White Plains - A few Pictures

We had a great week of revival at White Plains near Conehatta, MS. We enjoyed ourselves so much. We snapped several pictures while fellowshipping after church. Below are a few that survived. Hope you all have a great Resurrection Sunday!

On the Road Again

Spring Showers of Blessings

Odie’s View

From The Back

   Spring is finally here!!!  We are loving the nice weather!  When I last wrote we were thawing out from the “Tulsa 2011 Blizzard.”

   A new season is here and it brought a different type of storm. March 27th, 2011 a severe thunderstorm came through Dothan, Alabama.  The storm produce high winds, rain, hail and possibly a tornado.  Thank God we were not harmed physically but Mr. Cheap Jeep, the BoggsMobile and our cargo trailer  had some hail damage.  The BoggsMobile sustained the most injuries.

   Now for all the news.  Once we were able to leave Tulsa, Oklahoma we headed to Midwest City, Oklahoma.  It was so good to be with Pastor Kenny Searcy and the fine folks at Calvary Holiness Church.  It is definitely a week we will remember.  God proved to us that He still does miracles!!

   Pastor Steve Moore and the congregation at New Mission welcomed us with open arms to Purcell, Oklahoma.  They made it feel like we were coming home.  It was so refreshing to see our friends receive strength.

   The BoggsMobile made the long trek form Oklahoma to Mississippi.  It was an eventful trip.  We were thrilled to make it to Richton, Mississippi, even if it was in two or three pieces.  Despite many obstacles that week, God sent revival to Pastor Scott Morris and his church.  We are thankful for the ways the Lord moved!  See you all in October at tent revival.

   It was a pleasure to be with the awesome people at Tanner Williams Holiness Church for a Sunday.  We are blessed to be able to call Pastor Donnie Williamson our friend!  Already we are looking forward to being back for Homecoming this fall.

   Our home church, Dryden Road, had another family transplanted because of ministry in 2010.  It was wonderful to see Bro. Darius Templeton and family working in Alabama.  We were able to attend their Monday Night Fellowship Meeting in Citronelle, Alabama.  They are doing a great job!

   It was then campmeeting time at Allentown.  Every March there is an excitement in the air when we pull into Semmes, Alabama.  Again this year we received strength from the Lord and food for our souls through the preaching of God’s word!  Pastor Futral and the campmeeting board did an excellent job making sure things went smoothly.

   Thanks to Pastor Jason Merritt for inviting us to Little Rock Assembly!  We enjoyed getting to be with you all in Waynesboro, Mississippi for a Sunday morning service.

   We found new friends at Midway Assembly in St. Stephens, Alabama.  Thanks to Pastor Lamar Chapman and congregation for all of your hospitality! Midway has quickly become one of our favorite places to visit!

   We had a great time singing at Flat Branch Assembly!  Pastor Jim Koen and the church folks treated us so good.

   Then we traveled to Ellisville, Mississippi.  We love being with Pastor Kenny and Sis. Joan Morris. God did some amazing works in Ellisville!  It is a revival we will be testifying about for awhile!

   Mt. Sinai Holiness Tabernacle in Dothan, Alabama is where we were when the storms came. It was an eventful start to our week with Pastor Dewayne Watson.  The rest of week turned out good is spite of the storms.

   We had 5 great services at Lighthouse Holiness Church in Ozark, Alabama.  It was good to be with Pastor William Parr and his folks.  We were also blessed to see several friends.

   We then took time for some much needed R&R.  It was wonderful to catch our breath while the BoggsMobile received repairs to the roof.  We were also glad to see our friends at Beams of Light in Cantonment, Florida.  Pastor Philip Deane and congregation will always hold a special place in our hearts.

   Our current location is White Plains Assembly in Conehatta, Mississippi. We love the Graham family!

   Well, I hear the engine starting so I better go ‘cause we’re On the Road Again.

Note From Davy

On June 5 we begin our Summer of Tent Revivals. We are excited to see what God is going to do in these meetings. We will be joined in the first three tent revivals by the Millikin family. They will be singing along side of us and Bro. Jimmy will be preaching many of the nights as well. In July and August we will have tent revivals in Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky. Please pray that God will move in these meetings. We are believing for a harvest of souls.   Davy

Back to Work and Some Prayer Requests

We ended our time off in a whirlwind of activity which is the way it happens for most of us I suppose. Saturday morning we left Navarre and headed back to the bus in Cantonment. On the way we stopped at WalMart, of course, and fellowshipped with the Deane's over a quick meal at Ryan's. 

Bro. Philip Deane and the Beams of Light church were so kind to allow us to park on their property this week. It is a great place to park and it was a convenient location for the men repairing the hail damaged roof. 

