Beechfork Holiness Church - Revival In Pictures

It has been another great week at Beechfork Holiness Church. We love coming to our Tennessee home! Pastor Herman and Sis. Margaret Woods are like parents to us and have been for over 30 years. They have embraced us and their church family has followed their example. We have embraced them all in return.

God has helped us each night of this revival and we are anticipating His help on this final night. I would love to see the church folks truly encouraged and blessed as a result of revival. God has certainly proven Himself able and willing to help us.

This is a Revival In Pictures post so let us get to the reason you came. Here are the pictures from Beechfork Holiness Church this week.

Hotel Life Versus Bus Life

We have spent our fair share of nights in hotels and motels. We have pretty much traveled all of our adult lives, always going some where in a hurry. We have now spent a combined total of 17 years in full time travel and as far as we know, there is no end in sight.

We have stayed in Sunday School rooms, fellowship halls, evangelist quarters, parsonages, Pastor's homes and a bunch of hotels. Hotels are the easiest for us because most of them are accessible to Odie. We do tire quickly of hotels though.

We love the comfort and satisfaction of having our own bed every night and some privacy for our family. It is also very important to have space that Odie can navigate and not be limited. Most homes and evangelist quarters are not accessible for her and most folks understand that.

We talk to people out here on the road that travel for business and some of them are in two to three different cities a week for weeks on end. They live out of a suitcase and go from one hotel to the other. That gets old in a week or two!

That is why we go to the great expense and aggravation of hauling our home around with us. I get tempted at times to believe that we are "wasting" money that could be better spent and then we stay a couple of weeks in a hotel and I am slapped back into reality.

The last two weeks we were in a very nice hotel. It was clean and comfortable and the employees were friendly and helpful. It could not have been much nicer, but it was not our home.

We could not cook, could not play music loud, could not talk loud after church and could not regulate the temperature properly. We could hear the babies cry, the dogs bark, the kids racing in the hallway upstairs, the neighbors snore, the early risers close their door and the cleaning staff start to work.

Those are not complaints, just the reality of hotel life.

It was so good to get back to the BoggsMobile and enjoy our little home on wheels. It is expensive, exasperating and even enraging at times, but it is our home. We are very thankful for the BoggsMobile.

There is one thing about hotel life that we dearly love. IF you have ever spent more than a few weeks in an RV, you know that water is always limited. Either the water supply is limited in the fresh water tank, the hot water is limited to the very few gallons in an RV water heater or the tank capacity for the drain water is extremely limited.

For us, all three of those limitations usually apply in the BoggsMobile. That means careful water conservation and navy showers. What is a navy shower?

A navy shower (also known as a "combat shower" or "military shower") is a method of showering that allows for significant conservation of water and energy by turning off the flow of water in the middle portion of the shower while lathering.

Hotel life reverses all that for us. We have unlimited water, unlimited hot water and unlimited drain capacity. I know. We should be concerned about the world water supply and conserve water anyway, but give us a break. This is our one indulgence!😁

This last hotel had the hottest water we have ever had in a hotel and we enjoyed every drop of it. I think we all took at least two long hot showers every day! We were squeaky clean by the time we left London, Kentucky.

But it is still good to be home! We will take the bus any day, even over long hot limitless showers!

Thanks for reading.

Celebrating 60 Years At Dryden Rd.

Revival

We have had four good services so far at Beechfork Holiness church. It has been so easy to preach and they have been responding in the altar very well. We are expecting three more wonderful services this week. I love revival!

House

I mentioned earlier that we plan to break ground on the house for Odie to live in the week after Easter if all goes as planned. We are still trying to line up all the contractors for the beginning stages but I believe it is all coming together. I know that many of you are praying about this with us and I appreciate it. I need God's guidance in many, many areas, probably more than I even realize.

Dryden Rd. Pentecostal Church

We are excited to be home that week for an additional reason. Our home church, Dryden Rd. Pentecostal Church will be celebrating 60 years on Dryden Rd. and 70 years as a church Easter week. They will have special services beginning resurrection Sunday and continuing all week long. It will be a special time.

Associate Pastor Gary Lee will be preaching Sunday morning and then preachers that grew up at Dryden Rd. will be preaching each night during the week. The schedule, as I understand it, is as follows.

Monday - Evangelist Bill Houston

Tuesday - Pastor Dallas Lakes

Wednesday - Pastor Larry Daugherty

Thursday - Pastor Darrell Meadow

Our Pastor for over 39 of those 60 years at Dryden Rd, Pastor Bennie Sutherland will finish it up on Friday.

It is going to be an awesome time all week long and we are very excited about being there every service. I am thankful that Bro. Bennie planned this celebration way ahead of time and mentioned it to us over a year ago so that we could make plans to attend.

Join us that week if you can.

Thank you for reading today.
