#18 View Out The Front Window May 1, 2016

May I begin by passing along a few prayer requests this morning?

Please pray for our friends in Richton, Mississippi today. They have suffered a terrible loss this weekend. A fine young man from the church was killed in a car accident and they need God to help them desperately. Our friends are grieving and we want to be with them and can not. Yet I know that God can visit them and comfort them right now.

Secondly, Pastor Alan Harris had a serious health scare earlier this week and although he is doing better, I want to ask you to pray for Bro. Alan and Sis. Tammy this week. They have had a rough time physically this year and I am asking God to give them a few miracles today.

Finally, my nephew Victor had an accident at work Friday and needs God to help him. Thank you for praying.

Weekend Woundup and Weview

This is our view out the front door the last several days in an RV Park just west of Phoenix, Arizona.

This is the view out the front window.

We have had three tremendous services with Pastor Johnson George and the Bethel Church. We are expecting two more great services today. Thank you for praying for us.

God bless you all this beautiful Sunday morning.

Congratulations Deidre Boggs

Hey Friends,

It is Odie reporting in once again from Arizona. We have had a wonderful week. God is helping us in revival this weekend at Bethel Church in Phoenix. We are enjoying getting better acquainted with Pastor George and his wife Sis Binu. These are super great people.

Last Saturday I told you about my whirlwind trip to Missouri to surprise my cousin Deidre Boggs. Deidre completed her four years at Ozark Bible Institute. She majored in Christian Education. I am super proud of her for persevering and working so hard!  

I was thrilled to be in Neosho, Missouri last Friday and cheer as Deidre's name was called. We had a whole pew full of family and friends there from Ohio cheering for Deidre.

Deidre, I love you my, "Sister" Cousin! I can not wait to see what God has ahead for you.

I also had several other friends graduating from Ozark Bible Institute this year. It was great to see them graduating too! Congratulations to all the 2016 Graduating Class of Ozark Bible Institute! All of your hard work has paid off.  

Below are the rest of pictures from my trip.

Thank you, Aunt Karen and Uncle Steve, for picking me up and taking me back to the airport so very early in the morning. I appreciate all your help to make this trip a success!

Flight from Joplin, Missouri to Dallas Fort Worth Texas

After a quick plane change it was on to Phoenix. 

I have to close with a picture of my delicious lunch. This was the picture I sent to my Uncle Steve letting him know I was "home".  There is nothing quite like a burrito from Humberto's. 

Thanks for reading! Have a fantastic weekend.
