Travel Days, Isaacs and A Great Sunday

Saturday morning started pretty early. Somebody else had the old Springville gym rented and I needed to get the trailer and BoggsMobile out of the way before they were boxed in. Pastor Lakes helped me get the trailer into position and then Kelly Jo helped me get it all hooked up and away we went.

Since we were not going directly toward Tennessee for revival I was unsure which direction to go. However I knew the Isaacs were in Richmond Saturday night and we really wanted to go there. It is hard to make plans until the tent is down and packed away dry but since all that was taken care of Friday night I pointed the BoggsMobile toward Richmond, Indiana.

We stopped at Flying J in Indianapolis to empty the holding tanks and then hopped on I-70 east bound. We only went a few miles and saw signs warning us that all eastbound lanes were closed due to an accident. We scoped out the best route around and turned off the interstate. It was very slow going because of heavy traffic plus it had some very tight turns and construction. All the trucks were with us so we were not the only ones taking it easy through the turns and lane closures on the detour route.

We lost at least an hour but we still made it to Richmond in time to eat a late lunch with friends and family. We had a wonderful meal and visit at Frisch's then we rush backed to the BoggsMobile to get ready for the evening. We really enjoyed the Isaacs Saturday night. It was so much fun. I posted a short clip of them yesterday.

I planned to drive toward home afterward but honestly after tent revival and taking down the tent Friday night I was spent. We were comfortable where we were parked at the truck stop so we just went to bed. I planned to get up Sunday morning and mosey into Ohio. But I did NOT plan to get up at 5:20 AM. So much for sleeping in! I got up and studied and prepared for preaching as I normally do on Sunday morning but I did let the girls rest some.

We are dropping the trailer in Ohio for three weeks. Our next tent revival is scheduled for Goshen, Ohio the 4th Sunday in June. After the trailer was in place and the Green Machine unloaded we went to Acapulco for lunch with my parents, Steve, Karen, Deidre, Cousin Lisa and Baby Lauren. Wow! Have I ever mentioned how good the salsa is at Acapulco? Man Alive! That stuff is good enough to drink.

Sunday night I was preaching at Corwin Pentecostal Church. I was not sure what to do but after wrestling with it for a while on Saturday I decided to go to Corwin. We were just there several weeks ago for a service but I felt like we needed to be there Sunday night. Pastor Acy Lamb has propped the door wide open for us and I really do appreciate that.

As it turns out, we had a wonderful altar service. I believe that God spoke to us during the preaching and the folks really responded well. I appreciate them responding to us and to God's spirit.

We also happened to be there on Pastor Acy Lamb's 73rd birthday. Happy Birthday, Bro. Acy!

We were blessed to see some old friends at Corwin Sunday night. Bro. James and Sis. Tara McCoy and their family were there. It has been many years since we have seen the whole family together. 

Sis. Tara was raised in the Corwin church but they have lived away for most of their adult lives. Bro. James and Sis. Tara are pioneering a holiness church in Castle Rock, Colorado which is a southern suburb of Denver. It was super great to see them and we will certainly be praying for Liberty Holiness Tabernacle. We wholeheartedly believe in the need for new churches and love to help them when we can.

That was our weekend. Today I plan to leave for Vonore, Tennessee. I am taking the bus for some work that I had schedule to coincide with revival at Beechfork. Revival has been canceled due to Pastor Herman Woods being in rehab because of a stroke. But the work on the BoggsMobile still needs to be completed. I am sure that will take up the bulk of my posts here the next few days.

I hope you had a great Sunday. I will leave you with a picture taken by Sis. Crystal Lamb Sunday night. She was kind enough to share it with us.

View Out The Front Window 6/1/2014

We saw the Isaacs last night in Indiana. Odie has lots of pictures to post later. Everything they sang was fantastic. It was very special to hear them sing their new single I Wanna Be There. I told you about this song last fall. I recorded a small clip of it on my phone. I hope it comes through.



Thanks Aunt Lily, Ben Sonya and Becky for making it such a special night for Odie and for us. We love you all very, very much.

The Isaacs are traveling to Israel Wednesday. Pray for them as they travel. It would be awesome to go with them to Israel again some time.

Now it is time for our normal Sunday post. God bless you all. Have a great Sunday.

First Night Of Tent Revival In Springville, Indiana

A Few iPhone Pictures From Omaha Zoo

Hey friends, Odie here today. I hope you are doing great. We had a wonderful week in Springville, Indiana. The tent revival was great. God moved every night in a special way!  I love church under the "Blue and White Gospel Tent"! Rain was forecast nearly everyday. Praise God it never rained during service. The weather was great!

The tent is now down and we should be on our way shortly. I am sure Dad will have a lot to say later about the last night of tent revival and the way the Tunnel Hill folks worked so hard.

Last Wednesday in Omaha, Nebraska Sis. Alma DiMinico took me and Mom to the zoo. We had a good time. If you need something to do in Omaha I recommend the zoo. It is on the top 10 list of zoos in the nation. 

Usually on our zoo days the weather is HOT!! It seems like it has been a rule in our family to only go to the zoo if it is at least 100 degrees outside.  Last week the weather was perfect!  

We like to take pictures at the zoo with the big camera. Mom handled the camera last week, and she got some great shots. I tried to upload them for a post, but our wifi signal is slow. I will try it get them up next week some time. I took very few pictures with my iPhone. The first picture below is from the Cannon and the rest are with the iPhone. 

Sis. Alma is a superb tour guide, she knew the zoo like the back of her hand. We had a great time visiting with her! Thanks, Sis. Alma, for taking the time off work to be with us.  Lunch in downtown Omaha was excellent. I failed to take pics to prove it. 

I want to thank you all again for your continued prayers. I feel like my eye sight is 85-90% better. I am still thanking God for my miracle and rebuking the devil from my life. I do have two appointments the middle and end of June. I am believing for good reports from both doctors!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend. May God Bless all of you in church tomorrow.
