Tent Revival Tuesday and Wednesday

Tent Revival in Richton has been wonderful so far. We have had three great nights with several receiving help in the altar. Below are a few pictures from Tuesday and Wednesday.

One brother would not be contained under the tent and wound up praying in the field.

Homecoming Pictures

I told you there would be a tremendous Homecoming meal at Tanner Williams Sunday and I was absolutely right! Wow! It was so good. I couldn't eat all I wanted since we had to sing after the meal but I managed to shovel a little in...

Here are a few pictures of the Homecoming.

Tent Revival in Richton, Mississippi Day 1

Last night was the first night of tent revival in Richton, Mississippi. Bro. Scott Morris is the Pastor here and he had this bunch fired up last night. He turned the service to us early but they were already having church. The Lord blessed mightily and brought some great victories in lives during the altar service. We give God the glory for the good start.

Bro. Morris and his church are using a friends tent and it was set up when we arrived so our part seemed so easy compared to the previous tent revivals this summer. (Big Grin) We set up platforms and PA and we were ready to go. The tent is in the city park and it is a perfect location. We are able to park the BoggsMobile here as well so that is nice too. We are so thankful for the cooperation of the city of Richton. That is a great blessing. I will try to snap a few pictures of the whole set up later today.

Last night was definitely the coolest night we have had under the tent this year. It was in the mid 50s by the time service was over. The steam coming off the top of my head was a little distracting for some folks. Lol. They have nice heaters under the tent though and it is supposed to be warmer each night.

We had a great treat last night as well. Pastor Joe Diminico from Omaha, Nebraska was passing through the area and arranged his schedule so that he could be in service with us. Bro. Joe is a great friend and we were so glad to see him for a few hours and to be in service with him too. I failed to take a picture of him but he is worshipping in the background in a picture I took of Odie singing during altar service. Maybe I can find an old picture and post it later this week. Thanks for making such an effort to be in church with us Bro. Joe!

There is something really special going on in Richton. Pray that God will have His way in this meeting. God bless you every one.

A Busy Sunday and Tent Revival on Monday

Friday we went back to the Boiling Pot. Friday night after church we had a meal and fellowship and just about everything had shrimp in it. Saturday night the Apostle took us to Catfish Point and I had the AYCE catfish. Every meal was awesome and I don't have a single picture to prove it! You will have to take my word.

Today is a busy day beginning with Homecoming service this morning at Tanner Williams. After a break for a tremendous Homecoming meal we will go back into the church for the afternoon singing. When everything wraps up here we will drive up to the Choc-Wa fellowship meeting where we are supposed to sing and preach Sunday night.

We will come back to Tanner Williams and the BoggsMobile Sunday night. Monday morning we will say good bye to Pastor Williamson and move on up to Richton, Mississippi.

Monday night we will start our last tent revival of the year for Pastor Scott Morris. They have erected the tent in a park in town and have been praying and working in the community. We are expecting God to give us souls in Richton. Will you pray for us?

Yes, it is a busy time but the hour is late and we must win men to Christ while we can. God bless you all.

Tanner Williams Holiness Church

We are having a great time with Apostle Donald C. Williamson and his church this week. Every service has been great and they have been responding to the Spirit of the Lord. The service was especially good last night as God moved among us. We are expecting another good service tonight and a great Homecoming on Sunday.

The folks have fed us well as they always do. For some "unknown" reason it happens every where we go. It might be that I talk about food a lot or it looks like I know a lot about food. But whatever the reason I am not complaining at all. It is wonderful. One sister brought shrimp gumbo for lunch Wedneday and it was delicious. After church Kelly Jo warmed it up and it was even better! I mean WAY better! Wow! It was worth putting in your mouth!

We plan to try the Boiling Pot again today for lunch. I may try something different. I will let you know how it goes. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Blue Ox Base Plate

I installed the Blue Ox Base Plate on the Denali yesterday and today. The Base Plate allows me to hook up the tow bar that is attached to the BoggsMobile. I needed to get it on this week since I'm leaving the trailer in the south. If I had no way to pull the Denali then Kelly Jo would have to follow me. That would not be good. No sense putting her through it or buying the gas.

The Base Plate actually went on pretty easy considering how mechanically UN-inclined I am. I know God helped me. I had to buy a drill bit, an odd sized wrench and a small tube of red Loc-tite and still saved at least $200.

