Sunday Sanity 2/9/25

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for stopping by for a moment on Sunday. Today’s sanity comes straight from the word of God. There is no better place to look for a word of encouragement.

A friend sent me this verse a while back. It encourage my heart that day, and I have looked back on it several times since. It is a comfort to know that we can find refuge and confidence In the Lord!

May God bless you and give you strength!

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for stopping by for a visit today! I appreciate you taking a moment to spend with us here. I am here asking my dear friends for prayer once again.

This time, I am requesting prayer for my dear Uncle Steve Boggs. He gave me permission to share this prayer request with you. He appreciates all the prayers he can get! We desire the Lord to heal him completely! Please join our family in praying for him!

Right now Uncle Steve is in the hospital suffering badly from Cellulitis! He has been on strong antibiotics since Thursday afternoon! We are praying that he makes a full and speedy recovery! 

Uncle Steve seems to be in great spirits! Thankfully, he is receiving great care! we know the Great Physician is able to step in to heal him completely!

I know our readers know how to pray.  You all have helped us pray through many hard times! On behalf of Uncle Steve and Aunt Karen and all of our family, I say thank you for the prayers!

Foodie Friday 2/7/25

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for joining me for Foodie Friday. This week, we visited one of our favorite places a couple of times. Can you guess where?

Ding ding ding, you got it right! Alcapulco is the correct answer.  

We love their salsa, food and our friends that work there! Remembering Dad’s love for Alcapulco when we go there feels good!

On Tuesday, we had lunch with our cousins Teresa and Trinity. We had been trying to get together for a while, and thankfully, it worked out this time. We had a great lunch and visit with them!

Thursday we were out running an errand with Mamaw and Papaw. Somehow our car sensed we were hungry, and the navigation took us to Alcapulco. 

Sorry not sorry for your sudden craving of good mexican food! 🤣 The food tasted even better than it looked!

Thanks for reading see you next time.

A Peaceful View

 Hey Friends,

Great to visit with you for a second. Mom has been running her legs off, and I have been rolling my wheels off the last few days. 

We are doing good just been trying to get stuff done. There is always something to be accomplished. We have taken advantage of better weather this week to be out and about. 

I have not had the time or brainpower to edit and choose vacation pics to share. That will come, I promise! 

I will leave you with one photo for today. This is a view that brings me peace!

See you tomorrow.

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 were 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!

Odie
