Excellent Easter Weekend

Our weekend report begins again on Wednesday night. After the last Amen in London we loaded up the sound equipment and headed north to Ohio as fast as our little feet would carry us. We pulled into the barn at the Lazy OD Ranch about 1:30 Thursday morning. We found everything in good shape when we arrived and that was good to see.

At 11:00 AM we met Kelly Jo's parents, her sister Kim and her kids, my parents, my sister Theresa, her husband Jay and their daugher. Our meeting place was my favorite Mexican restaurant east of the Mississippi for a great meal and over due family time.

Kelly Jo and Odie shopped for a while Thursday afternoon with her family. While Dad and I pulled positioned the tent trailer correctly and then I worked on it and the barn the rest of the day.

I did make it back to Acapulco a time or two over the next day and a half we were in town. It was so good!

Saturday morning Kelly Jo pulled out of the barn and I hooked the Green Machine up to the BoggsMobile.

Before we left I backed the tent trailer into the barn with Dad's truck where it is now safe and sound. I neglected to get a picture.

We headed south on I-71 then east on I-64 at Louisville and scooted all way across Indiana to Evansville. We had a very smooth ride and arrived at First Pentecost in good time. This is our second time parking here and we really like it. It is real easy to pull in, back up and get hooked up.

As I mentioned we are parked here at First Pentecost Church where the Pastor is Bro. Jack Feldbusch.

They have built a new church in recent years and they have both the old and new foundation stones on the new building. It is pretty neat.

Sunday morning kicked off with a great Easter service at Full Gospel Mission and the whole day turned out pretty awesome. The weather was perfect, the services were awesome, the food was delicious and the fellowship was superb. You just can not get much better than that.

Pastor John and Sis. Debbie Eaton are super duper folks and dear friends. It is wonderful to be back in Evansville with them again. We have had three great services so far with God touching folks in the altar each service and we are so thankful. We have four more nights and we are expecting great things from God.

Here are a few pictures from Easter Sunday. I hope you enjoy.

Our Weekend In Review

We spent two days at home before moving to our next revival in Evansville, Indiana so we had an outstanding view inside the barn on the Lazy OD Ranch.

Here is the view from the door.

Here is the view out the front window with the barn doors closed.

And with the barn doors open.

We moved to Evansville, Indiana on Saturday. We are in revival for Pastor John Eaton at Full Gospel Mission but we are parked several blocks away at First Pentecostal Church.



I appreciate Pastor Jack Feldbusch allowing us to park here. The parking lot is very easy to pull into and out of and the utilities are handy.

This our view out the front door.

And this is the view out of the front door.

I hope you had a great resurrection Sunday yesterday. I will bring you up to date on our weekend tomorrow by God's grace.

He Wouldn't Stay Dead - Easter 2015

Today's post is a special Easter post. Tune in tomorrow for a View Out The Front Window that normally appears on Sunday.

In what is becoming an Easter tradition, I am re-posting a great poem on this beautiful Resurrection Sunday. I hope you enjoy it!

I have quoted this poem in my preaching for many, many years and plan to quote it again today. It was written by a Baptist preacher named Willard G. Thomas from Georgia. I heard him quote it in person long years ago. It spoke to me then and it speaks to me every time I think of it. I love this poem. I added the last stanza when I started quoting it myself.

May God bless you on this Easter. If you are not a Christian, may you be moved by the fact that Jesus Christ died for you and then got up out of the grave for you as well. Thank God He arose!

He Wouldn’t Stay Dead

by:Willard G. Thomas

They laid His body in Joseph’s new tomb

And filled His disciples with sorrow and gloom

They did not remember what He had said

That He would die, but He wouldn’t stay dead

Mary came at the break of day

And found the stone was rolled away

She saw an angel and in terror fled

And told His disciples that He didn’t stay dead

In that cold dark tomb He would not stay

He conquered death and walked away

And now that old grave has lost it’s fear and dread

He lives again! He wouldn’t stay dead

Full atonement and pardon were made

And forever the sin debt was marked fully paid

The price was His blood as it flowed crimson red

And I’m thankful today that He didn’t stay dead!

Let’s go to our churches and cry aloud

Let’s go to the marketplace and talk to the crowd

Let’s go to the mission fields that lie up ahead

And tell the whole world that He didn’t stay dead!

Because if Jesus Christ had only died

Then the gulf between us and God would still be wide

But thank God He did what He said

He got up out of the ground, He couldn’t stay dead!
