Thursday In Pics

 Hey Friends,

There's not much time for words. We have been preparing for two of our Christmas concerts this weekend. The first one is tonight at Dryden Road at 7PM. 

It is an honor to have Bro. Philip, Sis. Deidra and Colton Deane with us. We are excited to be singing with Colton! Bro. Philip preached very well at Dryden Road Pentecostal Church last night. 

Here are pictures from Thursday. It was a full day. Now it is Friday and time for a nap before our day begins again. 

We appreciate your prayers this weekend. See you later.

Practice Practice Practice

 Hey Friends,

Here is a picture from practice at DRPC last night. I know I told you about our mini Christmas tour earlier this week. Read that post by clicking HERE.

BFM is in full out panic and prep mode. The band is sounding awesome. I just hope we can remember everything. I might be singing Christmas songs in my sleep. 

Please keep us in your prayers. Pray for our minds to work properly and our bodies to be well without voice problems.

It is already Thursday as I write this post. I am going to try to get a little rest. 

See you tomorrow.

DRPC Children’s Christmas 2025

 Hey Friends,

First, I want to say thank you for the prayers for our family. Yesterday was not an easy day to say see you later to our Aunt Carol. God helped the family. 

Please keep the family in your prayers as they navigate this difficult season. Many of you took the time to message and check on us yesterday. Your thoughtfulness and prayers are greatly appreciated!

We rushed back from Kentucky yesterday afternoon. We needed to be at church at Dryden Road Pentecostal Church last night. 

It was time for the Children's Church Christmas program. 

This year, the leaders did not do a full kids' play. They had kids say parts and sing some songs. It was so cute.

 I was extremely proud of all of the kids. There were even a few who do not usually like to sing with the junior choir, but they sang the entire program.    

 

Here are a few pictures and a video. I hope you enjoy. 

See you all tomorrow.

4 City Christmas Tour

 Hey Friends,

I guess we ended up with a mini Christmas tour this year. 1 date grew to 2, then 3, and now we are ending it with number 4 shortly before Christmas. We are celebrating the Joy of Christmas through song. 

We could have added more dates. I know we had some requests for other services. Due to my recent surgery, I only felt comfortable staying closer to home for this tour. 

The final countdown is on. It is an exciting time, but nerve-racking as well. We are working hard to prepare. It is coming down to the wire. 

We have 2 Christmas services this weekend. Both Friday and Saturday nights, we will also be joined by Bro. Colton Deane of Cantonment, Florida. We are so excited to sing with Colton. He is exceptionally talented!

A huge blessing for us this tour; since we are close to home, our band from DRPC has agreed to do most of these services with us. Mom and I are thrilled. That helps us tremendously. These 3 gentleman are like family to us, and we work together so often. It is extremely fun to make music with them!

Please keep us in your prayers. Stay tuned. I will recap each tour stop in a blog post. 

Thank you for reading. Hope we can see you soon.

Throwback Thursday 11/20/25

 Hey Friend,

Odie here, writing from a hospital bed. Thank you, Mom, for posting yesterday. I was not able to write anything!

Surgery was successful on Tuesday evening. Tuesday night was an uncomfortable night. My pain was unbearable, at times. I was searching endlessly for a spot where I could be pain free. My search was unsuccessful. Mom stayed right by me trying to to help me get relief. 

Wednesday was much more manageable. The pain was still there, but meds are helping! I am supposed to be released from the hospital today. 

Thank for your prayers, friendship and support! It is all very much appreciated!

 

Throwback Thursday 

One year ago tomorrow was Dad’s Celebration of Life service! It truly was amazing service. Mom and I laughed, smiled and worshipped God more than we cried! It was a great way to honor a life well lived. 

Here is the service on YouTube. 

It has had over 8,200  views. I can hear Dad saying, I had to die to get that many views. 🤣 I am so thankful we have the service archived!

Thank for joining us today. See you tomorrow.

Weekend Wrap Up 11/17/25

Hey Friends,

Thanks for stopping by for this Weekend Wrap Up. 

Today, I have several pics. We had a revival at DRPC. You will see several food pics too. 

Friday, we spent time with our Morgan Family in Hillsboro. 

Saturday was some more family time. 

We were able to attend a Jason Crabb and Isaacs concert Saturday night. Here is some pictures. I plan to do a full post later.

Sunday, was devoted to church at DRPC. It is always a blessing to hear our Pastor preach, and worship with our church family! It was also great to have the Bostwick family visiting us from Virginia.

That wraps up our weekend! Thank you for reading today. 

Tomorrow is surgery day for me. Thank you for your prayers! I will do my best to keep the blog going this week. I am going to try to schedule a few post ahead of time.
