Christmas with the Steve Boggs Family at J. Alexander's

Steve, Deidre, Karen, Odie, KJ, Victor and Isaac in the front.

Steve, my oldest brother and his family take care of our mail all year long and have been doing it for nine years now. We have our mail sent to a P.O. Box in Waynesville. They collect it and then forward it to us some where across America about every two-three weeks. Mail day is one of the simple things in life that brings me pleasure so it is great to have somebody trustworthy and dependable to take care of it for me. Steve also takes care anything else at home that requires personal attention. He is a huge help to us!

When we are home around Christmas we take Steve and his family out to eat in appreciation for the time, trouble and money the use taking care of our mail and various other things. Eight out of the last nine years we have went to J.Alexander's. It is a regional (I just discovered that they have a lot more locations than they use too.) restaurant that specializes in good steak and it is tremendous. The food is great and the service is about as good as you will find anywhere.

We went Monday night and had lots of food, fun, fellowship and frivolity. We love being with Steve and his family. The food was awesome as usual and it was a good time all around. 

I want to say publicly to Steve that I appreciate all that you and your family do for us to make it easier for us to remain on the road and fulfill our calling from the Lord. Thank you very, very, very much. I am already looking forward to next Christmas!

Oops! Schedule Change...

What do we always say when we publish our schedule in the Newsletter?

All These Dates Are Subject to Change (Like Maybe Tomorrow)For Our Full Schedule Please Check Our Website www.davykellyandodie.com

Well, as often happens, we send out the Newsletter and the schedule does just that... it changes!


We knew this change was a possibility but we couldn't wait any longer to get the newsletter out. Since this change falls within the next month I felt like I should make folks aware of it just in case somebody wanted to visit revival.


We will also be doing a singing on January 28th in the Tulsa/Broken Arrow area for Bro. Rich along with the Crafton Trio from Joplin, Missouri. The location has not been determined yet so call closer to the date for more info. I will try to update the information on the blog when it becomes available.


God bless you all...
Davy

Bro. Ray Driscoll

Our Dear Friend Bro. Ray Driscoll

I have known Bro. Ray and Sis. Beulah Driscoll all of my life. For many years they attended the church I was raised in and some of my earliest memories include Bro. Ray, Sis. Beulah and their family. They have been Godly examples to me and countless others. They were always kind, gentle and good. They set a great example of faithfulness, loyalty and prayer and loved going to the house of God. They also personally encouraged Kelly Jo and I at crucial times in our life experiences and we will never forget it.

Bro. Ray has always been playful and in the picture above taken at Dryden Rd. Campmeeting in 2007 you can see his mischievous smile. He loved to pick on Kelly Jo. He would call her "trouble" when she told him often she was going to sit on the front row with him. That is probably the conversation that preceded the picture above and the cause of the smile. He lived fully, loved well and laughed often.

Bro. Ray has struggled with his health for several years but he and Sis. Beulah kept right on going to church, revivals and campmeetings. Bro. Ray insisted on going to church the Tuesday night before Thanksgiving at Dryden Road. The following day Bro. Ray loss the use of his legs and was confined to bed. I know he was glad he went to church on his last opportunity. Friday morning December 16th about 7:00 in the morning Bro. Ray left Sis. Beulah and made his way HOME.

Bro. Ray and Sis. Beulah have a beautiful family. Please pray for them today, tomorrow during the funeral, over the holidays and then beyond. They certainly need the comfort and help of God right now.

Bro. Ray loved to worship the Lord, dance in the Spirit, leap for joy, read from the Psalms and pray with others in the altar. He absolutely loved church service and being in the presence of the Lord. There is no doubt that Bro. Ray is happy and joyful in the God's presence now. 

We loved Bro. Ray dearly and we miss him already.