Speaking of the repairs, Jake Parkerson finished the roof of the BoggsMobile during the week we were off and it looks as good as new. I appreciate Jake and his crew (Color Pro Technologies) working so hard and doing such a great job. We were working on a pretty close timeline and they met it with flying colors. It was good to get to know Jake and his family. They are fine folks. 

Kelly Jo and Odie spent the afternoon  unpacking and putting things back in order while I was preparing things to ride outside. Sunday morning we were up bright and early and hit the road. 

We arrived at White Plains Assembly in the afternoon and parked, set up sound and cleaned up just in time for church. The first service was good and we are looking for great things from God this week. 

White Plains is a beautiful church out in the country near Conehatta and Sebastopol, Mississippi. We love coming here and being in church with our friends. Please pray that God will visit us in a special way this week. 

In fact, I have two more prayer requests that I want to mention. 

1. My dad, Eugene Boggs, fell last Tuesday and broke his L1and L4 vertebra. He is in tremendous pain and needs the touch of God. He and Mom are in Florida and were planning to go home last week but he is unable to travel. 

2. My dear friend and missionary, Bro. Larry Landress lost a younger brother this weekend in a senseless tragedy. His whole family is in desperate need of prayer. Bro. Larry will be preaching the funeral. Please pray for Bro. Larry and his family. 

Thanks for praying for our family as well. God bless.

Navarre, Florida - A Week In Pictures 4/9-4/16

We scheduled this last week off and spent it doing almost nothing at all. On Wednesday we drove to Destin and spent a few hours there.  Other than that we were pretty inactive all week and enjoyed every minute of it. Below you will find the pictures to prove it. lol

New Tires for the BoggsMobile - Michelin XZA 2 315 80R22.5

When we bought the BoggsMobile a little over three years ago, we knew it needed tires badly. We even tried to negotiate new tires into the bargain as we were buying. The seller did replace a $3000 part but they wouldn't even consider replacing some of the tires. After we began pricing tires we understood why. The proper tires were at least $800 each and have gone up since. No wonder they chose to replace a $3000 part instead! lol

We replaced the two tires on the tag axle that first summer because they were in terrible shape. Last year in March God blessed us with two much need tires on the front of the bus. That story is Here. I said then that I would like to make the four tires on the drive axle last for another year. The sidewalls have been cracking badly since we bought the bus and I knew they were maxing out on age but they made it.

I have been pricing these tires all over the country and the cheapest I found any where was in Dothan, Alabama at a place called TCI. Last week I took the bus in and in a few hours the tires were mounted, balanced and put on. It was very painful before they let me leave but I praise God for these three things. 

1. God letting the old tires last as long as they did with no failures or blowouts. We have asked him to do this countless times as we drive down the road.

2. TCI giving me a great price compared to everywhere else in the country. I am asking God to bless them for that because it was a great blessing to me.

3. God giving us time and ability to save some of the money so the hit wouldn't be so bad and providing the rest just in time.

We should be ready to go for several thousand miles by the grace of God. Here are some pictures of the progress and one of the finished product after I cleaned up the bus a little bit.

Price of Oil, Diesel & Gasoline

THIS is one of the reasons I can't stand oil at over $100 a barrel. These pictures are from the BoggsMobile's most recent fill up on Thursday April 7, 2011 at Flying J in Dothan, Alabama

I usually put in 150-160 gallons when I fill up but I stopped for fuel a little early this time because my route next Saturday may not take me by a good place to buy fuel. That's the reason I ONLY bought 129 gallons.

We have short memories in America. Oil at $147 a barrel in 2008 is precisely what brought our economy to a screeching halt. Families had to choose between buying gas to go to work and paying their mortgage. Whole companies shut down their operations because the price of fuel took all their profit. The discretionary spending of most Americans was no longer discretionary, it HAD to be spent on gasoline, propane and heating oil. Our strong economy nearly collapsed from the weight of it.

Three years later our economy is still struggling. In some areas there is virtually no new housing market, no new construction to speak of at all. Home prices are still falling in most markets while the price of everything else is going up fast. The price of oil is on the rise again and in my opinion it will not have to rise to $147 a barrel to wreak havoc this time. There is a tipping point some where and I believe it is close.

The really bad part is that our dear president thinks this is good for America. In an appearance last week in Pennsylvania President Obama needled a man who asked about high gas prices and made fun of people who drive big vehicles. The truth is that it takes big vehicles for this country to survive. Big trucks, vans and SUVs are an integral part of our society. They keep products and people moving. We don't need smaller cars and public transportation, we need lower Oil, Diesel and Gasoline Prices.

Well, that's my two cents worth. That's what I had left over after I filled the tank on the BoggsMobile. Lol!!
