began Friday with a pretty but cool day in Charlottesville. Sis. Sipe drove by with her beautiful VW Beetle. So cute!

Friday night was the final night of revival and what an amazing night it was. We had visitors from several churches in attendance and we were so glad to see them all. God sure has blessed us with some super great friends in the family of God! Odie snapped some terrific pictures. You can see Revival In Pictures here.

Pastor Ronnie Sipe and his people were so kind and good to us. It was our privilege to be with them for a few nights and we look forward to going back.

Saturday morning we raised up from slumber and prepared for the short journey to the House of Prayer in Bristow, Virginia. It was only about 70 miles and took us 90 minutes. There were no traffic problems, the weather was perfect and the BoggsMobile was running great. I love days like that.

Here we are as we prepare to leave Charlottesville

We pulled into the church in Bristow and backed the bus up the hill and unloaded the sound equipment. I appreciate Bro. Clayton Burris for helping me unload. In fact, Bro. Clayton, along with several others, helped us load things up the night before in Charlottesville. Praise God for the help.

After we parked the BoggsMobile, we rested a few minutes and then headed up the hill for set up and soundcheck.

Next, we drove 1/2 mile to Tony's for some of our favorite Italian food in this area. Wow! It was good as always.

We had two wonderful services Sunday to begin revival at the House of Prayer in Bristow, Virginia. We are happy to be with Pastor Ken Taylor and his folks again. We love coming here.

That wraps up our weekend. Thank you so much for joining us. See you tomorrow.

Beware Of The Liquid

Hey Friends,

This is Odie coming to you from the beautiful state of Virginia. We will be in moving around Virginia for our next few meetings. We are looking forward to having a wonderful time here.

Later in this post, I will share a recent funny mishap. Mom gave me permission to tell you this story. It happened during Sunday dinner in Staunton, Virginia, a few weeks. 

Orange Hands

Before telling you the March 2022 story, I need to rewind to December 2018. Do any of you remember my "Orange Hands" embarrassing moment? You can find my original post about it by clicking here. I will give you the shortened version now.

We were eating dinner at a nice restaurant. I grabbed the wrong bottle when I needed my Hand Sanitizer. Instead of the desired Sanitizer, I bathed my hands in my orange water enhancer drops! My hands were dyed orange for a while.

I was thoroughly embarrassed when this happened to me! This incident is something we often talk about and laugh about. Mom jokes with me regularly by telling me that I have used the wrong products again. I will never forget my mistake!

I recently re-read what I wrote about the incident in December 2018. My three points to sum up the moral of the story made me laugh. What I said then is still valid three years later!

1. Make sure that you really have the correct product before pouring it into your hands. 🤦🏽‍♀️

2. Water enhancing drops are good for water but they DO NOT double as Hand Sanitizer.

3. Also, I have not tried this, but I highly doubt Hand Sanitizer doubles as a water enhancer. I do not recommend trying it. 😀

Beware Of The Liquid

Now fast forward to March 2022. It is time to tell you about Mom's mishap. Both incidents gel together nicely and make us laugh!

We were enjoying good Mexican food and fellowship with Pastor Keith and Sis. Gwen May. Our food was served to our table. We were engrossed in conversation and elbow deep in food. 

The waiter refilled our drinks. Mom then needed to add Liquid Stevia to her unsweet tea. Here is a picture of what she meant to add to her drink.

That may have been what she reached for, but she grabbed the Hand Sanitizer bottle. She realized it after squeezing the Sanitizer into the tea. Mom said she thought that it was thicker than usual. 

That was the moment she realized her mistake! I am thankful she did not take a big drink after adding the wrong thing. The waiter quickly brought her a fresh glass of tea. I promptly removed the Sanitizer from the table. We all had a big laugh about the mishap!

Here is the moral of this current story.

1. Make sure you have the correct product before pouring it into tea. 🤦🏽‍♀️

2. Liquid Stevia is meant to make drinks sweet when used correctly. Hand Sanitizer is made to clean hands and surfaces. 

3. Both products are clear in color, but they are absolutely NOT interchangeable!😀

4. Always keep sanitizer and drink enhancers separated! 

Have you had any crazy mishaps like us? We would love to hear from you! Thanks for visiting with me.
