Sunday In Gainesville, Texas

It was another great Sunday for the Boggs Family. This time we spent that great Sunday at the House of Prayer in Gainesville, Texas with pastor Dennis King and all of his great folks. We are so glad to be here and thankful they keep inviting us back.

We only have 5 services of revival scheduled here so we jumped right in with both feet. God blessed and helped in the altar Sunday morning in a mighty way. 100% of the people responded to the altar call and God honored their response. That one service was worth the whole revival for us. But Sunday night was good as well and we are looking forward to seeing what God will do the next three nights.

Saturday some of the brothers were working on the lights inside the sanctuary. With the beautiful tall ceiling comes the beautiful problem of reaching the lights. A little ingenuity and a little courage was all that was needed. I stayed on the ground and took pictures for the record.

The rest of the pictures are from Sunday.

The church is large and very nice. It is beautifully decorated for Christmas. I need to go up into the balcony and try to take a picture of the whole thing.

As you can see from the pictures, Sunday was a gorgeous day. It was 78 degrees when I checked at one point and was supposed to climb to 80 and I am sure it probably did. The temperature collapsed over night and it may not even get out of the 30's today. It should be back to the 50's Tuesday and warmer the rest of the week but today is a cold winter blast.

It was wonderful to have Pastor Richard and Sis. Naomi Frank with us Sunday night. They were passing through after visiting family in Oklahoma for Thanksgiving and made a point to stop and be in service with us. God bless them for it! They were a blessing to us and to the church.

I hope you had a great Sunday. Thanks for reading. God bless you all.

Travel Days and Schedule Change

Tuesday

Arbuckle, California

Since we have been on the move this last week, we have lots of pictures from our front window. We traveled four days. Two of those days ended in truck stops in Bellemont, Arizona and Albuquerque, New Mexico. The third ended at an RV Park in Amarillo, Texas and the fourth ended at our destination, the House of Prayer in Gainesville, Texas.

This is our view out the front window Monday night at the Pilot Truck Stop in Bellemont, Arizona near Flagstaff.

This is our view out the front window Tuesday night at the Flying J Truck Stop in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Out the front door at the same place.

Out the front window a little later in the evening.

And one more from beside the BoggsMobile looking toward the front. Albuquerque is a beautiful city at night.

This is the view out our front window in an RV Park in Amarillo, Texas Wednesday night. I guess they put the riffraff in the back.

Here is the old familiar view out our front window at House of Prayer in Gainesville, Texas.

And out the front door.

Gainesville is a very comfortable place to park. We first brought our Hitchhiker 5th wheel here in February 2003. We loved it from the first moment. There is a very nice concrete drive all around the church with the RV parking and full hookups in the back away from all the traffic. Bro. Logan loved evangelists and did everything he possibly could to make us feel comfortable at his church.

Bro. Logan was not able to pastor the last couple of years of his life and has now been in Heaven over a year now. Pastor Dennis King is still taking great care of us and we are enjoying every moment of it. He took me to lunch Friday while the girls were shopping and even took me to see Santa.

Here he is. A skinny Santa riding a Harley! It cracked me up.

Bro. Larry and Sis. Rosemary Landress were passing through Gainesville on Saturday. They are on their way to the border for a missions conference and then on into Mexico for a few days. 

We realized several weeks ago that our paths would cross this weekend and we have been looking forward to seeing them ever since. It was super great to spend a few hours with our dear friends. We hated to see them move on. Bro. and Sis. Landress included us in their travel plans many, many times through the years. We love to see them every time we can.

Pastor Dennis King took us all to lunch and we enjoyed the food and fellowship. 

We begin revival today in Gainesville. We are looking forward to it.

Thankfulness Soaring In My Heart

Hey friends! Happy Saturday to you. How was your Thanksgiving?  We had a great day. Most of our day was spent traveling from Amarillo to Gainesville, Texas.  

I must admit I missed my Ohio family this week. I am already anticipating being home in a couple weeks. The Morgan crew met up at my grandparents Thursday for dinner. I am thankful we were able to talk and text with them.  I wish I could have some of my Gran's cooking. Our Boggs clan meets up this afternoon at my Mamaw and Papaw's. I know they will have a fantastic evening. I am thankful for my whole family! Love you all and we will see you soon!

As you all know we left California Mond+ay morning. We had several good weeks in one of my favorite states. I was sad to leave, but the asphalt in my blood was itching. It was time for us  to roll. 

Last Friday was the final day of school before Thanksgiving break at Riverdale Christian Academy. It was party day for most of RCA.  Sis. Twila Spencer invited me to visit her class. The 4th graders had built rockets and Friday was launch day. It was exciting to watch my buddies launch their creations.

I had a blast getting to see several of my Riverdale friends one last time. We topped the afternoon off with ice cream and brownies in the learning center. Thanks Twila for allowing me to join in the fun. 

I am thankful we have been blessed with a smooth travel week from California to Texas. I have picked a habit up from Dad, of thanking God every time the BoggsMobile cranks on command. The Lord shields us thousands of miles each year, and I am truly grateful. I do not want to take His protection lightly. 

On long travel weeks I like to use some of the time to catch up with my great friends. I am blessed beyond measure with friends. On Thanksgiving I was able to touch base with many I had not talked to in a while. 

Let me close this week with a little personal note.  

Dad and Mom, I am thankful God put me in your family. Thank you all you do!  Both of do so much behind the scenes working to keep our family machine oiled and working!!  I love you both more than word express!!

God bless,

Odie
