Week and Weekend Write Up 4/26/21

Some of you follow Mile Markers closely and check our schedule regularly. If that is the case, then you are expecting me to be writing from Oklahoma this week. I am very sorry to report that we did not make the trip to Oklahoma. 

I wanted to be with Pastor Toliver and Bethany Holiness Church so badly, but I could not feel like I could pull it off. When Bro. Toliver called me several weeks ago, I had just canceled our west coast trip, but I was gaining ground pretty steady. The next week is when I had a setback and I have never been able to get back to that point in recovery.

I do feel like I am close, but in some ways that makes it worse. I am close to being able, but not quite far enough along to do it. Bro. Toliver was very gracious and I appreciate that so much. I felt like an egg-sucking dog.

Week And Weekend Write Up

This week has involved driving, visiting, working, eating, snowing and mowing.😁

I wanted to see if I could drive without any problems so we jumped in the Jeep and drove about a few hours Tuesday and a few more hours Thursday. I am happy to report that I passed my self-test with flying colors. I was able to drive without needing a nap while driving or immediately following.

We have a few pictures of our midweek.

Of course, that is not the same as driving the bus, but I will work on that when the time comes. I worked on a bus project one day, but I will have a separate post on that this week.

We had a pretty good-sized snow on Wednesday April 21!

Thankfully it was mostly melted and gone by mid-afternoon. By Friday morning, KJo was mowing again. She is getting in quite a bit of practice time on the mower.

Kelly was mowing and I was working on the bus Friday when dear friends called wanting to bring us lunch. Bro. Jeff and Sis. Debbie Roberts showed up in a few minutes bearing precious gifts from Acapulco Mexican Restaurant and also bringing wonderful fellowship. We enjoyed their visit so much. Thank you, friends.

We have been going to church at Dryden Rd. with Jeff and Debbie for over 32 years. May God bless them for their kindness and thoughtfulness.

Saturday I piddled around on a project in the barn most of the day, taking frequent breaks and otherwise being lazy. KJo was hard at work in the bus. When we are in one place for more than a week, we tend to clutter up the bus and she is decluttering.

I spent the evening in my study and she made a grocery run. I think Odie spent all afternoon at my parent's home. It has been a long time since she has done that. Long time readers may remember Odie used to spend a lot of time there before we built the house.

Sunday morning I could barely walk or lift my arms when I first got up. No, I was not having another COVID setback, I was paying for stretching and straining and crawling on the concrete floor working on the bus and the barn the previous two days. I paid for it all day long Sunday.😒😊

We really enjoyed the preaching and the rest of the service at Dryden Rd. Sunday. Praise God for a great Pastor and a great home church.

Today, KJo and I plan to dive headfirst into bookwork for both our personal finance and the ministry. We have been doing our best to keep the books up to date the last 12 weeks, but today is total catch up day! Our annual filing for Boggs Family Ministries is due soon and we need to have everything in order to get that completed.

Thank you for joining us today. I hope you have a great week.
