A New Set Of ComfyGo Wheels

 Hey Friends,

I hope you are having a great day. Thank you for stopping by today.

Most of you know that I use a wheelchair to get from one place to another. I regularly use both a power chair and a manual chair. I have a chair that is my house chair and a power chair that is my travel chair. 

That chair has been a scooter that pops apart for transportation for years. Last year, I started using a foldable power chair that was still quite heavy. We needed two people to load it into our car, and Mom and I could not do it together. 

In late December, I received an email from a great company that I have done business with in the past. Marc’s Mobility was debuting a brand new chair. Their advertising worked, and my interest peeked instantly!

I called Mom in the room to see The New Phoenix by ComfyGo. We were both amazed that the chair folded easily. It weighs 30 lbs without batteries and 36.5 with the batteries in the unit. It has two lithium batteries and is approved for travel by airline, cruise, bus and train. 

The chair is made of carbon fiber, which makes it lighter. That makes it much easier to load and unload. We would be inclined to use the power chair if it was easier on Mom. 

We decided to purchase it from Marc’s. I ordered on December 31st. My contact, Sal, was great to work with and so helpful! I love working with Marc’s Mobility. They are honest, helpful, and a breath of fresh air!

Soon after I placed the order, a ComfyGo Rep contacted me personally to confirm it. Jay has also been incredible to work with. I am super impressed with the customer service. 

Due to holidays and weather, the chair took several days to arrive. I could not wait another day, so I called around until I found its location. We went to our local FedEx station and picked up the box. I was excited to get the chair and try it out!

So far we love it! We have used it a lot! It is really Comfy and helps me Go easily! I am a rolling Phoenix ComfyGo billboard. I have had multiple people stop me asking for information on the chair and take pictures!

I took “Phoenix” last week on vacation. I was able to navigate airports, shuttles, a hotel, cruise terminal, ship and ports of call much easier! The turning radiusis incredible. The chair traveled great. 

I easily took both  batteries out, put them in a bag and carried them to my airplane seats. All lithium batteries must be removed before boarding the plane. The chair folded nicely and fit in a closet on that particular plane. The flight attendants loved the ease of fixing the chair! They were amazed!

Most days of my trip I only used one battery. We on the go all day too! I would charge the battery at night. At the start of the day I would have 2 full batteries. I would flip the switch daily to alternate batteries. 

FYI you must flip a switch on the chair to insure a battery is charging. The batteries do not charge simultaneously. You have to flip the switch to the next battery when it is time for it to charge. If the switch is left in the middle all power to the unit is off, and the batteries will not charge.

Here are some pictures, where you can see my chair in action. I am extremely pleased with my purchase! Looking forward to many adventures ahead with “Phoenix”!

See you tomorrow.

Sunday Morning Recap West Harrison

 Hey Friends,

This is Odie. I am back from a wonderful vacation. I got home late Saturday night. I will post lots of pictures and details later. I have not had time to edit and sort things yet. 

I had a fabulous cruise and flights! Thank God for allowing me to have a smooth vacation. Thanks also to many of you for your prayers and concern for my well-being!

Sunday Morning Recap

We traveled just a little more than an hour to Indiana yesterday. Pastor Wade Hicks invited Mom and me to service Sunday Morning at West Harrison Pentecostal Tabernacle. 

It was so good to see our dear friends again. They have been dear to our hearts for many years. We are thankful for their friendship now and always!

Pastor Hicks asked us to come sing and testify yesterday morning. Bro Wade preached after we sang. We are grateful for the invitation to minister, in our way, to their congregation. They received us with open arms!

After service, we enjoyed a meal and fellowship with Bro. Wade and Sis Sharon. We are thankful for a great morning, and the Lord helped us!

I will close with the pictures I captured and a few from Sis Chrissy. The pics upload is in a crazy order! Some days, I can not get it right. 

Thanks for reading! See you tomorrow.

Sunday Sanity 2/2/25

Hey Friends,

This is Odie reporting in for another Sunday Sanity. My friend, Sis. Lacey Lamb recently reminded me of something Dad said about faith. This statement spoke to her, and she made note of it.

I, too, remember hearing him make this statement in his preaching and thinking it was excellent! Lacey, thank you for bringing this back to my mind!

