A Few Random Pictures From Home

It really is good to be home. We have hit the ground running like always and the weather is pure winter but home sure feels great. We spent an hour or so visiting at my parents, had Christmas dinner at our home church, preached at Dodds Sunday morning, preached at Dryden Rd.Sunday night, drove to Hillsboro to visit with some of Kelly Jo's family, went to the children's church play tonight and put out Odie's Newsletter. Other than that we've just been relaxing. Lol


The first picture is of the roads on the way to church Sunday night and the second is a shot of the weather when I first checked it this morning. The last three are a few pictures of the kids tonight. I love these little guys!


I hope you all are having a good December. In less than two weeks we will be back on the road and closer to our normal routine, whatever that is...


God bless you all.

Finale In Pics

Here are the pics Mom and I caught with my camera Wednesday night. Wednesday was our final night with Pastor John Gabbard.

We had four great services at Bond Holiness Church! God was definitely trying to build the faith of all His children, me included!

As I said before it was so good to be with so many friends. There is no way in the world to thank them for all their kindness to us! Sis Ann and the ladies fixed so much wonderful food for us. I am sure Dad may have a Bond food post sometime! LOL

Several of my Bond friends are regular Mile Marker readers. Thanks y'all for reading! Also I was so glad to see Sis. Ivy this week. She is a faithful reader.

Sis. Ivy, her husband Bro. Steven and Trinity came three services of revival. Also Tuesday night Bro. Mathew Noe and Bro. Chris McKinney visited revival. They attend Olde Path Holiness Church in Danville, Kentucky. We are thankful for their fellowship! I missed you, Ashlee and Lacey! Okay, you paid me back for missing campmeeting. LOL

We are now in Ohio. I am glad to be home!

Bond Kentucky

We are having a great time this week in Bond, Kentucky! It is so good to be with our friends. We first came to campmeeting at Bond in September 1988. The people here quickly became our dear friends.

Bond Holiness Church is like our home away from home. Pastor John and Sis. Ann Gabbard have always welcomed us with open arms! We love them so much!!

The pics above are of some the people we look forward to seeing at Bond.
1 Courtney Gabbard & Kelly Jo

Winter


Winter has arrived! We are in Bond, Kentucky and so is Winter. The picture above is the BoggsMobile parked at the Bond Fellowship Hall yesterday. It is cold and still snowing but we are staying warm inside. The heat is on and we are nice and cozy.

We were only able to have one service yesterday but the Lord came near and spoke to our hearts and folks were touched. Please help us pray for revival here at Bond. Bro. Gabbard and his congregation are dear friends to us. They have ministered to our family so many times through the years and we desire to be used of God to minister to families this week. Thanks for praying.

The forecast for the next few days and then the temperature right now.

Chicken Pox Christmas

With Christmas so close I always remember the memories of Christmas' past. This year maybe I can share them with you.


Christmas 2005 is a memory that is engraved in my mind. First I must rewind a couple weeks. We went to a church for revival where several of the children had Chicken Pox. Also this is an important fact to remember: Dad nor I had never had Chicken Pox before.

We left that revival drove overnight and boarded a plane for Mexico. I prayed the whole week that I would not break out while there! I remember inspecting every mysterious bump I had that week.

On Monday before Christmas we made it back to Ohio. I was so happy to be home for the holidays! All day Tuesday I was in bed. The trip to Mexico wore me out, or so I thought.

Wednesday was laundry day. My parents had been trying to encourage me to work through sickness. I was trying to help Mom with the laundry but I felt horrible.

At this point we were the only two in the laundry mat. Mom looked at my face and then my back and realized I was breaking out with Chicken Pox. All I could do was cry!

Yes at 20 years old I had Chicken Pox for the first and I pray last time. They are hard on an old person! I broke out for three days. I spent a total of nine days stuck in our trailer before I was completely scabbed over. It was a miserable Christmas!!

Dad tried his best to stay far away from me. He survived without getting them. Its a miracle! He was exposed when I was and then again when I had them. He didn't hug me for three weeks! LOL

Thanks again to the few brave family members who visited me! Deidre and I played Scrabble untill we were sick of it. Some family members were scared of my house. I really don't blame them!

I am glad that is passed! That year the Grinch didn't steal Christmas. It was that mean chicken.

Monterey Bay Aquarium From The Canon's View

Back in October I visited Monterey Bay Aquarium with several members of the Burris family. I mentioned it in an earlier Blog post. I also had posted pics that Miriam took with her phone. Today I wanted to share the best shots from my camera.

It was a great day! I had a blast with my friends! The day was full of fun.

God's creatures are amazing! Jelly Fish, Star Fish, Penguins, and Sand Dollars are just some of the interesting things we saw that day.
