Friends, Fishing And A Fantastic Service

We had another tremendous service Tuesday tonight in Ellisville, Mississippi. It was good from the word go. Praise God for his help in the worship, the preaching and in the altar service. It was awesome to see so many people receiving help. We are already anticipating great things for tonight.

We had a very special visitor Tuesday. Pastor Darrell Toliver from Sand Springs, Oklahoma came for lunch and stayed all day. It was a super treat to have him with us.  We enjoyed the fellowship and I love having him to help me preach. Bro. Toliver loves to help preachers as much as anybody I know.

Bro. and Sis. Toliver's daughter has married recently and moved to the gulf coast. They are down for a visit and Bro. Toliver drove about two hours to be with us. You can not beat friends like that.


I love it when my friends get to meet my friends. I have the best friends in the world and I think everybody is better off when they are acquainted with my them.

Bro. Kenny Morris and Bro. Scott Morris took Odie fishing Tuesday afternoon. She had a great time catching fish with Rylee. The whole thing was hilarious. I think Odie is planning to tell you all more about it on Saturday.


While we were traveling Friday I took some pictures of the Green Machine and the BoggsMobile together. I was trying to get a picture that Kelly Jo could incorporate into the new design for Odie's Newsletter. These may not make the cut but I thought I would share them.




Thanks for reading.

First Assembly, Ellisville, Mississippi - Revival In Pictures

We are well on our way to having revival in Ellisville, Mississippi. Sunday night we had some folks getting help from the Lord in the altar and Monday night we had a really good break through in the altar service. I am so thankful for the help of the Lord so far and I am excited to see what is going to happen the rest of the week.

We have had a great big hole in the services so far. Sis. Joan Morris has been out with the flu and we have been missing her something fierce. She hates to miss church as well and she is hoping to get to make it tonight (Tuesday). We all hope she gets to feeling better and is able to come because she is a huge help in the services. I am sure we will have some pictures of Momma Joan when she makes her grand entrance.

The weather has been absolutely beautiful this week. The weather guessers are predicting a rain front moving through with cooler temperatures behind it. I hope they are completely wrong but even with a little cooler weather it will be so much better than what we have been having father north.

Now it is time for some pictures from revival. We hope you enjoy our Revival In Pictures.

Regan Morris just being her Spiritual self. Pay attention young men, she is single!







Folks are coming in before church Sunday night.



This is the miracle baby that Odie wrote about back in November. She is as beautiful as she is miraculous.



With her mother, Sis. Tracy.

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.
