Chillin' In West Plains, Missouri

What a difference a few hours makes. This is Saturday evening.

This is Sunday morning...

Here are a few more pictures from the weekend.

Sunday morning after I had swept some of the snow away so I could walk around the bus.

Here are a few pictures from Sunday evening.

The wind is blowing over 20 mph and it is still moving the snow around quite a bit. We are at 15 degrees right now and headed down to minus 1 overnight according to the latest forecast from the weather guessers. I just happen to believe them this time!

It is way too cold and nasty to ask folks to get out and come to church so no services today at Junction Hill or any other church in the area for that matter. It is just to dangerous to get out. The high Monday is forecast for 9 degrees. So far nothing has frozen on the BoggsMobile and we are thankful for that.

We are having a great time with the Galiher's even if we have not been able to have church. We love being around them any time so we are just "chillin" the time away. There are worse places to be stuck than with super friends, warm surroundings and lots of food!

Stay warm.

Travel Day - Claremore, OK - West Plains, MO

Before we get to the travel update Odie has a few more pictures from our week at Claremore, Oklahoma.

Yes, we will.

We ate Mexican food at Los Cabos Thursday night with the Henegars and Millikins. It was so good. I ordered the chicken fajitas and Kelly Jo ordered the vegetable fajitas and we mixed them. Wow! What a combination. We really enjoyed the fellowship as much as the food.

Then we ate Mexican again Friday for lunch with the Millikins. We love the salsa at Los Aztecas in Claremore. It is not quite as good as the salsa at Acapulco in Lebanon, Ohio but it is still very good in our opinion.

We hated to leave Bro. Jimmy and Sis. Shauna and their precious family but Friday was the day we had to do it. We enjoyed one last meal with them and we were plotting when our paths will cross again. We will be right back in this area for a few weeks soon so hopefully we will be blessed to spend some more time with our dear friends. Continue to pray for the Millikins and the Westside Holiness Church.

We had planned to leave Saturday but there was a possibility of bad weather Saturday so we decided to get out while the getting was good. After lunch I warmed up the engine coolant, cranked the BoggsMobile, hooked up the Green Machine and hit the road about 2:00. We drove about 280 miles and we were pulling into Junction Hill Pentecostal Church by about 6:40.

It was a nice sunny day to travel but it was very, very windy. It bounced us around pretty much the whole trip. Even with both hands on the wheel the wind was jerking us around quite a bit. I would rather drive in wind than snow or ice though.

By coming to West Plains I think we jumped out the ice box and into the FREEZER. The forecast here this next week is not for summer weather at all. Snow Saturday night, snow Sunday, low temperature of -3 Sunday night, high of 10 Monday and the list goes on. Summer is officially over.

We are excited to be back with Pastor Dwain Galiher and the great folks at Junction Hill. We have been here several times through the years and we are always blessed in the services. We are looking forward to seeing what the Lord will do in this revival. It would be nice to start the year with about a dozen people getting saved!

God bless you all for reading. I hope you have a great weekend.

Another Day In Oklahoma

New Year

2013 In Review

I have had a lot of comments in times past in reference to our year in review posts. I think I skipped it in 2012 but I did get around to it for 2013. I have linked to that post above. I hope you enjoy the maps and summary of our travels.

The New Year is officially off and running and winter has set in with a vengeance. These pictures at Westside in Claremore were taken Monday when it was about 35 degrees and sunny. 

Tuesday was in the 50's with sun and wind. Wednesday was in the 50's as well but started dropping fast. This morning (Thursday) it was 11 and felt like 3! That is way too cold for me. We also have a little dusting of snow but at least the sun is shining.

I have some semi critical bus projects going on but the cold has brought a stop to all of that. We will just tough it out until it gets warm enough to survive outside. The best place to be right now is under the flannel sheets with the heat on high. Did I mention that it is cold?

We had a good service last night here at Westside Holiness Church in Claremore. Pastor Darrell Meadow and his folks have been so very good to us through the years. We always enjoy being here visiting with friends and feeling the presence of the Lord. Last night the worship service was great. I know that God was near us. The preaching was not everything I wanted it to be but I tried my best. I am trusting God to give the increase.

We have been receiving New Year's greetings from across the country the last 36 hours. Bro. Shobanke just called me from Nigeria to pray for me as we begin 2014. His prayer was for more grace and more anointing. I say a hearty AMEN to that. I do desire more grace and more anointing. I am going to believe God to gratn that request. May God bless each of our friends around the world and may He bring us face to face with as many of you as possible this year.

Until next time...
