We did as much of nothing as we could squeeze into one day on Saturday. We determined to try to rest some on these days between revivals and I think it is helping. We start revival this morning and I feel as ready to go physically as I have in several weeks. Praise God.

My Dad got a good report from the blood doctor on Friday. The blood levels that were out of line are back down near acceptable range. Praise God for that too. If things continue in the right direction then the doctors may be scheduling surgery again soon. Thank you so much for praying for him.

Please request prayer for Bro. Marty Millikin today at church. His surgery is scheduled for Monday morning. We are believing God for a miracle in his body. We know that God is able to help him.

Saturday night we went to Berry's Seafood in Magee, Mississippi with Pastor Kenny Morris, his wife Sis. Joan, Bro. Scott Morris and his family and several folks from the Ellisville church. It was so wonderful! Bro. Kenny and Sis. Joan took us there last year before revival and we enjoyed it so good we were glad to go back again. Berry's sets out an abundance of fried oysters, shrimp, frog legs, steak, gumbo and so much more. The dessert bar is absolutely huge. I did not have any dessert but everything else was delicious.

I hope you all have a great Sunday in church.

Here are a few pictures from last night.

Wild Game Supper - Ellisville, Mississippi

Make sure you read the update on Bro. Marty Millikin from yesterday.

Friday we made the short trip to Ellisville, parked the BoggsMobile and worked on our appetites for the Wild Game Supper. The event was a fund raiser for the Christian school at First Assembly and it was a great success. The weather was rainy and very stormy but the people came anyway. The tables were loaded down with all sorts of wild game and lots of other food and everybody had plenty to choose from.

Everything I ate was very good. Some folks refuse to eat anything wild but nothing tasted or smelled bad or wild at all. Two of the new foods that I tried were beaver and nutria. I will let you Google nutria for yourself. It was fine and tasted like chicken, of course.

We have had alligator several times but it has never been as good as the first time when John Brown fried it for us fresh in Florida in 1993. Last night it was that good or better. I could not keep my hands out of it as they were frying it but the grilled was excellent too.

Pastor Kenny Morris, Andy Stringfellow the school administrator and many of the folks worked so hard to put on this supper. The men have been hunting and trapping and several men and women cooked all day Friday. All their hard work paid off. I would say it was a great success.

I appreciate them inviting us to be here for it and I am glad we could arrange it. We had great food and wonderful fellowship too. Odie stayed in Richton and rode up to Ellisville with Bro. Scott and Sis. Kim. After the supper Bro. Scott carried all of my sound equipment into the church and had it all set up before I knew anything about it. All I had to do was sound check. Bro. Scott is a real "holy roadie!" Thanks Bro. Scott. You got me on that one!

We start revival Sunday morning so today is rest, visiting with friends and preparing for revival. I hope you enjoy the pictures. After you Google it, would you eat Nutria?
