Here's a glimpse of the Friday morning service at the Pentecostal
Fire Youth Conference. Bro. Brent Gabbard and Bro. Lloyd Shuecraft
preached this morning. Looking for another great service tonight.

When Your Box Falls Apart

Our home on wheels has two doors. The front door has storage compartments. You can get in that way but it would be quite a climb. There is no inside handle on the front door. The entrance door is about midway back. It may help to know this. 

We came back to the BoggsMobile after lunch a couple of weeks ago and the door wouldn't open. The bolt lock was unlocked and the latch pulled but the door would not open. I lifted Kelly Jo up into the front door and she tried the latch from inside and it wouldn't open. Something was broke inside the door and you can't take it apart from inside the bus.

If the latch had broken while we were all inside we would have been stuck! Kelly Jo would have been going out the window. I was able to take the latch apart from the outside and get the door open. I did not have time to take the door completely apart and I knew I could not buy that latch at WalMart or Lowe's anyway. I decided it was better to wait until I went to Nashville.

We arrived at Prevost in Nashville this afternoon and I took off the inside of the door. The latch was busted and Prevost had one in stock so I closed my eyes and bought it. I am so mechanically UNinclined it is not funny but I had it tore apart, so my options were few. I waded in to see if it could be done.

While I was working I needed a tool that I thought was inside the bus. I was looking for the tool and picked up a cardboard box we keep in a drawer that has a little bit of everything. The box fell apart in my hands and all the contents went to the floor. Wire nuts, staples, tape, screws, washers, screwdrivers, pliers, tape measure, hammer, rope, flashlights wire ties and on and on and on. 

You get the idea? All of it went to the floor. All over the floor! It was a mess! I found what I needed and began to install the new latch. 

To complete the job I had to put on a very small nut on a hard to reach place and I had no tool to tighten it. I could not get it on. Just as I was about to give up, I remembered something I saw in the junk I had dropped all over the floor.

It was a very small crescent wrench a good brother gave me years ago as part of an object lesson. I forgot the object lesson long ago and had no idea where the wrench was until the box fell apart in my hands and the contents spilled all over the floor.

You can see how small it is when compared to a small set of finger nail clippers.

The small little wrench was the perfect tool for the task at hand. I could not have finished the job the little wrench. And that means I could not have finished the job without the box falling apart and everything scattering all over the floor. 

So, the next time you feel like crying or quitting when things fall apart, stop. Look closely at the pieces scattered about. You may find that the very thing you need is waiting there for you among the scrambled contents of that broken box!

Broken boxes, jumbled contents and inconvenient messes may be the very thing you need to solve your pressing problem.

By the way, I did get the door fixed!

Resurrection Sunday!

We are near Jacksonville, Alabama with Pastor Roger Boyd and the
folks at Charlie Penny Rd. Holiness Church. We started Saturday night
and we will be here through Tuesday night.

Sunday services have been great. We are praising God for a risen
Saviour! He certainly visited us in a very special way today. Hope you
all had a great day.

God bless,
Davy

Bro. Dexter Worrell

Bro. Dexter Worrell is our friend and encourager. What an
encourager he is! When we are near home Bro. Dexter is always there
cheering us on with a kind word and usually an offering for Odie.

The last few years he has called me on the phone periodically and
each phone call is a great boost to our morale and spirit. Bro.
Dexter is a praying man and often gives me a helpful word the Lord
gave him in prayer that day. He sometimes tells me of a revival he was
involved in and how many folks were saved or one of the many trials
the Lord has helped him through.

Bro. Dexter is one of many encouragers and friends that God has
placed in our lives. There is no telling how many difficulties we have
overcome, how many dangers we have been spared and how many souls we
have ministered to because of the prayers and kindness of men like
Bro. Dexter Worrell.

I am thinking about Bro. Dexter today because he called this
morning. He asked about revivals, souls being saved, how much I have
been praying, if Kelly Jo was still pretty, about Odie's health and
whether she has found a husband yet. He usually covers these questions
in every phone call. But today he brought up another subject.

He told me his birthday was just around the corner. It is a
special birthday. Special because he will be 85 and because he has
recently cheated death once again. In fact he is not completely well
yet. He told me he would like to receive 85 birthday cards. I would
like to help him reach that goal. We might get him 850!

If you know Bro. Dexter send him a card this week or next. If you
don't know him it wouldn't hurt to send one any way. Kind deeds
motivated by love have a way of coming back around. Wouldn't it be
great to overwhelm him with love on his 85th birthday?

Thank God for friends!

We have had three nights of revival at Harmony Holiness in
Tuscaloosa and it has been very good. This is our first visit and we are glad to be here. Odie will have more pictures and an update later in the week.

Great Music at White Plains!

We arrived at White Plains church near Conehatta, MS to find they
had completely remodled the sanctuary, foyer and bathrooms. It is
beautiful.

The music and services were beautiful as well. The young folks
have an ensamble orchestra that is awesome. Sis. Tanya Boler plays
piano and works them hard and it is obvious the practice is paying
off. Bro. Ricky (Sis. Tanya's husband) plays along on the tenor sax
and does a great job as well.

Although we were only there for two services we sure enjoyed our
short time there. All the folks there are so very kind to us each time
we see them. We love going.

We packed up quick after church Sunday morning and made a FAST
trip to Tuscaloosa, Alabama. We had a good start last night and we are
looking for a great revival this week.

Hope all is well in your world.

Pictures of tires?

I can hear you now. "Must not be much going on in the life of the
Boggs family if they are posting pictures of tires!" But I want the
world to know these aren't just any tires. These are brand spanking
new tires on the front of the BoggsMobile! Tires that were purchased
and mounted as a gift to our ministry and what a gift it is! The
lowest estimate I had received for the two tires we needed was $1740 +
tax!

I knew the front tires would need to be replaced soon but I was
hoping to make them last another year. The tread still looked great
but the side walls had stress cracks from age. The cracks had become
noticably worse the last two weeks so we began to make plans to
replace them.

That is when a family that wishes to remain anonymous stepped in
and made the arrangements for us. I didn't even have to move the bus.
The tire dealer came out to the church and put them on in the parking
lot.

We are praising God for His timely provision and we are asking God
to bless the family that allowed God to use them. Would you help us do
that?

Thanks for your prayers for our family. We closed a great revival
in Ellisville last night and we start tomorrow night in Tuscaloosa,
Alabama. We are preaching & singing tonight & tomorrow morning at a
church near Conehatta, Mississippi.

God bless,
Davy

Hello!
It continues to be a great week here in Ellisville, Mississippi. It has warmed up and has been beautiful. Rain is in the forecast for today.
Its hard to believe Thursday is already here. Only two more nights of revival. Each service has been different, but all have been good. It is just proof that God is in control. He knows what needs to happen.
I need to go for now. The day is ahead of me. Who but God knows what is going to happen? I am anxious to find out. Have a wonderful day!!
