DRPC Kids Choir- Graveyard

 Hey Friends,

Today I have a small video clip. DRPC Kids sang the song titled Graveyard for Easter Sunday. 

Sis. Emily Roberts had told me she was going to teach them this song. I was so excited to hear them sing it. 

I was so proud of them. The kids love to sing! They did a great job reminding us Jesus is alive!

I do not own this song. Anthem Edition recorded and released this song. Mark Mathes and Kenna Turner West are the songwriters. 

I will leave you with my video clip. Thank you for reading.

Easter 2026 Pics

 Hey Friends,

We were blessed with a terrific Resurrection Sunday. Both church services at DRPC were excellent. 

Sunday afternoon, we went to Hillsboro, Ohio. We had dinner with the Morgan crew. It was great to spend time as a family on the holiday. 

Our day was long but wonderful. Below are my pictures from our Easter this year.

Sunday Sanity Easter 2026

 Hey Friends,

Happy Resurrection Sunday! It is still a weekend of remembrance. We have reflected on the crucifixion and the day in-between. 

Now we are on Sunday, the rest of the story day. He has risen! Friends, our Savior arose from the grave on the third day! 

Hallelujah, satan and the tomb could not hold Him! Because He is alive, we have hope forevermore!

My Dad posted this poem every Easter. He Wouldn't Stay Dead was his favorite poem! Mom and I were talking last night. It would not be Easter if we didn't share this poem today.

Please take a moment and watch the video below. He first posted this video in 2022. I am so grateful that we have this recorded. He always shared this poem on Easter!

I hope you have a wonderful Easter holiday!

He Wouldn’t Stay Dead

He Wouldn’t Stay Dead

by: Willard G. Thomas

They laid His body in Joseph’s new tomb

And filled His disciples with sorrow and gloom

They did not remember what He had said

That He would die, but He wouldn’t stay dead

Mary came at the break of day

And found the stone was rolled away

She saw an angel and in terror fled

And told His disciples that He didn’t stay dead

In that cold dark tomb, He would not stay

He conquered death and walked away

And now that old grave has lost its fear and dread

He lives again! He wouldn’t stay dead

Full atonement and pardon were made

And forever the sin debt was marked fully paid

The price was His blood as it flowed crimson red

And I’m thankful today that He didn’t stay dead!

Let’s go to our churches and cry aloud

Let’s go to the marketplace and talk to the crowd

Let’s go to the mission fields that lie up ahead

And tell the whole world that He didn’t stay dead!

Because if Jesus Christ had only died

Then the gulf between us and God would still be wide

But thank God He did what He said

He got up out of the ground, He couldn’t stay dead!

The In-between

 Hey Friends,

I am still in reflection mode. This weekend in History is one we reverence and highly esteem. Yesterday was Good Friday. Click HERE to read my thoughts. 

Saturday was the in-between time. Can you imagine the grief and heartbreak of those who love Jesus? He had told them the cross was not the end. But in the midst of the current situation, it would have been difficult to see the big picture. 

Everyone has their own way of grieving. There was fear and uncertainty. What is next?

Last night I read this passage in Luke’s account. This was between the crucifixion and the resurrection.

Luke 23:50-56. 

Here is a depiction of a tomb. Imagine the finality of placing Jesus in a grave such as this one. 

 Stay tuned for what happened on Sunday. The story of Jesus is not over!

Christmas Eve Milkshake 2025

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for stopping by. I am here to tell you about a very special milkshake. 

Dad and I shared a kindred love for eggnog. Since I was a tiny girl, he would stop on Christmas Eve to get some for us to enjoy together on Christmas morning.

Along the way, it turned into a Christmas Eve stop at UDF for an eggnog milkshake. Dad continued this traditioneven when he would not drink a milkshake himself.

This was a special treat I looked forward to every year. It did not matter the weather; he would stop just for me. This special milkshake was a way Daddy expressed his love for me. 

Last year, I decided to go get a milkshake in honor of my Daddy and remember the good times. I invited the family to join us, too. 

My Papaw and Uncle Danny were there, encouraging me. It was really sweet! In 2024, a new tradition was born. Last year, 9 of us went to get milkshakes. Then we went to my Uncle’s church to fellowship and reminisce over our shakes. 

2025 came, and my family was ready to go to UDF for shakes to wrap up our Christmas Eve festivities. This year, I think there were 12 of us  

I was a happy camper to get my eggnog milkshake. It was a sweet way to honor my precious Daddy. 

Thank you, Uncle Danny, for keeping this this special tradition alive with me. I love you!

See you next time.

A Very Boggs Christmas 2025 Pics

 Hey Friends,

Yesterday was Christmas Day. Which means it is time for the Boggs to gather for our annual Christmas party. 

A few of the family were down with sickness, Mom included. We greatly missed allof the the family members not present, but had a fabulous evening with family. 

We cherish every moment of family time 

Baby Beckham was with us for his first Christmas. He was the guest of honor. We were so thankful to have him and his parents there. 

Now I will close with pictures from last night. I hope you enjoy.