I will try it out on the short trip to Richton, Mississippi on Monday to make sure it is ready for a big jump the next Saturday. Once I hook the lights up we will be ready to roll. I'll try to get that finished next week.

Into the Jungle

First of all, I want to wish my brother Tommy a Happy Birthday today! Have a great Birthday, Tommy!

There is a blog I have been reading for a year or so that I think some of you may find interesting. He only posts about 3-5 times a month but I always look forward to his pictures and the what he has to say. His name is Dave and he is a missionary pilot and mechanic with MAF International (Mission Aviation Fellowship,) serving in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. He serves there with his wife and five children.

Although he is a pilot and normally flies OVER the jungle, Dave and his coworker take an annual hike for a week or two THROUGH the jungle with local guides. This year's trip was their most ambitious. They hiked through areas where it is likely men have not been for many years if ever. Of their three guides only one of them had ever been in any of the remote area they were hiking through. He tells about it in three posts. It is really amazing. Kelly Jo and I loved the posts and the awesome pictures. I believe you may like them as well. Below are links to the three posts. Let us know what you think...

The Boiling Pot

Yep, it is time for the Boiling Pot again. Every time we are in the Mobile area we try our best to include a trip to the Boiling Pot. We have eaten various types of seafood there but we always wind up back at the Overstuffed Shrimp Poboy. The shrimp is so good and they pile them on too! I ordered a Shrimp Poboy in March at one of the "famous" seafood places in Mobile and it had 10 shrimp on the whole sandwich and cost a bundle. 

Kelly Jo orders the half and it has a huge amount of shrimp as you can see.

The whole Overstuffed Shrimp Poboy at the Boiling Pot is 13.99 and has more shrimp than one human "ought" to be able to eat. I'll just leave it at that.

There is one drawback. If you want to drink water as I do they won't give you a water cup. You have to order a drink at full price to get the cup. If I remember to do it, I take my own water. No sense paying $2 for a cup to drink water. That's the only drawback I have found so far.

We may wind up back down there again before the week is over....

A Great Sunday!

I knew it would be hard to go from West Plains, Missouri all the way to Wilmer, Alabama and then be in any kind of shape for church Sunday morning. So I made plans to stop a couple hours short, go to church Sunday morning and then finish up the trip Sunday afternoon.

It proved to be a wise move. Wise moves aren't the most common thing for me but even a blind squirrel gets a nut every now and then! By the time we arrived in Ellisville, Mississippi I was Way ready to stop.

We unloaded the 2000 GMC Yukon Denali (Still not settled on a name), rearranged the trailer (Without the Denali in the trailer all of the weight is in the front) and went to bed.

We had a wonderful service Sunday morning in Ellisville with Pastor Kenny Morris and his folks. We appreciate them allowing us to park for the night and throwing the door of hospitality wide open for us. We will be seeing some of them again next week in Richton Tent Revival. We shared a quick meal at KFC with Bro. and Sis. Morris and then hit the ground running.

We stopped by Richton and dropped the trailer. We will be right back there next Monday so there was no need in pulling it to Alabama and right back. Pastor Scott Morris was so kind to help me with the trailer and make my Sunday a lot easier.

We finished the trip to Wilmer, Alabama and the Apostle Donald C. Williamson was standing outside as the Welcome Committee to Tanner Williams Holiness Church. It is so good to be back.

This is one of our favorite places for many reasons, not the least of which is the warm friendship of Bro. and Sis. Williamson and their people. It is so easy to love folks when they are expressing their love for you and these folks do. The young people always make Odie feel a part of their group and that is special to her.

Another reason, OF COURSE, is the good food. They have great cooks in this church. Next Sunday is Homecoming so I'll be able to "sample" their very best recipes. Also the Boiling Pot is close by and we plan to visit there too. If you haven't been reading the blog long, don't worry I'm sure I'll be posting pictures.

Also the place we park is like our own personal RV Park during the day. It is away from the road and down over the hill behind the church. There are trees, flowers and even a bench to sit on. It is a very special place to park and we love that too.

Another reason we love to come to Tanner Williams is that we always have great church here! Last night was a fine example and we are expecting great things from God this week. Pray that God will have his way among us, will you?

God bless all.

West Plains, Missouri - Ellisville, Mississippi

It's been a long day today. 480 miles and a couple of very tight places for the BoggsMobile and the trailer. We had great weather for travel though.

I'm beat and going to bed. Thank God for keeping us safe on the road.
