#29 Weekend Woundup and Weview

Our weekend began with the ending of City Reach Dayton. Here is the tent Friday before the last service.



We had a good crowd Friday night and a wonderful service. Several more folks responded in the altar and I was thrilled with that! It was amazing to see God work the way He did all week long. I love watching people approach God and I love watching God receive them with open arms. I never get tired of the whole process!

We had super help this week from the Dryden Rd. musicians. I have posted various pictures of them in action and I think there might be some below. Only one of them has Boggs Family Ministries approved instrument though. Bro. Michael Alexander played his green bass during City Reach Dayton. He definitely ready to join the Green Machine and the Boggs Family Band!

After service a bunch of the folks stayed to pull things down and wrap them up. Most of the hard work was completed in just a little while and we were ready to roll away. Here are a few pictures. I plan to post more later.

Bro. Jimmie left for the barn but we stayed the night at the tent site since we were not in a huge hurry and Kelly Jo and I were both pretty tired. We planned to leave but I made the mistake of sitting down after I went inside.

I woke up to this view Saturday morning and it sure did look strange without the tent.

This picture show how close to downtown the tent was set up.

I left there and drove 10 miles north to Flying J in order to empty our holding tanks. Then I retraced my route, came back by the tent site and then on to the barn. When I arrived, Kelly Jo had the barn doors open and in a few minutes we were parked.

Saturday for lunch Kelly Jo and I slipped down to Acapulco for a little salsa!

Bro. Jimmie was preparing to leave early Sunday so we went to eat with him Saturday evening. We will be separated for a few weeks until we crank up our next City Reach and we miss Bro. Jimmie already! I love this man and love having him with us.

Odie spent the day with Kelly Jo's family and went to church with them on Sunday morning.

We went to Dryden Rd. Sunday morning and then met Kelly Jo's parents and Odie at Acapulco for a late lunch. It was great as usual.

Sunday night we were preaching for Pastor Bruce McGuire and the Rt. 4 Holiness Pentecostal Church. It was great to have then join with us in City Reach Dayton and it was really good to be back with them at their church. We used to visit Rt. 4 a lot on Wednesdays and revivals before we moved to Kansas in 1999 and we have wonderful memories of tremendous blessings there.

That pretty much wraps up our long weekend. Thanks for reading.

Weekend Woundup and Weview

This was our view out the front window most of the week during City Reach Dayton.

This was our view from the same position on Saturday morning after the tent was down.

This is our view out the window this week at the Lazy OD Ranch.

I hope you have a great Sunday.

A Glimpse Into My Week

Hello,

This is Odie checking in once again from the beautiful state of Ohio. We had a fantastic week under the tent! God answered our prayers and gave us a marvelous move of His spirit in City Reach Dayton. I was thrilled to see several seeking for and finding God in every service. Thank you for joining us in prayer! I am sad to see this City Reach end!

Last night was a wonderful finale. There were several people in the altar seeking God for salvation and receiving His touch. When the service was completed the tent came down nicely and I know that my Dad is relieved about that.

I wanted to share a little bit of my week outside of City Reach. Let me back up to last Friday evening. I was at my grandparents and I set my phone on their kitchen counter. When I went to roll away from the counter my headphones were attached both to the phone and my wheelchair. I heard my phone fall to the tile floor and I was immediately sick to my stomach. I picked up the phone to see a cracked (shattered) screen. 

Thankfully I have insurance and by Tuesday morning I had a replacement phone with a clear screen. 

Wednesday morning I had a checkup at Dayton Eye Associates. I am really thankful for this group of Doctors. They have been extremely helpful to me over the last 2 years. Thank God I received another great report this week. Everything looks great and I am praising God! 

When I first visited Dayton Eye Associates in April 2014 God had already began to restore my vision and I was barely able to see out of my left eye. God has now completely restored my vision to better than it was before my sudden loss of vision. 

Wednesday was my checkup with Dr. Amy Kopp. She is a great, caring doctor and is so good to understand my crazy unpredictable schedule. 

Deidre was kind enough to be my chauffeur Wednesday. We celebrated the good report with lunch. I really enjoyed our time together. 

Thursday I spent some of the afternoon with my Aunt Theresa and cousin Lauren Osborn. It was great to catch up with them and enjoy a delicious lunch at Royce Cafe and Coffee House in Lebanon, Ohio. We then did some window shopping at a few of the shops in downtown Lebanon. 

I had the lunch special of the day. Ham and Cheese Panini with Cheesy Vegetable Soup!  

Topped in off with a fabulous Lemon Cream Smoothie

I will close with another highlight of my week. I love getting to see my beautiful cousin and friend Jacqueline Coffman!  This week I have been blessed to be with her at City Reach Dayton every single night. It has been a joy.

I think I posted the following picture before but it is a favorite of mine.

Jacque sent it to me while I was typing this post and I had to include it. It is definitely a trip down memory lane. The picture was taken at our first Kentucky Outreach Revival in the summer of 2003. 

Thanks for reading!
