God Still Has It All In Control

Hey Friends,

It is Wednesday, I don't have A Word for Wednesday for you. I I do think it would be fitting to post a video featuring Dad. 

This was originally posted to our blog and YouTube in February 2021. This is a song from a service in Livingston, Texas. This was recorded at the Beech Creek Assembly with Pastor Don Goodwin.

On this particular Sunday, we were not scheduled to be in Texas. I believe God ordained for us to be in the service. This is just one of the ways that God showed us He was indeed in control!

One week later Covid forever changed our lives. Dad and I were diagnosed with Covid for the first time the following Sunday, January 31, 2021. Dad never fully recovered from Covid and the many health problems that followed after that. One thing we never forget and never will: God is in control!

This powerful service has never strayed far from my memory since it happened. I am so grateful that it was caught on camera and recorded. We forever have the memories with us! I went back last night and rewatched this video. I wanted to hear, in particular, the message that came from God during this song!  It gave me great solace, even now. 

Wow, there was no way we could know what the future held for our family. But God was speaking to us even then! Today, I hold onto his promises. I trust that He still has it all in control!

Please take time to watch this video. Also, I will post the link to the post Dad wrote about this day on the blog himself. It is worth rereading!

Thanks for visiting with me! See you tomorrow. To quote Dad, "Ciao for now."

Tribute to Davy By Larry Smith

Hey Friends,

This is Odie checking in for another Tuesday. Thank you for dropping by to visit with me. I appreciate all of you who have let me know that you are still enjoying the blog. I am doing my best to keep it going.

Today, I have another tribute for you that was sent to me about my Dad. Our dear friend wrote this tribute that we affectionally call “Uncle Larry”. Uncle Larry lives in Ellisville, Mississippi, where he attends First Assembly. He is an exceptional friend to our family. Dad often referred to Uncle Larry as his hero! 

The special day Uncle Larry talks about in his tribute below will always be a highlight in our lives! It was special for us to spend time with him and his Vietnam brothers! We were honored to be there to support our friend!

“Our Bro Davy Boggs has gone to be with the Lord he has preached about for all these years and here is something to show how special him and his family are.

They were starting a meeting in the Dallas area at the same time we were holding our Vietnam reunion. On Friday afternoon they took time out of their busy schedule to spend time with me and my Vietnam brother's. That's what makes the Boggs family so very special to me and especially to our church. I hope they know how much we love them.”

Uncle Larry, thank you for your service to our country! Thank you for being our friend You will forever be our hero. Thanks for the invitation to join you for such a special event! 

In answer to your question, we know that you love us and your church loves us! You all have proven it time and time again! Thank you for your prayers and standing by us!

Thanks for reading! See you next time!

Sunday Sanity 12/1/24

 Hey Friends,

I hope you have a great Sunday. Here is a quote I heard this week. It spoke deep to my soul. I knew I had to share it with my friends today. 

“Time doesn't heal all wounds, but eternity does.”

Pastor Brent Gabbard

Oh, what a blessed thought. One day, we will be free entirely from the hurts of life!
