Travel Day - From Bro. Kenny to Bro. Kenny

We ended up with a very long travel day on Friday. The original plan was to drive about 500 miles on Friday and then finish up on Saturday. I guess I forgot to tell the BoggsMobile what the plan was because Friday morning it refused to cooperate. 

I was up early so I could turn the diesel heater and warm up the engine coolant since the outside temperature was about 32. While that was happening Kelly Jo was inside getting everything ready to ride. When she was about 30 minutes from being ready I sat down to crank the bus.

No crank. Nothing at all. Uh-oh! What Now? 

The voltage at the battery post was 24.3 That is a little lower than I expected it to be but it should have cranked. I hooked up the charger and let it charge for a couple of hours while I cleaned all the battery connections and was discussing my options with friends and family. 

While I was back there listening to make sure the starter solenoid was clicking I had Kelly Jo try it again. This time it turned over and cranked right up. Praise God. We emptied the holding tanks, hooked the car up, unhooked the electric and hit the road as quickly as we could.

We had lost a few hours so we were now running behind. By the time I made 500 miles it was dark and the truck stops were filled to overflowing. I was a little hesitant to stop and shut the motor off too. I would hate to get up Saturday morning and have the same problem.

After stopping for fuel in Jackson, Mississippi we pressed on and arrived in Ellisville a few minutes after 11. It was almost midnight when I finished outside and stepped in the bus. It had been a long, long day. I used to think I was a wimp if I could not drive 1000 miles a day but about 550 is my limit now.

We left Bro. Kenny Searcy Friday morning and arrived at Bro. Kenny Morris's Friday night.

After sleeping a while Saturday morning Bro. Scott Morris and I washed the bus and the front of the Green Machine. Bro. Scott and his family came by and we enjoyed a leisurely lunch with them. We really enjoyed the fellowship. Hopefully we will get to spend quite a bit more time with them this week.

They brought their Scion Xb and it was the first time our Xb's had been together. They look good together.

Especially with all these pretty girls.

We started revival Sunday here in Ellisville and we are off to a good start. It is great to be back with Pastor Kenny Morris and his church.

I really wanted you to see this picture, 56 degrees at 8:01 Sunday morning. That is much better.

I hope you all had a good Sunday. Pray that God will give us a move of His Spirit.

Special Visit From Deidre Boggs

A Note From Odie

Hey friends!

Hope you have had a great week. We had a wonderful week in Midwest City Oklahoma. The BoggsMobile is now in Ellisville, Mississippi. It was an eventful travel day, but praise God we arrived safely!

Faithful readers may remember my cousin Deirdre Boggs is now in her second year at Ozark Bible Institute. I do not get to see her very often. When we have been close enough for Deidre to come to revival it hardly ever seems to work out.  School keeps her busy. She is a member of the Overcomers choir and is traveling a lot. 

Two weekends ago she did get visit us in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  I was so happy to see her! Deidre was able to be in a few services with us. She was at the youth rally at South Mission in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma ans also the Sunday morning services at Bethany Holiness in Sapulpa, Oklahoma. 

On Saturday we spent some quality girl time at the mall. We had to take some crazy picture just for you all along the way. Mom was there but did not get in any of our pictures. Thank you Mom for chauffeuring us. 

All to soon Sunday afternoon came and it was time to say goodbye.  The plan is to see her in 40 days in Tennessee at PFYC.  See you soon, Deidre Faye!! Are you making plans to be there? It is going to be good.

Thanks for spending a weekend with  me!! I had a wonderful time wth you. Love ya lots!

Have fantastic weekend friends!  Now for the pictures.

Calvary Holiness Church - Revival In Pictures

We have had another great week in revival with Pastor Kenny Searcy and the Calvary Holiness Church in Midwest City, Oklahoma. As I said earlier Bro. and Sis. Searcy have been our friends for many years. Although they are originally from Oklahoma they were living in Ohio and attending our home church when we started visiting there in early 1988. They embraced us so warmly and made us feel right at home and we have been friends ever since.

Later when we were pastoring our first church and they were evangelizing they held us a super great revival. They have been back in Oklahoma over 20 years and have been pastoring at Calvary for nearly 13 years. It is always our privilege to preach for these special folks. Thank you all for treating us so well. May God bless you for all of your kindness.

We plan to leave this morning and head toward Ellisville, Mississippi. It is a pretty long run so we do not plan to make the trip all in one day. We plan to park some where along the road and then finish up Saturday. We are supposed to start revival Sunday morning and I hope to be well rested and ready to go.

I hope you enjoy all of the pictures.

I do not know how these next three pictures got started but if this is the way our visitors want to be photographed who are we to argue?

OK, back to normal...

Did I say normal earlier?

My new love. Whole wheat pancakes with bananas and strawberry syrup from IHOP.
