Weekend Woundup and Weview June 18, 2018.

Tent Revival in Amber, Oklahoma wrapped up with a wonderful faith building service on Friday night. The Lord moved in a powerful way in the altar service and it really was a grand finale.

We appreciate all of the visitors that came to tent revival and we sure appreciate the people from the Amber Mission Holiness Church. They were so  kind to us and I am thankful God visited us all in revival. It was a pleasure to work along side of them and Pastor Russell Cheek and his precious family.

Here are a few pictures from Friday night.

You can see many more pictures from tent revival in Amber HERE.

The tent came down without much trouble at all on Friday night after church. I was thankful that it was completely dry and we were able to get it packed up Friday night. Praise God for the good help to get the work done too!

It was mostly too dark for good pictures, but Odie snapped several. I will try to post them later.

She also was able to capture a few pictures during fellowship after taking down the tent.

I took this picture Saturday morning with the tent gone, but the trailer still in place.

Bro. Cheek helped me move the trailer to the street and then we hooked it up to the BoggsMobile and pointed it toward Oklahoma City. We can not get the bus into the parking lot at Landmark Holiness Tabernacle so we are staying in an RV Park. The RV Park does not have space for the tent trailer so we had to make other arrangements for it.

We pulled it to Mt. Vernon Holiness Church in Oklahoma City and Pastor Rickey Searcy backed it in next to his garage.

Here is the BoggsMobile at Mt. Vernon before going on to the RV Park.

After we settled in at the RV Park, we slipped over to Chelino's on 42nd and Robinson to meet Bro. Rickey and his family for a late lunch. It was as good as I remember it being! Wow!

We rested a bit Saturday evening and then drove a little over an hour to be in church with our friends. Bro. Larry Landress and Sis. Rosemary are very diligent to go out of their way to be in service with us on a regular basis. For years they have showed up all kinds of places. We rarely get to return the favor so we wanted to slip in to one service of the annual fellowship meeting at their home church.

Of course we also were able to see Bro. Jeffrey and Sis. Rebecca Blankenship and their girls too. They attend the same church. We visited briefly with several more long time friends like Bro. Bruce and Sis. Priscilla Mayhan and many more. I am glad we went.

Sunday morning we sang and preached at Crosslight Chapel in Moore, Oklahoma. This is an outreach church started by Bro. Lendell and Sis. Cyndi Birdsong and a great group of volunteers. We absolutely loved the awesome service!

We love this work and we can not wait to go back soon. I love helping and encouraging folks to reach out beyond the four walls of the church and bring people to Christ. 

Thank you Bro. and Sis. Birdsong for inviting us to be with you!

I even got in on the Father's Day gifts!

Sunday afternoon we took our sound equipment to Landmark, set up and began revival with Pastor Jeremy Brooks and his folks. We had a tremendous first night!

We love Bro. Brooks and his family. We look forward to spending time with them this week and having five more great services.

Did I mention that one of the best taco trucks is not very far way?

Yep, this is going to be a memorable week!

Thanks for dropping in today.

A Special Day - June 17, 2018

Today is a special day for several reasons, but it is especially special because it is Father's Day. May God bless all of the Dads reading today.

I have a special tribute that I am posting to my Dad today. I have posted this poem on multiple occasions and I mean every word of it.

I love you, Dad.

.

You Taught Me

Dad, you bought me a bike when I was three and taught me how to ride.

You pushed a while and then let go, I thought you were beside.

You said I picked it up real quick and said I went fast too.

Dad, my only dream when I was young was to go half as fast as you.

-

You taught me how to bat and how to throw a ball.

While others came to play the game, You said “son, give it your all”.

I loved it Dad when the crowd would scream, “hit it out of here”.

But, Dad, I hit that ball with all my might just to hear you cheer.

-

You taught me how to swim and dive. We had so much fun.

You’d bury me up to my neck in the sand and bake me in the sun.

You’d throw us in and jump in too, we’d scream and splash and shout.

When the sun went down and we had to go home, you had to nearly pull us out.

-

Playing football in the fall, I’d run and push and fight.

I’d work all week and kill myself to play on Friday night.

Every game I’d push the limit trying to do my best.

You were standing at the thirty-yard line, I wanted to pass your test.

-

You taught me how to work, Dad, although I didn’t like it then.

You taught me the value of a hard days work, when to save and when to spend.

You taught me to respect other people and how to put others first.

To say sir and mam, please and thank-you, to see people at their best and not their worst.

-

There’s one thing you’ve taught me often, Dad, that I’ve been slow to learn.

“Take care of the name I’ve given you son, It’s something I’ve had to earn.”

There’s been several times, through the years, when my head’s hung in shame.

When I’ve drug the name you’ve given me through the mud. I know it’s caused you pain.

-

But you’ve been faithful to me, through the good times and the bad.

When you should have left me in defeat, You’ve been there for me Dad.

You were there to pick up the pieces, though I lost when I should have won.

The greatest thing you’ve taught me Dad is how deeply you love your son.

-

The bats and balls and other things have faded in the past.

I’m trying to trade these temporal things for something that will last.

I’m sure I’ve got a lot to learn. I’ve only just begun.

But the greatest thing you’ve taught me, Papa, is how deeply The Father Loves His sons.

I hope you have a great Sunday. Thank you for sharing a few moments of it with us.

Happy Father’s Day 2018

Hey Friends,

This is Odie reporting in once again from Oklahoma. The BoggsMobile will travel a short distance today to Oklahoma City. 

Tomorrow we start revival with Pastor Jeremy Brooks. We are looking forward to a wonderful week at Landmark Holiness Tabernacle in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We love to visit in this area and get to see so many longtime friends. You are invited to join us in a revival service too. 

This past week under the gospel tent was incredible! From the first prayer last Saturday afternoon, after setup, the Lord showed up. It always amazing me to see God touching the church people and drawing the community to Him. It was a pleasure to work with Pastor Russell Cheek and the congregation of Amber Mission Holiness Church. They were well prepared and hungry for revival.

I want to wish all the Fathers a Happy Father’s Day! I am blessed to have several Godly men that have influenced me. I am so grateful for their friendship and guidance! My Pastor, Bennie Sutherland, and men all over this country have been father figures to me. I thank all of them for investing in my life. 

My Heavenly Father is the only reason I am alive and saved today. I thank Him for giving me life and a reason to live. If you are looking for someone to be your father figure, allow me to point you to God. He will be a Father to the Fatherless! Call on God right now, and He will hear you. He is always with you. The Father above will wrap you in his arms and love you!

God blessed me with the best earthly Father! I am so proud of my Dad. I love to see him preaching God’s word. 

Daddy, you are my hero! I love you “more than a hog loves slop”! I always struggle to put my feelings for you into words. 

Thank for being my provider, corrector, teddy bear, teacher, cheaufuerr, builder, friend and so much more. I am so thankful that you are in my life! Thank you for letting me know that you will always be in my corner. Your support and love mean the world to me. 

You are the best Daddy a girl could ask for. Please know I mean this from the bottom of my heart! 

Happy Father’s Day!!

I have two awesome Papaws. They are great role models and they are my encouragers! I am so thankful God blessed me beyond measure in the grandfather department of life. Papaw Eugene and Papaw Danny are both integral parts of my life. I love them both so much! I am very thankful I still have them to lean on and love on.

My Dad and Papaws have worked so hard on the house project! I appreciate every moment they have spent working for my benefit. It is special knowing they turned the house into a home!! They have turned my dreams and visions into a reality. I definitely can not say thank you enough.

Thank you for stopping by to visit with us. I hope you have a superb weekend.
