Weekend Woundup and Weview 12/31/2018

I hope you are ready for a long post with lots of pictures. It is time for the weekend report that goes back into the week a bit. 

Wednesday we had a warmish dry day in the forecast and I took advantage of it. I spent a couple of hours checking air in the BoggsMobile tires and putting new batteries in the tire pressure monitors. Then we cranked up and took the bus for a test drive. I was having a little air issue when we arrived home from Tennessee and I wanted to test it out.


Everything tested out fine. I emptied the holding tanks and then Kelly Jo pulled the bus back into the barn. Then we had our Christmas dinner at Odie's house that I already told you about.


Thursday Bro. Jared Burris and Emily, JC, Gunner and Grant stopped in at Odie's for a visit. It was wonderful to spend a little time with our dear friends.


Thursday night we were blessed to be at Dryden Rd. and hear Bro. John Gabbard preach!












Friday was a full day of preparation. KJ did laundry and prepared the bus to roll inside. I had taken all the sound equipment out of the bus before we went to Nigeria. Friday I sorted all of that and put in what we needed for the weekend. Kelly Jo worked right up until bedtime.

We did take time to drink a little salsa with Kelly Jo's parents and my parents. We see all of them way too little so we always have time for them. Kelly and her Dad did a little pickin' and grinnin' too.









Odie and Lisa had time for some Skyline!



Saturday we were loaded, cranked, hooked up and rolling by a few minutes before 7:00 AM. We had a very smooth trip and 4 1/2 hours later we were pulling into Trinity Pentecostal Church near Central City, Kentucky to conduct a Planning and Vision Service in preparation for tent revival this coming summer. It was a tremendous service, but first, we had an awesome lunch and wonderful fellowship with our friends.



Did I mention that Steve and Karen are with us this weekend? We are super stoked to have them riding shotgun for a few services.


They also helped us load in sound equipment and get our sound check.












It was a great night all around and we are looking forward to Tent Revival in Central City!

After church, we loaded up the BoggsMobile and turned east toward Hodgenville, Kentucky. 100 miles later, we were pulling into our old familiar home at HPC. It was great to be with our friends again. 

Sunday was the 5th Sunday in the month of December and that brings a special day at HPC. They have one big service on Sunday morning and then a great big dinner. Both the service and the dinner were awesome! 

Here are a few pictures of our Sunday.



























I was having a few problems with one of my speakers during service so Sunday afternoon I spent some time trying to work that problem out while we were tearing down the equipment. We spent the evening visiting with Bro. and Sis. Webb and their family. It was a super great day!
 











That wraps up our weekend. Today we plan to drive to West Harrison, Indiana. We are scheduled to wrap up the year with Pastor Wade Hicks and all of his fine folks. The service begins at 8:00.

Thank you for reading.

The View Out The Front Window 12/30/2018

This has been our view out the front window in the barn at the Lazy OD Ranch.



This was our view out the front window at Central City, Kentucky.



This is our view as we parked a few minutes ago in Hodgenville, Kentucky.

I hope you have a super great Sunday.

Orange Hands

Hey Friends,

This is Odie reporting in from a moving BoggsMobile. We are Kentucky bound this fine Saturday morning. Please come and join us in service tonight in Central City, Kentucky, tomorrow in Hodgenville, Kentucky or Monday in West Harrison, Indiana. Come be with us to find out who we have tagging along for a couple of days. We have two special guests this weekend. I know that it will be a fun filled 3 days. 

Today I have a very funny and embarrassing story to tell you! It has been a while since I shared something embarrassing about myself. This certainly qualifies. 

Last Friday we went to eat a special Christmas dinner with Uncle Steve and Aunt Karen. You can read about that dinner here.



We visited one of my favorite restaurants, Rodizio. It is definitely a very nice place and special a treat to eat there. I consider it more of an upscale establishment. 

Well, you can dress me up and take me to a fancy restaurant, but I will most likely do something crazy. We went into this dimly lit restaurant and found our table. Mom retrieved her hand sanitizer and I reached for my water enhancing drops. 



In true “Odie” fashion I picked up the orange water drops thinking it was hand sanitizer and liberaly applied it to my hands! I immediately realized my mistake and re-sanitized my hands, but the damage was done. We all had a good laugh at my blooper.😂

The restaurant was dim, but not so dim that I could not tell the difference between hand sanitizer and orange flavoring. I have no excuse for that. 

But it was dim enough that I could not see exactly what was going on with my hands. After a lengthy meal, I went into a bright restroom to find my hands were still very orange. I had to scrub my hands a few times to remove all of the orange color, over the course of a few days. I did not allow pictures of my hands.😑

The moral of this story:
1. Make sure that you really have the correct product before pouring it on your hands. 🤦🏽‍♀️
2. Water enhancing drops are good for water but they DO NOT double as hand sanitizer. 
3. Also, I have not tried this, but I highly doubt hand sanitizer doubles as a water enhancer. I do not recommend trying it. 😀


Well, I hope this story has caused you to laugh and brightens your day. Thank you for visiting with me here. I hope you have a fantastic weekend. See you in 2019. Stay tuned right here. I know that I will have more crazy happenings next year.
