The Weekend Dispatch

Our weekend began on Thursday when Bro.Jared Burris from our home church spent the day at the barn doing some much needed work. We appreciate him taking time to help us on a few projects. We also really enjoyed visiting with our dear friends. 

This barn was built in 1982 but the rafters needed more bracing to prevent movement  and there was no walkway down the center of the rafters. Brother Jared took care of both of those items and also fixed the metal and trim around the front overhead door.

We installed the overhead door a few years ago, but I have never been able to get the outside metal and trim completed. I did not take any pictures, but I will try to get some pictures of the finished work.

Friday night was our fifth night in our Summer Revival Series. Thank you very much for watching and commenting. 

We made our way to Carter Caves State Park near Olive Hill, Kentucky with my parents for the Boggs family reunion. This was our first time attending since 2021. In 22 we were preaching in California the week before the reunion and Colorado on reunion day. In 2023 we were in the northeast preaching. 

We had a great time visiting with friends and family and we enjoyed the actual reunion very much. Here are a few pictures and we hope to have more tomorrow.

Sunday morning we checked out of the state park cottage we rented with mom and dad and we went south about 40 minutes to Laurel Gorge Enterprise Baptist Church near Sandy Hook, Kentucky. Sandy Hook is actually where our Boggs family hails from. 

Several of my dad‘s first cousins and their families attend this church. It was wonderful to see so many of them and get to be in church with them. We have sang and preached in several of the area churches where our family attends, but we do not get to be in church with them often enough.

A few years ago, Dad took us by the old church in the country that my Great-Grandmother Mary Boggs attended along with her children. Sunday, I found out the Laurel Gorge Church is the same That church. They moved to this new location several years ago.

We really enjoyed the service and they received us with open arms.

Long time readers may remember seeing George Boggs on the blog several times before. George is one of dad‘s first cousins and he and his family are very dear to our hearts. 

Kelly Jo drove us back home Sunday night and we were glad when The Lazy OD Ranch came into view.

That pretty much wraps of the weekend. Thanks for joining us. May God bless you.
