Ozark Bible Institute Overcomers

Update from Odie:

Great news!!!! My Papaw was able to come home this afternoon. He is glad to be home. Thanks again for your prayers. I know he appreciates them. Papaw told me yesterday, when I would  tell him about friends checking on him, "tell them I'm still alive." He needs lots of rest. I may have to tie him down to keep him from over doing it. We are thankful he is on the mend.

The Overcomer choir from OBI were singing again in the area Wednesday night. Aunt Karen and Isaac allowed me to ride with them to the service. I was glad for the chance to hear the choir again.

My cousin Deidre Boggs is in the choir this year. Deidre just completed her freshman year at OBI. I am so proud of her!!! She testified great last night. If you get the chance to see the choir on this tour she is the tall blonde in the soprano section.

Several of my friends also are in the choir. It was so good to see all of them. One family I was glad to see was Bro. Alex and Sis. Jessie Cooper. Both have been my friends for a long time. Now they have the addition of Bodie to their little family. He was was born premature last fall. Bodie is a precious miracle!!!

Here are some pictures from last night.

Hey I thought I'd drop by for a quick howdy. First of all thanks for all the prayers for my Papaw yesterday. Please keep them coming!!! As dad said, surgery was a success, but now the rough recovery progress begins. It is about more than I can stand to see Papaw suffer. I am a Papaw's Girl!!!!!

I did not get pictures of everyone who came to check on him yesterday at the hospital. It was a long day. The picture of Victor sleeping was early in the morning. Many of our family and friends were there throughout the day. Several of our Dryden Road church family work at the hospital. They were there checking on our family and that means the world to me.

Monday night I got to spend some time with my cousin Lisa. Thanks for praying for her too. She is feeling a lot better! She is still dealing with some pain, but we are thankful for progress!!! We enjoyed just chatting over a Frappe on Monday.

Last night I tagged along with my Uncle Steve & Aunt Karen to church. We went to Bro. David Miller's Campmeeting. The choir from Ozark Bible Institute was there singing. Which means I got to see lots of friends. I did not get tons of pictures. I even forgot to get one with Deidre. Hopefully I will see her again before she leaves town.

Two churches from Hawaii were represented at the meeting. They also sang really good. An added surprise for me was getting to see the Martin Family. We are looking forward to tent revival with them in North Dakota.

Well I will close for now.

Pre-order Christmas CDs

UPDATE 4/30/13 9:30 PM
My Dad came through surgery fine this morning. His heart stayed strong and the surgeon was pleased. He is now resting in a room and hoping and praying for a good night sleep.

Thank you so much for praying. Please continue to pray that he has a full and speedy recovery.

Here is just a glimpse of Kelly Jo at work in the studio last week.

If all goes as planned we should have our new CD by August 1. Ben Isaacs and Mark Capps have a lot of work to do on the actual recording and we need to have pictures taken and finish (start) the liner notes. Barring any catastrophes we should have all of that tied up real neatly by mid June. The manufacture usually needs 4-6 weeks so that should work real well.

As I mentioned in this post, the working title is He Came - The Gospel of Christmas. We recorded a total of eight songs. Here is the song list but the order has not been finalized yet.

God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen - Instrumental

God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen

(Yes, "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" is on there twice. Once as and instrumental and once with vocals. There is a small story behind that and I may share it on the liner notes)

Until He Came

I Could Not Come To You

Three Faithful Heralds

(A medley of "We Three Kings," "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "Hark the Herald Angel Sing.")

Getting Ready For A Baby

Long Time Comin'

He Came To Me

There will also be a short Gospel sermon titled "He Came." 

The CDs will sell for $15 each and you can pre-order them with free shipping. If you order 10 or more we will discount them to $12 each and still ship them for free. We had several churches pre-order 10, 20, 30 or more of our last CD and it really helped with our upfront expenses and plus they received a discount too.

You can send pre-orders to the address below. All of them will need to be received by July 1. We will ship all of the pre-ordered CDs as soon as we receive the first shipment. As I said, we are planning to have them by August 1st.

We are excited about you hearing our Christmas themed CD. We hope it will be a blessing to you and your families.
