View Out The Front Window September 14, 2014

It was a great day Saturday and we are looking for a great day today under the tent in Millry. We are having service this morning at10:30 and tonight at 6:00. I am excited. Pastor Lamar Chapman and his folks at Midway have been preparing for tent revival and other churches in the area seem to be excited as well. This is going to be a super week.

We changed our view quite a few times this week. We started in Virginia. 

Then we traveled Tuesday and spent Tuesday night and Wednesday night in a campground.

Look Who Found Us On The Road

Hello my wonderful friends. This is Odie again. I am writing this on Thursday for Dad to post Saturday if we have any signal. We took the tent down Monday evening and traveled Tuesday and Thursday and plan to finish up on Friday.

On Saturday the tent will go up in Millry, Alabama by God's grace. Last year in Millry we had absolutely NO phone signal.  Please pray for me!!  We may have limited wifi. So email might be our form of communication this week. 

We are anticipating a great move of God in Millry.  Last year was hampered by weather but we had wonderful services. Keep us in your prayers. We are praying for clear weather so the Gospel message can be proclaimed and heard.

Tuesday night Dad got a call from Bro. Kenny Morris. We were traveling in different directions through the same city.  Before we passed each other we stopped for a great meal and visit on Wednesday. It was a marvelous time of fellowship with our dear friends!

I love Bro. Kenny and Sis. Joan Morris. Faithful readers know we have been adopted into the Morris bunch. It was wonderful to see part of our Mississippi family!  

In our travels we are blessed to have met many men and women of God. Sometimes you think it might be a "chance" meeting.  Later down the road I look back and see God's guidance in the situation. 

In the summer of 2005 we were scheduled to sing at Paw Creek Ministries campmeeting for the second year. The night speaker was Bro. Kenny Morris and it was our first time to meet him. We quickly formed a bond with Bro. Kenny that week. He told me then, "You will love my family, and they will love you." He was right!!  In 2006 we started meeting the rest of the crew and our bond with the whole family has continued to grow to this day

That "chance" meeting was the providence of God. Thank you Lord for leading us to the Morris family!

We love all you Morris people!  We will see the rest of you soon. 

Have a great weekend!

Odie

Note from Davy Saturday morning:

We did make it into Millry Friday and the AT&T cell signal is just as bad as we remembered. That is to say completely and absolutely nonexistent!!! We do have some Verizon based internet signal so we should be able to send and receive email and post here. We will not have it turned on most of the time so if we do not answer an email right away that is why.

It was hot and humid when we arrived Friday and Kelly Jo and I just about melted while trying to get the BoggsMobile and tent trailer situated. Hopefully, all goes well today and we get finished before the heat of the day. Thanks for always praying for us.

A Crashing Laptop

There was a terrible crash inside the BoggsMobile this week. The blue screen of death popped up on my laptop Wednesday and now it will not boot up. I was working online through an RV Park wifi when everything went crazy. My screen started flashing random pictures and text and the blue screen flashed and then froze on an empty screen. It flashes briefly every time I try to boot it up. I have tried everything in the set up menu with the same result.

The pictures are backed up on an external hard drive. Most of my preaching files are backed up on an external hard drive. However my Quicken files and mailing list are backed up on the laptop hard drilve. I do not know yet if the laptop is really dead or if the information on it can be recovered if it is. I will have to wait until I am in a big city with an abundance of computer geeks.

The financial information can be pieced together with bank records although it will be a huge headache. The mailing list is a whole other problem. We have many hundreds of addresses stored on there including our address list for Odie's On The Road Again newsletter. This list has the mailing address of every church we have been to the last 12 years. 

It is time to put out a newsletter now but it will be delayed. IF we find that the laptop has really went over the rainbow to see Dorothy and Toto then we will put out a call for mailing addresses. That will be a big process.

Another drawback to not having access to my laptop is the blog. Although we do much of the blog on iPhone and iPad apps there are a few things that are much easier on an actual computer. It is difficult to impossible to clean up fonts and formatting on my mobile devices. Please excuse the sloppy appearance while I sort this out.

We are headed into Millry, Alabama Friday and unless something changes we will have no cell phone signal there. If you need to contact us send an email or maybe a smoke signal. We should have some Internet service so we will try to keep posting here.
