Marvelous Monday!

Revival

Wow! What a wonderful revival service Monday night! To say we had a breakthrough would be a tremendous understatement! God moved in the altar service in a powerful way! It was awesome to see! I do not know how many young people responded and prayed for salvation but it was several! Praise God for His amazing help.

I love revival. You know that. God reviving people, giving new life, saving souls, healing bodies encouraging saints is what revival brings. It does not matter if the church is big or small, in the country or in the city, real revival is what we need and real revival will change us for the good. We have been getting a glimpse of that this year and we are thrilled.

I long to be an instrument that God can use to bring revival. I want to be tuned in to God and speak His Word faithfully and dependably. I find myself falling short of that often, but I am still striving.

House

In the midst of revival we also made some progress on the house Monday. I turned in the application for the building permit to Warren County Friday March 17th. They said it would be processed in 3-5 days and then they would mail a letter.

The application was approved that very day and the letter was typed on Monday the 20th. It came in the mail on Saturday the 25th. The people in the county office have been extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with and I appreciate that very much. I am a novice at this part of building and they have been patient with all my questions.

Since the permit was ready to be picked up and I am closer to home than I will be the next few weeks, I made the trip home to get it. I left late Sunday night and made it in about 1:30  AM Monday morning and left at 11:15 after a whirlwind morning with the permit in my hand. I was back at the hotel by 2:15 PM with plenty of time to get ready for church and even a small nap!



I am still waiting on definitive prices from excavators but we are now legal to dig the footer the week after Easter! We have a long way to go for a house to be built but a multitude of things have fallen into place to bring us this far. We are terrifically thankful!

Good news, a grand travel day and a great revival service made up a Marvelous Monday!

Thank you for reading today.

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.

Weekend Woundup and Weview # 12

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.
