Weekend Woundup and Weview #13

This was an unusually rare type of weekend for us. Revival ending on Friday and another one beginning on Sunday morning is usual enough. That is normal. That is what we have come to expect and enjoy. But ending revival on Friday and beginning another one on Sunday with no travel in between is very unusual. 

First Pentecostal Church and Liberty Holiness Church have only about 6 miles between them. Since the BoggsMobile is in the shop, we are staying in the same hotel in London for both revivals, so no travel on Saturday. I must admit that it felt a little weird.

Friday night we enjoyed one last great service with Pastor Vernon Jarvis and all of his folks at First Pentecostal. We really enjoyed the whole week and the last night capped it off nicely.










We are only about 200 miles from home and I thought I might need to go home to tend to construction stuff Saturday. Dad and Mom took care of finding one of the property pins for me so I did not have to make the trip. We had a great day preparing for Sunday and helping Odie blow her nose! (Well the whole family had to stay home just to blow that poor kid's nose. -You get a gold star if you know the song with those lyrics!) She has been sick but she is gaining ground.

Sunday morning we began revival for Pastor Lester Carpenter at Liberty Pentecostal Tabernacle south of London, Kentucky. It has been over two years since we have been here and we are glad to be back.


Our last revival here was in late August, early September 2014. It was a tent revival and the Blue and White Gospel tent was set up right here.

We had wonderful services to get started Sunday and we are expecting God to help us the next three nights! If you are close enough to come be with us, church starts at 7:00 through Wednesday.

That wraps things up. Thank you for reading.

View Out The Front Window March 26, 2017

Here are links to our posts from the last week.




This is our view this past week from the window of our hotel room in London, Kentucky.


That will remain our view for a few more days. We are beginning revival for Pastor Lester Carpenter this morning south of London. I hope you have a great weekend.

Another Soldier Gone Home, Buzzy Deane

Hello Friends, this is Odie again.

It has been a good week. We enjoyed being at First Pentecostal Church with Pastor Vernon and Sis. Marsha Jarvis. The services were great and the fellowship was wonderful too. 

I have been fighting a cold this week. My singing has been more like squawking each night. I tried to squawk in tune but I did not always succeed. That part has not been fun but hopefully I am on the upward swing now. 

One of the greatest blessings of traveling is that we are blessed to know so many wonderful people across the country. Many years ago we met the precious Deane Family from Virginia. The Deane Family became dear friends to us. We are privileged to call them our friends.

The patriarch of the family, Reverend Buzzy Dean left this life a few days ago. He was a soldier of God that lived a full life. Just being in a service with Bro. Buzzy was an encouragement. He loved God, loved God's people, loved being in church and it was evident!!

 


Our hearts are heavy for the entire Deane family. I know they will miss Bro. Buzzy very much. We sadly will not see him again here but we will meet him again in Heaven. I know he is shouting and rejoicing in Heaven. 

The last visit we had in Virginia was in 2015. I went to the blog archives and found pictures of our sweet friend.

We will miss Bro. Buzzy, but we will see him again soon. 

Thanks for reading.
