Lambert's Cafe and Friends

Sunday night we posted pictures from our weekend visit to Gospel Lighthouse. You can see those HERE.

We started Monday morning a little earlier than we usually would on a day off but we wanted to eat lunch at Lambert's Cafe in Foley, Alabama. It was so cold overnight that I warmed up the engine coolant with the diesel heater before starting the BoggsMobile. It should not be that cold in LA (Lower Alabama) this late in March. It cranked up fine and we pulled into an RV park between Fairhope and Foley about 10:15. I did not check the mileage yet but it was supposed to be less than 50 miles.

After we did a quick set up we went on over to Foley and met some great friends for lunch. Eddie and Larry Dean and Bro. Charlie from Virginia were down in Florida for Bro. Philip Deane's fellowship meeting over the weekend and they all met us for lunch at Lambert's.

The Deane's are some of the best people in the world.  They are also some of the funniest people in the world. We had a blast. Lambert's is already a fun place to eat but it is even better with a great group of friends. We laughed until we cried a few times.

I know we write a lot about friends on this blog but we really have been blessed with a bunch of wonderful friends. I believe that God has strategically placed people in our paths. They have encouraged us spiritually and steadied us emotionally so many times and at just the right times. I praise God for every one of them. 

I believe we should look for opportunities to invest in other people. It is true that we have tried our best to befriend others but God has returned that investment to us over and over and over. We are absolutely rich in friends. A good friend of mine that is now in heaven used to say, "It is not a shame to be poor, it is just awful unhandy." You know what? A little more money would come in handy at times but being "poor" when it comes to friends would be disastrous  Thank God for his blessings to our family in friends.

God bless you all,

Davy

Sunday 3/24/13 In Mobile, Alabama

We had a great first visit to Gospel Lighthouse in Mobile, Alabama. God blessed in both services and we are thankful for the lives that were touched. Bro. Groves has only been pastoring a few months but they seem to be doing great. They had 31 kids in children's church this morning. That is awesome.

We appreciate Bro. Mike and Sis. Rhonda and their folks for being so kind to us this weekend. It was so nice to be with them. May God bless them for their hospitality to our family.

Tomorrow we plan to park in a campground some where around Fairhope or Foley, Alabama. We have not made reservations so we sure hope something is available. The weather is turning much cooler the next several days but thankfully there is no snow in the forecast like there is at home. The weather is supposed to warm up in time for tent revival. Please pray with us that the weather is good.

I hope you all had a great Sunday. Enjoy the pictures from the Gospel Lighthouse.

Travel Day 3/23/13

I posted a bunch of pictures from Forts Lake before I went to bed last night. You can see that post HERE.

I have received some hilarious comments by email and text about THIS POST. You might want to check it out if you missed it.

We had another short and easy travel day today (Saturday). I am convinced now more than ever that short and easy travels days are the best kind. We only drove about 25 miles to Gospel Lighthouse in Mobile, Alabama just a few miles from Allentown Camp meeting.

We had a very late night last night and we rested in this morning quite a bit. It felt so good not to have to get up after 3-4 hours sleep and drive 500-700 miles today. We have done it lots of times before and I am sure we will do it again but I am trying to be wiser in my scheduling. So far, so good.

We made it over here and set up the bus and them Kelly Jo and Odie spent the afternoon and evening having some retail therapy. They ran into several people we know and had a good time. I stayed here and read and did as much of nothing as I could.

They saw some of the young folks from Bro. Russell McDonald's church.

And Sis. Angie and her girls from Fort's Lake.

Tomorrow we will be here at Gospel Lighthouse for both services. Bro. Michael Groves is the pastor here now and we are looking forward to being with Bro. Mike, Sis. Rhonda and their boys. Although we have known Sis. Rhonda since she was a girl, we were blessed to get to know their family better the last few years at Tanner Williams Holiness Church. They served under the Apostle Donald C. Williamson for several years and have now stepped into the place of pastor here. It is our first visit to Gospel Lighthouse but we know some of the folks from going to Allentown Camp meeting.

Monday we are going to find a campground nearby and hibernate a few days. By God's grace we will be putting up the tent for the first time in 2013 next Saturday and we need to take some time to make sure we are as physically and spiritually prepared as possible. We need to be at our strongest in every way during those meetings and these few days will help with that. I do not know where we are parking yet but I am sure we will be blogging at least some.

We had given up our scheduled week off to make up for days we had cancelled to go home. However the revival we had planned this next week had to cancel due to a scheduling conflict so this became our week off. In fact we have moved several things already this year so if you are coming to be with us please check HERE before you do.

Friday we will  move to Citronelle, get the tent trailer moved from Richton, Mississippi and then measure everything for the tent lay out. I want to have it ready when the church folks show up early Saturday morning. Well, at least that is the plan.

Hope you all have a super Sunday.
