Vintage View Vednesday Beams of Light 2008.

I posted yesterday afternoon that Bro. Samuel from the church here is very low physically. It seems he could slip into eternity at any moment. Most of the church folks were there with him and his precious family so revival at Beams of Light has been canceled. 

It is times like this when we are especially glad for the family of God to take their places in support of each other. We are praying for Bro. Samuel and his family and we ask that you join us in praying for them. Bro. Samuel is a tremendous man and a wonderful Christian gentleman. As of 7:00 PM Tuesday evening he was still hanging on. 

Vintage View Vednesday

Yesterday I found some pictures from one of our revivals at Beams of Light in 2008. There are a bunch of pictures of the people and especially the kids. There are all grown now and it is awesome to see them again in 2008.

We were here in June that year, less than three months after we bought the BoggsMobile. We were still in the stage of learning the bus and trying to figure out if things were broken or if we did not know how to work them.

It turned out to be a combination of both.

Deidre was with us that summer and I am glad she was able to meet our friends in Cantonment. That visit was also the first time that Odie rode in a Corvette. That is certainly a milestone.

I hope you enjoy this Vintage View Vednesday. Thank you for reading.

Back to regular programming:

I do not know if we can top making it into the Jackson County Sun earlier this year. That is pretty big. However, we did make the paper for the second time this year. This time it was the Ville Platte Gazette.

The Gazette sent a representative to the very first night of the tent revival in Pine Prairie, Louisiana. Two days later, they published an article on the front page of the Lifestyles section of the paper. They included some pictures from the first night and gave a summation of Tuesday night's sermon and pretty much nailed it.

So I was preaching to a few more thousand people that first night than I thought I was! Pretty cool, the goal is to get the Word of God to the people, right?

You can click on the link to see the whole article in a PDF.

I hope you enjoy. Thank you for stopping by.

Our Weekend In The Rearview Mirror 9/16/19

Three days of rest can be summed up simply. It was retail therapy for the girls, rest and reading for me and lunch one day with dear friends.



Saturday was travel day from Tanner Williams on the west side of Mobile to Beams of Light Holiness Church in Cantonment north of Pensacola, Florida. The route we took was 102 miles and took us a shade over 2 hours.

A travel day, long OR short, requires the same amount of work for Kelly Jo and a lot of the same amount of work for me. However, less driving is good, always good.

Parking at Tanner Williams is always pleasant. It is so beautiful there and we are looking forward to being back there for Homecoming revival in about two weeks. It can be a touch challenging to back out of the parking spot, but KJ has it under control.

I have a short dashcam clip of her backing the bus through the tight spot like a pro, but Blogger says it is too large to load here.

When we pulled into the Beams of Light parking lot, we unhitched the car and saw that Pastor Phillip Deane (Dr. Phil) was waiting on us. We exchanged greetings all around and then he helped us get parked.

After we were parked and hooked to electric, we loaded up with Bro. and Sis. Deane and went for a great meal and even better fellowship. We love these people so much.

Sunday consisted of two more terrific meals, a whole bunch more great fellowship and two wonderful services. Preaching in the building with the air condition blowing cold air almost seemed like cheating after several weeks of tent revival, but I was able to push my way through the guilt.😏

We always love coming to Beams of Light. We have many years of good memories with these dear friends and we look forward to being here every chance we get.

May God bless Dr. Phil and all of these fine folks.

We have tent revival coming up next week in Richton, Mississippi so we will only be here through Wednesday night by God's grace. Come be with us if you can. Services are scheduled to begin at 7:30.

Thank you for joining us today.
