#22 Weekend Woundup and Weview

This weekend was a wild roller coaster ride weather wise but it was still a great weekend after all. Thursday overnight we had two massive storms blow through so Friday was a very soggy day.



We were able to park cars on the tent site Friday night but we could not park on all of it. The folks parked tight on the section we could use and others parked in other lots and walked to the tent. It worked out good. The weather during service Friday night was perfect.

Kelly Jo and Odie got up very early Friday and drove across Dallas to Terrell, Texas to pick up Bro. Shobanke. This is his last weekend in the states this trip and we were so glad to get to see him. This was the first time he has been with us in the tent and we were thrilled to have him in the service Friday night.

We enjoyed the fellowship with our friend very much. We also did some planning for our trip to Nigeria later this year. We are very excited about going back to see our many friends in Africa.

Saturday morning Kelly Jo and Odie made the same trip with Bro. Shobanke again and met some one from Bro. Sam Snow's church in Kilgore. He was preaching there yesterday.

The weather after the storms on Thursday night looked absolutely perfect through the weekend. The tent was very dry on Saturday night so it seemed we would have no problem getting the tent down dry Sunday evening. When I left the tent Sunday morning at 2:00 AM there was no rain in the forecast or on the radar at all.

All that changed about 4:30 AM. The clouds busted and the bottom fell out of the sky. It rained for quite a while and by the time it was finished the tent and the ground around the tent was a soggy mess.

Bro. Jimmy preached at Victory Sunday morning and Odie snapped a few pictures.

Thankfully we had sunshine and wind Sunday and the tent was ready to take down ... until we had a little shower about 5:30 PM AND a very little shower in the midst of bright sunshine during church. All of this happened during a window with a 5% chance of rain. I was sure that pretty much blew our chance of getting the tent down Sunday.

The sun stayed out the rest of the service and when church was over the tent was bone dry! It is absolutely amazing but we got the tent down dry!

The whole week has been amazing. We arrived a week ago Thursday to a giant puddle and mud and a forecast of heavy rain for ten days straight. Tent revival really looked hopeless. It looked impossible. But nothing is impossible with God! We had seven nights with no rain during church and a very, brief rain during the service the last night and still took the tent down dry! Praise God!

After the tent was down and packed away, Bro. Jimmie headed north toward Tulsa and we went out for our first after church fellowship of the week.

That pretty much wraps up our weekend. We plan to drive to Prevost Ft. Worth later today for an early morning appointment there Tuesday. When we are finished there, we will move on down to Sweeny, Texas for three services.

Thanks for reading.

Weekend Woundup and Weview

Odie's post yesterday was a very sweet birthday tribute to my Dad, Eugene Boggs. It is worth a click over there if you have not read it. 

Another post this week generated a bunch if interest and feedback. It was our post about Bro. Larry Smith. Evidently it spoke to folks so close to Memorial Day when we remember those that gave all in active military service. 

Heroes deserve to be honored and we are thrilled to honor Bro. Larry. it was our great privilege to be invited to spend a few minutes with him during the reunion.

Our view has not changed out the window since last week so I thought I would share my view right now as I type this post.

This has been our view a bunch of the time this week.

This was my view in the middle of a toad strangler rain storm Thursday night.

I hope your have a great Sunday!

Happy Birthday Papaw Eugene

Hello Friends,

This is Odie coming to you once again from Texas. City Reach Fort Worth has been wonderful. As Dad says, it still amazes us to watch God draw people in. We are so thankful for His help. God has answered many prayers this week. I give Him all the glory!  My God is awesome!

We still have two nights left of this City Reach. We are excited to see what God has planned. Please join us service tonight is at 7:30 PM and tomorrow, Sunday, at 6:00 PM. 

Happy Memorial Day weekend!  We are blessed to have several family members and friends that have served our country. Thank you for your sacrifice! I am thankful for all our American Heroes that have fought for and protected our freedoms. If you missed Dad's post Thursday please check it out. You can read about our friend and hero Bro. Larry Smith. 

We have a special Navy veteran in our Boggs family, my Papaw Eugene. I am proud of him and I love to hear him tell stories of his adventures in the Navy!

Today just happens to be my Papaw's birthday! Happy Birthday, Papaw! I love you so much! Thank you for being a super Papaw.  I wish I was home to celebrate with you. I hope you have a fabulous birthday and get lots of spoiling. 

When I was a small girl, Papaw taught me to shake birthday cards to see if money fell out. So, Papaw, shake all your cards!

Loving my Papaw is not about all the things he does for us. He is a great Papaw to me and all the others before he does one thing. But he does not stop there. He is always doing something to prove his love and improve our lives and I can not say thank you enough.

I hope you have a great day, Papaw! Happy Birthday!

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. I will leave you with a few pictures of my Papaw Eugene.

City Reach Ft. Worth - Revival In Pictures

It is time for some pictures from City Reach! We have been having a wonderful time each night and we are very thankful the Lord is working in lives and hearts. I know that many of you are interested in what God is doing and we love telling you about it and love showing you the pictures.

We have had five great services of City Reach Ft. Worth under the Blue and White Gospel Tent. To God be the glory for the great things that he has done. We had more neighbors here tonight that were so thankful we are here preaching and singing in their neighborhood.

I am sitting out under the tent right now and we have just endured a mighty rainstorm and high winds mixed with wicked lightning and thunder. It is still raining but the tent rode it all out very well. 

Thankfully we have had five services with no rain during church. I do not know what the weekend holds but we are praising God for no rain one service at a time.

By God's grace we are expecting a special treat at City Reach Ft. Worth tonight, Friday. Kelly Jo and Odie are leaving early this morning to meet Pastor Sam Snow and pick up Bro. Shobanke. He is coming to spend the day with us and be is service with us under the tent. We are just a little super duper excited!
I wish you all could be here with us but maybe you can enjoy a little of the City Reach Tent Revival in Pictures. Hopefully we will have more pictures next week.

Thanks for checking in today.

Sound Check Wednesday night. By the way, the Meyer sound equipment that Ben Isaacs donated to City Reach and Boggs Family Ministries is working out great! We are getting so much clarity even at lower volumes and the subs sound awesome!
