This was our view out the front window early in the week at Hodgenville, Kentucky.

This was our view out the door.

This was our view when we pulled into Dodds Church next to the Lazy OD Ranch very late Tuesday night.

Today we have Homecoming service at Dodds at 1:00 PM. We would love to have you join us.

Thanks for reading.

Golden Celebration Day

Hey friends, this is Odie reporting in today from Ohio. I am posting pretty early for me because we have a big day on tap.

I hope you have had a fabulous week! This week has been fantastic for our family. We  enjoyed attending and singing in two excellent revival services in Hodgenville, Kentucky and the last three nights at Dodds Pentecostal Church. 

Dodds Church is extremely close to home. In fact the church shares a property line with the Lazy OD Ranch.😀 The Lord blessed us with three powerful services so far. It is a blessing to us to see God encouraging Pastor Kelly Rogers and our dear friends and family here.

We are looking forward to  Homecoming service at Dodds tomorrow afternoon at 1:00 PM. You are cordially invited to join us if you are in the area. There is still time to plan on attending. There will be a dinner afterward and you will not want to miss that.

Golden Celebration Day

Today is a special day that we have set aside to celebrate two incredible people and their 50 year marriage. My Papaw and Gran, Danny and Betty Morgan said "I do" in 1967. We are beginning the celebration a little early today!

October 14th 1967

50 years of marriage takes determination, commitment and hard work. It is definitely something worth celebrating. I have been around for way over half of their marriage and I have never seen their love waver. By God's grace they have kept traveling the road together. 

I love my Gran and Papaw so much!  I am proud to be their Granddaughter. I was the first grandchild when I made my grand entrance on their 18th anniversary. (Dad says it was the first and last time I was ever early) It is a tremendous blessing to have grandparents that still love each other today.  God has brought them a long way in the last 50 years. 

I am looking forward to what God has in store for them in the days ahead. I am excited that our family and friends will gather today to commemorate this Golden Milestone that is rarely achieved in today's word. 

So here is a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Gran and Papaw! We all love you very much!

Summer 2016

I will close for now. Thanks for stopping by for a visit. Hope you come back very soon.

Helping Bro. Shobanke Rebuild

I wrote on Tuesday that Bro. Shobanke is going to have to rebuild one of his branch churches in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. 

They had to tear it down because it was about to fall down and hurt someone and possibly destroy their school building. It was a tough thing to do but had to be done.

I have had a few folks ask how they can contribute. That is a good question. It is notoriously hard to get money safely wired to Nigeria. It has been done by people I know but it is risky. I also know people that have wired money through reputable companies and it was never delivered. 

Some of them eventually got their money back and some did not. I refuse to take that chance at this point.

After the second person asked me about contributing, I remembered that a good friend of mine will be leaving soon for Nigeria. I contacted him yesterday and he is willing to deliver whatever offering we can gather for Bro. Shobanke. I must mail him a check on Tuesday August 22nd in order for him to receive it in time to process it and take it with him.

Today is Friday. If you want to help with the expense of rebuilding the church that was torn down, there are two ways to do it. 

1. You can put a check in the mail to Boggs Family Ministries (Address below) and then let us know how much is on the way. 

2. Or you can give through the Donate button on this website.

Whether you send a check or Donate through the website, please let us know it is for the "Nigerian Church". I assure you that 100% of the money will go specifically for that purpose. We will keep none of it and my friend that delivers it will keep none of the money.

Also, Bro. Shobanke is always very diligent about accounting for every penny we give him for a project. I assure you that he will make sure that the money is spent properly for the church rebuild.

Please do not feel pressured to give, that is not my intention to at all. Many of you have commitments that are pressing and more opportunities to give than you can fulfill. Help if you need to, want to and can do it. Whatever you do, please pray for Bro. Shobanke, his Pastors and his people.

May God bless you. Thank you for reading today.
