Keystone Lake, West of Tulsa, Oklahoma

I mentioned earlier that Pastor Joseph Snow and the Hale Station Church parked us in a campground at Keystone Lake last week. It was a great place to park and we enjoyed it very much. It is unusual in my experience for a state park to have big level spots with 50 amp electric service but Oklahoma appears to be above average in that department. It sure was quiet at night and the lake was very nice.

Since we had Friday off and Odie was gone to Ohio, Kelly Jo and I did as little as possible all day long. We concluded the glorious day with an evening sitting by the BoggsMobile watching the sun go down.  Now I realized the sun goes down "nearly" every day but since we are either in church or getting ready for church "nearly" every day, we do not get to see the event very often.  Even more rare is the day when we are off, the sun is going down, Odie is away and we actually have the gumption to drag the chairs out and watch the sunset.

So for the first time since last August in Montana (That I can remember) out came the chairs, the sun went down and we watched it all! We even broke out a bag of charcoal we have been carrying around for over two years and grilled some hot dogs. Throw in some cheese, bread, ketchup and mustard and we had a pretty good little snack. I know a steak would have been better but that would have required some advanced planning and that is something we refuse to do on a rare day off. Out with the plan and away with the schedule on a day off.  That is a rule we try to live by!

It was beautiful and relaxing. We need to do that more often. 

God Bless,
Davy

Pastor E. Ade Shobanke

Bro. Shobanke Ministering At Hale Station Pentecostal Church
May 24, 2011

Bro. Shobanke and Davy

Shobanke
We were blessed to visit with Pastor E. Ade Shobanke from Nigeria for a few hours on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. We picked him up at the Tulsa airport on Tuesday and he was in church with us at Hale Station that night.

God used Bro. Shobanke during the service and I think everybody there was blessed. I know that God ministered to our family in a very special way. It was so good to see him especially since we had not seen Bro. Shobanke since our last trip to Nigeria in December 2009.

For new readers, Bro. Shobanke pastors a church in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria, Africa. He is a man of faith that God has used mightily in Nigeria for many years. He tries to come to the states every year and he is always a blessing in each church he visits.

You can read more about Bro. Shobanke by going to the Missions-Nigeria page on the tab above. We thank God for such a friend.

God Bless,

Davy

Double Big Daddy - Ron's Hamburgers & Chili



When we arrived in Tulsa last week we met the Snow's at the campground at Keystone Lake and parked the BoggsMobile. The next stop? You guessed it! The next stop was Ron's Hamburgers and Chili. In fact, one of my favorite Ron's is the one in Sand Springs and that is where we went. Bro. Snow had the cheeseburger and sausage covered in chili and I had the Double Big Daddy! Of course regular readers already knew what I ordered. lol

The picture below is of Bro. Snow's feast and the next is mine. The discriminating eye will notice, no doubt, that the second and third pictures are not of the same Double Big Daddy. You see, this is not McDonald's, Wendy's or Burger King. If you have seen one Big Mac or Whopper you have seen them all, but no two Double Big Daddys are alike. lol

The second Double Big Daddy is the one I ate when Kelly Jo and I went back on Friday.  What a way to start AND end a work week!

The last picture is included just for my Mother.  I want her to know that I am still cleaning my plate exactly as she taught me over 40 years ago.  There is no telling how many starving children in China that I have helped by cleaning my plate!

I am suppose to be back in Tulsa next week.  You all want more Ron's pictures or have you seen enough?

God bless,
Davy




This Picture is for you, Mama Bear!