I do not know if this was an original quote from Dad. He often credited others, but I do not remember this one. For today, Dad gets the credit.

"Faith is not a blind leap in the dark, but a leap into the hand of God. It's a vast difference."

-Davy Boggs Boggs Family Ministries

Pictured below is Dad with Stella, Lacey, and E.J. Lamb. This was taken in July of 2024.

Thanks for visiting. See you next time.

Princess Chloe Jean Celebrates 3

 Hey Friends,

Last Saturday, in my January Birthday post, I mentioned Chloe Jean Shoemaker. The little but mighty miracle turned 3 on the 20th. 

Her birthday party was last Friday. Sadly Ohio and Alabama are too far apart. We could not attend her birthday party. She got her present. That's all that matters, right?! 😀

Chloe’s Mom Deidre and Aunt Selah sent pictures. They are too cute not to share. Even both the big and little brothers make an appearance too. 

 

I miss this beautiful princess! Hopefully, I can figure out a way to see her soon. I need my Chloe Jean hugs!

Thank you for stopping by and reading.

Foodie Friday Ice Cream 1/31/25

 Hey Friends,

This Is Odie. Thanks for stopping by! Today is Foodie Friday. I am going back a few weeks for this picture. Early in January, we went to Tennessee to empty the BoggsMobile.

We were blessed to have both Papaw Eugene Boggs and Papaw Danny Morgan with us! They helped us so much! 

We all dearly love ice cream, so we had to enjoy some together during the trip. Nothing is better than Ice cream with my Papaws! I love these men and am grateful to have them in my life.

See you later!

Throwback Thursday 1/30/25

Hey Friends,

Thank you for stopping by for a quick Throwback Thursday post. The other day, I found this great shot of Dad. Mom or I caught him in action! Bro. Salmon Adelani was the interpreter for this meeting.

The picture was taken on our second trip to Nigeria during a minister's conference in November 2009 in Ibadan. If my memory is correct, the theme of the meeting was the Holy Ghost.

See you tomorrow.

Tribute To Davy from Pastor Matthew Erinola

Hey Friends,

Thanks for stopping by to visit with us. Here is an email that was sent to us last week. Bro. Matthew Erinola granted us permission to share this publicly. 

Pastor Mathew is of our precious friends from Nigeria. He interpreted many sermons for Dad on the trips to Nigeria. 

I will let Pastor Mathew finish this post. See you all later.

“Good day to you sister Kelly and compliment of the season. Once again, I commiserate and express my heartfelt condolence to you on the passing on of your husband very lately.

It's as if he were still with us. I looked forward to hearing him preach and teach, for his messages were clear, simple, sincere, yet very powerful and touching.

Oh how I missed him! Your husband was a rare gift to the Body. But he left the stage too soon. Yet we can't question God. He knows best and I very much believe He’s prepared the best for you and Odie, even before he was taken to glory. Therefore take heart. He'll take care of you both. 

He ( and of course all of you in the Boggs family ministry) have a heart like that of Jesus. Jesus ministry wasn't limited to preaching and teaching, He was healing and feeding multitudes altogether. And that's the pattern you were showing each time you came to Nigeria. 

I personally know how many needy in the church I reached on your behalf last time you came in NOV/DECEMBER 2023. I'm an all time beneficiary of your kind gestures.

The God of all comfort who is also the father of mercies (2Cor 1:3-4) will comfort you on all fronts. God will give you a better, brighter and a bigger tomorrow. You will laugh in a large place and forget all your sorrows in the name of Jesus.

You are still in our hearts. We are praying for you. Blessings.”
Matthew Erinola.

Memory of Davy Boggs By Andrew Blevins

 Hey Friends,

This is Odie checking in for a moment. For this post, I am going to let Bro. Andrew Blevins share a memory of Dad. 

He shared this sweet memory with us a few weeks ago, and it touched us greatly! 

My Dad always had a heart for others! I had to share this sweet memory with you. Thank you to Bro. Andrew, thank you for allowing me to post it.

Dad loved Bro. Andrew and his family immensely and cheered their ministry! endeavors on. Our family is so proud of the Blevins Family. God is using them to help others. 

