Back to Work and Some Prayer Requests

We ended our time off in a whirlwind of activity which is the way it happens for most of us I suppose. Saturday morning we left Navarre and headed back to the bus in Cantonment. On the way we stopped at WalMart, of course, and fellowshipped with the Deane's over a quick meal at Ryan's. 

Bro. Philip Deane and the Beams of Light church were so kind to allow us to park on their property this week. It is a great place to park and it was a convenient location for the men repairing the hail damaged roof. 

Speaking of the repairs, Jake Parkerson finished the roof of the BoggsMobile during the week we were off and it looks as good as new. I appreciate Jake and his crew (Color Pro Technologies) working so hard and doing such a great job. We were working on a pretty close timeline and they met it with flying colors. It was good to get to know Jake and his family. They are fine folks. 

Kelly Jo and Odie spent the afternoon  unpacking and putting things back in order while I was preparing things to ride outside. Sunday morning we were up bright and early and hit the road. 

We arrived at White Plains Assembly in the afternoon and parked, set up sound and cleaned up just in time for church. The first service was good and we are looking for great things from God this week. 

White Plains is a beautiful church out in the country near Conehatta and Sebastopol, Mississippi. We love coming here and being in church with our friends. Please pray that God will visit us in a special way this week. 

In fact, I have two more prayer requests that I want to mention. 

1. My dad, Eugene Boggs, fell last Tuesday and broke his L1and L4 vertebra. He is in tremendous pain and needs the touch of God. He and Mom are in Florida and were planning to go home last week but he is unable to travel. 

2. My dear friend and missionary, Bro. Larry Landress lost a younger brother this weekend in a senseless tragedy. His whole family is in desperate need of prayer. Bro. Larry will be preaching the funeral. Please pray for Bro. Larry and his family. 

Thanks for praying for our family as well. God bless.

Navarre, Florida - A Week In Pictures 4/9-4/16

We scheduled this last week off and spent it doing almost nothing at all. On Wednesday we drove to Destin and spent a few hours there.  Other than that we were pretty inactive all week and enjoyed every minute of it. Below you will find the pictures to prove it. lol

New Tires for the BoggsMobile - Michelin XZA 2 315 80R22.5

When we bought the BoggsMobile a little over three years ago, we knew it needed tires badly. We even tried to negotiate new tires into the bargain as we were buying. The seller did replace a $3000 part but they wouldn't even consider replacing some of the tires. After we began pricing tires we understood why. The proper tires were at least $800 each and have gone up since. No wonder they chose to replace a $3000 part instead! lol

We replaced the two tires on the tag axle that first summer because they were in terrible shape. Last year in March God blessed us with two much need tires on the front of the bus. That story is Here. I said then that I would like to make the four tires on the drive axle last for another year. The sidewalls have been cracking badly since we bought the bus and I knew they were maxing out on age but they made it.

I have been pricing these tires all over the country and the cheapest I found any where was in Dothan, Alabama at a place called TCI. Last week I took the bus in and in a few hours the tires were mounted, balanced and put on. It was very painful before they let me leave but I praise God for these three things. 

1. God letting the old tires last as long as they did with no failures or blowouts. We have asked him to do this countless times as we drive down the road.

2. TCI giving me a great price compared to everywhere else in the country. I am asking God to bless them for that because it was a great blessing to me.

3. God giving us time and ability to save some of the money so the hit wouldn't be so bad and providing the rest just in time.

We should be ready to go for several thousand miles by the grace of God. Here are some pictures of the progress and one of the finished product after I cleaned up the bus a little bit.
