A Very Morgan Christmas 2015

Well, it was a great day just like we expected it to be in Hillsboro, Ohio. We gathered with all the Morgan's on Christmas Eve for a great meal and all the festivities that make up a Morgan Christmas. I told you yesterday that today's post would be mostly pictures and I am a man of my word. I hope you enjoy!

Merry Christmas From Boggs Family Ministries

Kelly Jo and Odie are already in Hillsboro with the Morgan clan and I will be going down later today. We plan to have Christmas dinner with them this evening and then Kelly Jo, Odie and I will have Christmas in the bus Friday morning before eating with the Boggs bunch Christmas afternoon. I am sure we will have a good time being with family.

Thank God that Christ came for us. It really does not matter if He was born on December 25th or in April. What matters is that He came. For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.  
II Corinthians 8:9

God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from satan’s power
When we were gone astray
Oh tiding of comfort and joy

To save us all from satan's power when? He saved us when we were gone astray! Hallelujah!

Christ came and paid the perfect price for our sin. The Son of God shed His blood to wash away the sins of the whole world! I love the following about the blood of the Lamb written by Pastor Shad McDonald

I Believe In The Blood

I believe The Blood of The Lamb is Worthy and Wonderful
I believe The Blood of The Lamb eXpunges and eXterminates
Yes, The Blood of The Lamb, The Blood of Jesus Christ was Yeilded up that we might be saved
And He took our sins that were Zillions and now they are Zero!
They are Nil!
They are Nonexistent!
They are Nothing!
They are None!
Your sins and mine.
They are gone forever!

We choose to celebrate that fact on Christmas Day and we will remember it with family and friends. May God bless you and your family the next few days.

Tomorrow's post will probably be mostly pictures from our Morgan Christmas. Thanks for reading.

Tuesday At First Pentecostal of Murlin Heights

We do not drop in at Murlin Heights in north Dayton nearly enough but it is not because we do not love Pastor Kevin Lloyd and all the folks. These are super people and great friends and it is always a privilege and honor to be in church with them.

Pastor Lloyd always swings the door open wide for us to visit any time we can and he always makes a point to give us a specific invitation during the holiday season. They had changed their midweek service this week due to Christmas so we were able to put them on the schedule for Tuesday night and I am so glad we did.

God visited us in a mighty way. Several folks received help in the service and I was right at the front of the line! Praise God for speaking the right words, at the right time, to the right person. I am very thankful that God knows exactly what we need to hear and loves us enough to send His Word to us. Oh God, give me sense enough to listen and to apply your Word to my heart!

Since we were going to north Dayton last night we spent a couple of hours driving through east Dayton and north Dayton looking for a City Reach location and feeling after God. After talking about City Reach during service I had several locations mentioned including three mentions of one particular location. You can rest assured I will examine that place a little closer in the day time.

We really look forward to working with Pastor Lloyd and his folks along with the other Dayton churches in City Reach in July. I believe that God is going to meet with us there!

Here are a few pictures from Tuesday night. Thanks for reading.