Recently, the Blevind visited Oklahoma, Bro. Andrew sent me this picture. He tried Dad’s favorite place for a burger, Ron’s Hamburger and Chili.

He did his best Davy Boggs impersonation for this photo. I love it!

Now, below is Andrew’s memory of his friend.

Odie

“ Many years ago when I was a teenager our youth group took a trip to the Pentecostal Fire Youth Conference. I had been going through some of the spiritual ups and downs of youth,and had allowed myself to get cold in the Lord. My heart was hard and full of bitterness.  

The singing and the preaching was great, but unfortunately nothing could move me. I tried to pray and got nowhere. I stood there in the altar service surrounded by a crowd of people and feeling totally alone. I bowed my head and "prayed" just to appease my dad who was standing next to me. But I was just going through the motions. I didn't want to be there and I sure didn't want a bunch of people praying for me.

Suddenly I felt someone come up behind me and wrap their arms around me. I felt the burn of bitterness begin to swell up within me. "Who in the world is this?",Then I heard his voice. It was a voice I had grown up hearing in my home church. 

It was brother Davy. I had no idea he was in the crowd. He was weeping and crying. Pouring out his heart to God for me. I felt my hard heart melt and break. I prayed back through and found God's grace was still sufficient.

As I look back, that weekend was a turning point for me. I don't know if I would have gone on serving the Lord without receiving that touch. It was brother Davys love and compassion for me that moved me.

I was blessed to be raised at Dryden Road Pentecostal Church, and this is just one of the many memories I have of my dear friend brother Davy Boggs.”

Tribute To Davy From GoodNews Christian School.

Hey Friends, 

I am in vacation mode. I tried to plan out the blog this week and schedule each post. So you would not be without a daily post. I did not want Mom to worry about the blog while I was gone. 

All that being said, I have a few tributes or memories of Dad that will be shared for a few days.

The GoodNews Christian School in Nigeria is a ministry that Dad loved! He put his whole heart into supporting their work. He was so happy to know the school was growing continually! 

Boggs Family Ministries is continuing to support the school today. More information will be coming shortly. 

We all know Daddy loved to visit the school when he could. He was always planning his next trip!

 

Pastor Samuel Bamidele, is the principal of the upper grades in the school. He sent us this letter back in November. Below is his letter behalf of the school.

 "Dear Family of our beloved Pastor Davy Boggs,

Our hearts are deeply saddened as we mourn the passing of our beloved Pastor Davy Boggs, who was not only a guiding light to the Goodnews Christian School but also a faithful missionary to Nigeria and a pillar in our church, Christ Ambassadors Holiness Church. Pastor Boggs was a true servant of God, selflessly dedicated to the work of the Kingdom, touching the lives of countless individuals across generations.

His love for people—children, youth, and the elderly alike—was evident in every interaction. Pastor Boggs’ unwavering support of various projects in our churches and schools reflects a legacy of compassion, faith, and evangelism that will continue to inspire us for years to come. Though we grieve his loss, we rejoice that he has entered into the rest of the Lord, whom he served so faithfully.

We extend our deepest condolences to our beloved humble and caring Mummy Kelly and our ever loving Sister Oddy and the entire family. We pray that God's peace, which surpasses all understanding, will comfort and strengthen you during this difficult time. His legacy of love and devotion to Christ will live on in our hearts and through the lives he has touched.

With heartfelt sympathy,  

Pastor S.O Bamidele,

The Principal Goodnews Christian school Saje Abeokuta Ogun State Nigeria.”

Sanity 1/26/25

Hey Friends,

It is time for Sunday Sanity. I, Odie, started my vacation yesterday. I will be getting much needed refreshment for the mind, body and soul on the sea. 

Most of the week, I will not have access to check the blog. The posts should go up as scheduled.

Today's Sanity came from our pastor's Sunday School lesson last week. When he spoke these words, Mom looked at me and said, "Sunday Sanity."

 

"If you are hid in Christ, why do I see so much of you?"

Pastor B.D. Sutherland 

Dryden Road Pentecostal Church Moraine, Ohio

 

Colossians 3:3 provoked this quote. It was just one of the reference verses he used in his lesson. Oh, ouch! My prayer is to be fully hidden in Christ!

See you later!
