Weekend Wound Up and Weview August 10

We wrapped everything up at the Lazy OD Ranch Friday morning and pulled out for Oklahoma about 10:15 AM. It was nice to be on the road again but it sure seemed like a long road ahead of us as we skirted around Cincinnati. But about 10 and a half hours later we were pulling into Stage Stop RV Park right behind Lambert's Cafe (The home of the throwed roll) with almost 610 miles behind us.


Stage Stop has been a very familiar stop for us the last several years. I think we have been in there with every vehicle and RV configuration we have traveled in the last 13 years. It is just a gravel parking lot but the spots are long pull thru sites with water, sewer and 50 amp. The price has been super at $20 plus it has very good wifi and did I mention it is right behind Lambert's Cafe (The home of the throwed roll).

We debated about driving on to Coachlight RV Park in Carthage, Missouri but I had already driven over my self imposed limit for the day and I was way ready to stop. After we were parked I realized I might have made a mistake.

Stage Stop is 13 miles out of our way but that is no problem since it is four lane road and it is cheap with good electric, really good wifi and Lambert's (The home of the throwed roll) is close by. However, Lambert's was not on the agenda Friday night, the wifi must have had molasses poured in it and the price had gone up to $25. Thankfully the water and electric was still available.

I really needed to upload some large files on an unlimited connection but it was not happening there. Even so Stage Stop is still a pretty good bargain especially if you are going to Lambert's Cafe  (The home of the throwed roll).

Speaking of bargains, I filled up the diesel tank on the BoggsMobile in Sullivan, Missouri for $2.34 a gallon. Wow! Praise God! I would love it cheaper but $280 is incredible. That same fill up has cost $536 at $4.50 per gallon and would have cost me $353 at the price we paid in January.



I know that the low price of oil really hurts a bunch of our friends that work in that business. There must be a happy medium some where. How about a fair price for oil so folks can make a living and a fair price for a gallon of gas and diesel so a family can afford to drive?

We left Ozark early Saturday in order to beat the heat in Oklahoma. I do not like to drive in extreme heat and subject my tires and equipment to the extra abuse. I avoid it when all possible. It was still in the upper 80's or low 90's when we arrived in Broken Arrow about 10:30.

Saturday evening we met Bro. and Sis. Rich and several more friends for a great meal at Los Cabos a few miles away. It was wonderful as usual!




It was awesome to see Bro. Chuck and Sis. Lyndsey Spencer and their kids this weekend. They were passing through on their way home to California. It is always great to see them. They surprised us last year by walking into a revival at Beechfork Holiness Church near Wartburg, Tennessee. I can not wait to see where they pop up next year! We plan to see them soon in California.












We began revival with an outstanding service on Sunday morning. It was a tremendous blessing to see folks responding to the preaching in the altar and then to watch God responding to them. Praise God! Sunday night was another great service. I think this is going to be a fantastic week.









We had some more friends in church with us Sunday as well. Bro. Seth and Sis. Anna Hoover visited Sunday morning and they brought their beautiful baby girl with them.























That is about it for now. I hope you enjoy the pictures. Thanks for reading.

View Out The Front Window August 9, 2015

Check out our posts from the last week at the links below.







This is our view out the front window early Saturday morning at Stage Stop RV Park in Ozark, Missouri.




And this is the view out the front door.




This is our view this week our the front window at South Mission Holiness Church in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.




We are thrilled to begin revival this morning for Pastor Leon Rich and all of his fine folks. We love coming here. These are some of the nicest folks in the world and we always have good services. We have never been here when it has been above freezing but i think 100+ is a little extreme on the other end.

The real temperature was only 100 yesterday about 4:15 but it felt like 109. I believe it!









I hope you have a good Sunday.

Odie's Road Ramblings

Hey Friends, this is Odie coming to you from the road.  I apologize if this post is not coherent. We will blame in on the bumpy roads. My thoughts are a jumbled mess. LOL!

We are traveling toward Oklahoma. I am looking forward to seeing Pastor Leon Rich and all the crew at South Mission in Broken Arrow. Revival is scheduled for Sunday morning through Friday night. Please come visit us. We love being in service with friends. 

Well, I have absolutely enjoyed getting to be home a lot this summer. I love spending time with family. I have squeezed in as much fun as I possibly could manage. I have more pictures to post. While going through pictures I realized that I have yet to post any pictures from 4th of July. I will get to those soon. 

This week my cousin Lisa and I enjoyed a delicious lunch at Royce Cafe and Lebanon, Ohio. I had their yummy Chicken Salad Croissant and Mushroom Soup. Lisa loved the Greek Salad she ordered. 

Yes, I took pictures of the food.  Sis. Lacey Lamb let me know she went to Royce because of my blog post earlier this summer. Blogging about food does have an impact. I am glad I can be an inspiration!




Thanks, Lisa, for wonderful afternoon! I always appreciate it when you take time from your busy schedule for me. I love you, Cousin!


As you can see my cousin Deidre was not able to join us for lunch. She was on a plane headed to Germany. Dee, you were missed at lunch!


(Picture taken in June)
This is Deidre's second summer going with the team from Ozark Bible Institute to Germany. Please pray for them as they minister. I think they will return to the states around August 18th. You can follow Deidre's adventures at  http://deidrestravels.blogspot.com

Until next time have a wonderful weekend.

Last Day At Home

After a busy day and a late night I am trying to get things cranking this morning so we can get on the road toward Oklahoma. Today's post may be a little abbreviated because of it..

It was so good to be at our home church last night with our Pastor and all the folks. These saints have loved us through thick and thin and back to thick again. They have been loyal and loving toward us when I am sure it was not easy and it is always a joy to be among them. We will be back with them at Indoor Fellowship Meeting in twelve days by God's grace.

Speaking of Indoor, you should make plans to come be with us that week if you can. The meeting starts on Tuesday night August 18 and runs through Friday night the 21st. There will be meals served Wednesday through Friday along with a morning service those days a well. Pastor Shad McDonald is preaching at night and Pastor Dwain Galiher is preaching in the morning. I know it is going to be good and then good some more!

We plan to be there all week soaking up all the blessings we can get our hands on before we begin our sprint toward the end of the year. There will be plenty of blessings to go around so come and get some for yourself. We would be thrilled to have you join us.

I will leave you with just a few pictures from Thursday. Thanks for reading.
