Hearing The Isaacs Again

Hey friends!  It is Odie writing to you from Mississippi. Today we will move the BoggsMobile to Waynesboro, Mississippi. We are looking forward to a good week at Little Rock Assembly.  

This past week we have had an excellent time at Red Creek Church of God. The Lord graced us with His presence all three services. We really appreciate Pastor Tom Newberry and his folks for all their kindness.

Because we closed Wednesday night we had Thursday and Friday night off. Of course we managed to find some place to go to church both nights. I am sure that Dad will tell you about Friday night but I want to tell you about Thursday night.

When I checked the Isaacs' schedule I found they were singing Thursday night at a small Baptist Church. Thursday we loaded up in the Green Machine and headed down to the panhandle. Just a couple Saturdays ago I told you I had no clue when I would see the Isaacs again. It happened quicker than I anticipated but I am excited to see them every time. 

It was mid afternoon when we arrived at the church. We enjoyed catching part of their sound check and visiting with our family. The sweet people at Mt Zion welcomed us with opened arms right along with the Isaacs. They were really kind to us and made us feel right at home.

This was our favorite setup for an Isaacs concert. The Isaacs were the only group on the lineup and they could sing as long as they wanted. We had front row seats. It felt like I was getting a personal concert.  This was the Isaacs first time singing at this church. The building was soon packed to overflowing and many in the crowd were seeing the Isaacs for the first time. 

The Isaacs started it off with "Walk On". Then the concert was on a roll. It continued to get better with every note. There is no way I could pick my favorite song of the night.  All in one evening we laughed and cried. It was a power packed night.  

They did a mix of old and new songs. I love the new songs but the old ones are better than they were over 20 years ago when released. As I girl I remember thinking, "It can not get any better". Well I  was way wrong, because they are absolutely better now.   

This is a day I want remember for a long time. It was a super great evening. It would be great if you could see them some time. The Isaacs schedule is listed at www.theisaacs.com. It is worth a trip to see them in person. 

Aunt Lily, Ben, Sonya, Becky, Mark, Levi, Justin, Ayden, and Vee Vee we loved getting to see you all again. Thank you for making the night awesome for me. I love you all so much!!

Have a good weekend. I will leave you with pictures to finish the story.

Travel Day on Tuesday

We did make the drive yesterday in the BoggsMobile to the big city of Buckatunna, Mississippi and then turned out in the country to Red Creek Church of God. We arrived safely before 11:15. The short road out to the church is pretty narrow for the bus meeting other cars but we made it just fine. Both cars we met wisely pulled way over on their side and allowed us to pass through. We pulled into the parking lot and we were set up in just a few minutes.

Because the driving distance was less than 55 miles my travel day was pretty easy. I have the same amount of work on both ends of the trip but the real load falls on Kelly Jo. She has quite a bit to do before we ride and then she has to reverse it all when we get parked. I think she actually prefers the longer travel days since the work is all the same and she has more time to enjoy looking at the scenery as we go by.

We did have another good service last night at Red Creek. We had a good crowd again and great fellowship from local churches. God helped during the preaching and the altar service and we really enjoyed Him moving among us. Praise God for His help.

Bro. Darius Templeton was one of the Pastors that came tonight. I really appreciate him coming so far to be with us after having just heard us for nine services at his church last week. He heard us sing everything we know and has heard me preach everything I know. Yet he came and was a great encouragement and blessing to our family.

By the way, if you have not started the habit of reading Bro. Darius' daily devotion you should tune in and see what you are missing. I look forward to it every day.

I am typing this but not sure that I will be able to post it. We have glimpses of internet service on our Verizon hotspot but is is very undependable at best. I was able to email a few pictures to the blog at one point so if this goes through then I hope it has pictures below. If it does not post now, then I will add it to a post later in the week.

Thanks for reading.

Another Sunday at Cedar Creek.

Sunday was another great day at Cedar Creek Holy Church of God. We stayed over for both services and we are very glad that we did. God blessed us Sunday morning and Sunday night and we appreciate His presence and help. We feel blessed to have Pastor Darius and Sis. Kim Templeton in our lives as friends and it has been great to be with them and the Cedar Creek folks.

We plan to move to Red Creek Church of God near Buckatunna, Mississippi today. Pastor Tom Newberry called and offered an open door this week and we are very thankful for that. If all goes as planned we will there through Wednesday night. If you are in the area and would like to join us they are going to start at 7:00.

Here are few pictures from Sunday and a few from the Friday night Youth Rally too. I hope you had a great Sunday.

View Out The Front Window February 1, 2015











We stayed over for Sunday at Cedar Creek Holy Church of God so our view this weekend has not changed, except for the fact that last week's pictures were taken after dark. This week you get to see our view in the daytime.

Our tentative plan is to move on Monday to another church for a few nights, but Pastor Darius Templeton and I are open for whatever the Lord leads in the services today. Either way, may God receive the glory.

I hope you have a super great Sunday.
