Revival In Pictures - Forts Lake Assembly

We have been blessed to be a part of some good revivals this year but revival this week at Forts Lake has been especially good. I am sure that part of the reason is that they were already having revival type services way before we arrived on the scene. Every service has been amazing.

God has helped so many in the altar services. I have been sitting back at times in awe of what God is doing. Thank God for His wonderful help. I wish everybody could be here and be a part of revival.

Here are the pictures. God bless you all.

Pastor Tim Cauley

Of course, the food has been amazing as well. We do not call Sis. Ruthie Cauley one of the best cooks in the USA for naught.

Today Sis. Ruthie is cooking her world famous Shrimp Gumbo. It is going to be tremendous! I can not wait to dig in. I will try to take some pictures and try to post them later.

We have had several friends drop in as well. Too bad we failed to get pictures of most of them. Lol We always appreciate friends coming to see us from other churches.

More 50th Birthday, Revival and BoggsMobile

First, I have a few more pictures of the Birthday boy. Odie found these and thought they should be included. I agree. These were all taken in June of 2013 at our parents 50th Anniversary celebration.

I hope you are having a great day, Bubba.

We are having a wonderful week at Forts Lake Assembly. This revival is outstanding. Praise God for His help each and every night. Evangelizing is lots of fun but it is even better when revivals are this good. We appreciate Pastor Tim Cauley and his folks having church with us this week.

Tomorrow I plan to have pictures from the revival. We have several from each night ready to post and we will take a few more tonight.

We will probably leave Friday night after church. We only have about 400 miles to travel to our next revival in Douglas, Georgia. But we have an appointment in Tifton, Georgia to have something looked at on the bus. I need to arrive there as early as I can. If I can drive part of the way after church then we would not have to crank before daylight Saturday. It will all depend on how I feel when church is over Friday.

As I mentioned earlier this week, we always have several projects on standby involving the BoggsMobile. There is one project I have been messing with for a few months. I have been babying things along until I could get a professional to look at it.

That will happen in Tifton on Saturday if all goes as planned. I hope to receive a final verdict on this problem and I am hoping against hope for a positive report. If the final diagnosis is as it seems currently then we are going to have to replace a very expensive system. I will keep you informed when I know more.

Well, that pretty much brings you up to date. Thank you for reading.

Happy 50th Birthday to My Bubba - Steve Boggs

Today is the final day of my brother Steve's 50th year. Tomorrow March 20, 2014 he will be 50 years old. That is a milestone worth marking. He is the first of the Boggs siblings to reach 50. Steve has led us every step of the way. For a very brief time all 4 of us have been in our 40's but this is the last day of that.

Steve has been married to Karen for over 25 years and they have 3 children, Deidre, Victor and Isaac. He has worked for the same company in Cincinnati for most of those years and is a dependable and faithful employee. Steve and his family live in Waynesville, Ohio within a mile of our other siblings and within 2 1/2 miles of our parents.

For over 11 years Steve has taken care of our mail and any other business that comes up in Ohio. One of the main reasons we are able to leave home and stay gone for months at a time is because I am confident that Steve will take care of anything that needs to be done for us.

I consider Steve as one of my very best friends in the world. I know that many of you reading do not know him and may never meet him. But my brother Steve has had a major impact on our lives and influence on what we do. So in a way, if you know us, then you know Steve.

I want to wish Steve a very happy and blessed 50th Birthday. We all three love you, Bubba, better than a hog loves slop!

Davy, Kelly and Odie

Here are a few pictures of Steve. Note to self: Take more pictures of family.

Tuesday's Post - Jake Parkerson and Color Pro Technologies

BoggsMobile and Color Pro Technologies

I put up Monday's post pretty late in the afternoon so you may have missed it.

Several folks have asked about the work we had scheduled on the BoggsMobile on Friday before Allentown. Although we have several projects on standby this one was actually the finishing of a project started last fall in Pensacola.

Back in October I left the BoggsMobile with Bro. Jake Parkerson and Color Pro Technologies for them to work on some major clear coat issues on the BoggsMobile. They had it while Kelly Jo and I made a quick trip to Nigeria to dedicate the new Osara Rd. church in Abeokuta.

Most of the worst problems were up high  on the bus in the white paint and I could not get a good picture of it. The two pictures below of the clear coat peeling on the blue paint give you a little glimpse of the problem.

Long time readers may remember the bad hail storm that we went through in Dothan, Alabama on March 27, 2011. It was wicked. Even though it was even worse a couple of miles away at Walmart, it was bad enough to do serious damage to the clear coat and paint on the roof of the BoggsMobile. Jake is the one that fixed all of that then.

They did not have time to fix everything in October while we were in Nigeria but they took care of all the major clear coat problems and some of the cosmetic problems as well. It was a huge job.

It tuned out really, really good. Bro. Jake and his guys do great work. That is why he is in high demand from Mobile, Alabama all the way across the panhandle of Florida. I could not be more pleased with the the way the clear coat shines now and more importantly the clear coat is back in place to protect the paint.

I also have some bubbling issues around some of the rivets where the stainless meets the sheet metal but that fix that was going to require a whole lot more time than I had available.

When we arrived in Pensacola from Nigeria in October we were pressed for time pretty badly. Jake's guys were not able to put the finishing touches on the front so Friday before Allentown Jake worked nearly 11 hours on it.

The front shines like new money now. Jake Parkerson is a great guy with a big heart and we appreciate all the work he has done. I recommend Color Pro Technologies for all your RV painting and body work needs any where within a few hundred miles of Pensacola.

While I was there I watched some mobile glass guys replace one side of a windshield on another RV. It was an interesting process and I enjoyed watching and visiting with those guys. 

They showed me the bill for the labor and material. It was over $1700 and they said that is pretty cheap for motorhomes. Wow! I have found something on the bus that is cheaper to replace that a conventional RV. I Usually pay between $200 and $250 for labor and material to replace one side of the windshield on the bus. I guess that is a bargain!

It pays to be thankful for the small things. Thanks for reading.
