Sis. Tammy Ferguson

I have pictures from City Reach and from taking down the tent that need to be posted this week, but today we have a sad note concerning a beautiful friend. God really touched our friend Sis. Tammy Ferguson on Friday and Saturday in Atwater and Sunday at Riverdale. Sunday night she slipped into eternity while sleeping. All of her friends and family were shocked with the news Monday. Sis. Tammy was a dear friend to all that would allow her to get close and she will be dearly missed.

Making it harder to believe but possibly easier to accept, is the fact that we had her near us for two days and nights at City Reach Atwater. She came to visit us in Atwater early Friday afternoon and stayed with us until after church Saturday night. We had a wonderful and blessed visit with our friend the last weekend of her life.

It was a special time for us and a very special time for Odie and Sis. Tammy. I teased her all weekend about us being hesitant to allow Odie to ride in the car with a "teenager." She was fun to tease and could give it right back with the best of them. Odie had planned a post for next Saturday about their time together. Here are a couple of the pictures from her visit.

As Sis. Tammy was leaving she came to the front Saturday night and made sure that each one of us had a very personal word of encouragement and love. We begged her to stay over for Sunday but she was anxious to be in her home church Sunday morning. With final hugs and final "I love you" all around, she left us.

Sis. Tammy was so gracious to our family and she really took care of Odie whenever we were around and kept in touch with her even when we were away from California for months at a time. She was a thoughtful, kindhearted friend and an exceptional lady. Please pray that God gives comfort to all of her friends, her family and her church family.

Odie will have more on Saturday.

We will miss you, Sis. Tammy!

Update: Sis. Tammy's funeral arrangements have been announced. Her visitation will be at Riverdale Asembly of God in Riverdale, California Thursday from 5:30-8:30 and the funeral will be at the church on Friday at 1:00 PM.

Also, Sis. Tammy came bearing gifts when she visited City Reach last weekend. She brought the girls beautiful scarves and she brought me this plaque.



She was so thoughtful!

#20 Weekend Woundup and Weview

I love my Thesaurus but it has been failing me lately. I must come up with some new words to describe things before you all think I am in a rut and simply copying and pasting the same weekend reports over and over again! There is merely no other way to describe this past weekend other than Wow! Wow! Wow!

It has been amazing to watch God work in City Reach Atwater with Amazing Grace Holiness Tabernacle and their community. We are so thankful for the things God has done and the lives that God has touched! Wow! Praise God!

I plan to post more pictures from City Reach from the road tomorrow but I have added a few from the weekend to today's post. It has been a wonderful weekend of church, fellowship, food and new friends. A few pictures can not do it justice. I guess you will have to take my word for it.

The services wrapped up last night and the tent came down soon afterward. 



The tent is now packed away and we have only a few last minute things to prepare before cranking the BoggsMobile and Bro. Jimmie's rig and pointing toward the east. By the time most of you read this, we should be well on our way, by God's grace.

Depending on our routing we have between 1600 and 1700 miles to travel over the next three days or so. That should keep me and Bro. Jimmie pretty busy. Please pray for safety, good weather and good running equipment. I really appreciate it.

Speaking of praying for weather, please pray for good weather in Texas and Oklahoma over the next month. God is able to help us with that and I desire you to ask Him to do so.

Thanks for reading, friends.

Weekend Woundup and Weview

Our view is pretty much the same this morning as last Sunday morning but that is fixing to change. We plan to take the tent down tonight after church and hit the road Monday morning. We should have several different views out the window by next Sunday morning.

Thank you for praying for City Reach Atwater. We are expecting one final great night under the Blue and White Gospel Tent tonight before moving to Ft. Worth and doing it all over again.

Thanks for reading.
