Sunday Sanity 1/19/25

Hey Friends,

I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday! We have returned to the deep freeze here in Ohio. According to the weather guessers, as my Dad called them, we will be there for several days. I will still rejoice and be glad because this is the day the Lord made.

Pastor E.J. Lamb provides with today's sanity. Mom and I attended service with our friends at the Anchor on Wednesday night. 

We sure do love Pastor E.J., Sis. Lacey, their children, and the Anchor of Hope church family! All of them have been special friends to us for a long time!

On Wednesday night, he preached on “ Faith Beyond Feelings.” The entire message was encouraging, but this little nugget stood out.

“Faith is not a walk in what I see and feel, but faith is walking in what I know”. Pastor E.J. Lamb

One thing I know God will always be with us, even when we can not see or  feel Him!

See you tomorrow.

Snowy View And Sunday Sanity 1/12/2025

Hey Friends,

Happy Sunday! I hope you have a fantastic Lord's Day. We have had a snowy week. 

We did not leave the house for several days. By Wednesday, we were able to get out a few times, but then more snow came! I think, we can get out for church today!

Here was the view out our front door on Monday afternoon. This was probably 8-10 inches of snow.

This was our view Friday evening and yesterday after more snow came.

 

We probably added 2 more inches Friday night.

Uncle Jay came once again and shoveled everything for us. We appreciate his help, so very much!

I will close with today's Sunday Sanity. I recently heard it and instantly knew it would appear here!

"The will of God is not a destination. It is a journey."

Sunday Sanity 1/5/2025

Hey Friends,

Welcome to the first Sunday Sanity of 2025. Thank you for joining us on this winter Sunday! 

I hope it is nice and toasty where you are located. The weatherman says ice and snow will be at the beach cottage in Waynesville, OH.

Today’s sanity comes from Pastor Brent Gabbard. Recently, he spoke about the middleman in the story of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. 

Bro. Brent's take on the messenger, who brought the word to Jesus that Lazarus was sick, was something I had never thought about! The messenger was a significant Character in Lazarus’ story! 

Can you imagine? His faith must have been soaring after he talked to Jesus. Then he gets home to the news that Lazarus has passed away. The Master is too late, or so it seems. Now, the messenger must've felt defeat. Oh, if he only knew the story was not over yet!

We know the end of the story for Lazarus! We read of the celebration that happened when the Master raised him from the dead!

we believe it, because it's the Bible. 

In our lives we do not know the end of the story. It is impossible for us to see how our situation is going to turn out. Friend, let me remind you. It is not too late! The Master is on the way! I want to be the middleman that helps get the Master’s attention!

I will leave you today with a quote from Pastor Brent Gabbard. his words encouraged me, and I hope they do the same for you!

A message to intercessors…. 

“Hang onto your promise, even when it doesn’t make sense and circumstances seem to contradict it.”

Pastor Brent Gabbard

Have a great day. See you next time.

 Hey Friends,

Well, we have reached the end of 2024. Let's have one more Sunday Sanity.

Bro. Andrew Blevins is preaching Christmas revival at Dryden Road Pentecostal Church this week. His preaching has spoke to my soul!

Friday he preached on “Praying Like A Prophet. “Here is one of the statements Bro. Andrew made that night that stuck out to me, and I thought it would make a great Sunday Sanity. 

“You may not be wise like a prophet, bold as a prophet but you can get ahold of God like a prophet!”

Andrew Blevins

Thanks for stopping by. See you tomorrow!

 Hey Friends,

A pastor friend texted me last week. He was checking on me and Mom. He also let us know that his church and family were praying for us.  He sent me some words of encouragement that profoundly spoke to my heart.

I do not know if they are original to him, but I am giving him credit. God used Bro. Devin Birdsong to deliver these words of comfort just when I needed them.

Sunday Sanity 12/8

Hey Friends,

Four weeks ago today, my Dad finished his earthly fight. He was a faithful soldier in God’s army. Daddy was committed to his God, family, calling and friends until the end.

Today’s Sanity comes from Jeff Rowe. This is a snippet of a text he sent me four weeks ago. It spoke directly to my heart when it was freshly shattered!

God has brought many special people into our lives over the years. Now, we can not imagine life without them. One such person is Jeff Rowe, owner of East Tennessee Luxury Coach in Vonore, Tennessee. 

Jeff became the official BoggsMobile mechanic. He kept us rolling and took Dad’s calls whenever we needed help on the road. He also helped tremendously with his bus-induced psychosis!

He is not just our go to bus guy, but he became a friend to our family! Often, he took up for me with Dad! This was the last picture Dad took of me and Jeff on July 22nd. 

I have found Jeff is eloquent with his words. I always feel honored when he takes a moment out his busy schedule to send me a text. Often it was exactly what I need in that moment.

Jeff has served our country! Once a Marine, always a Marine. We thank you for your service!

 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!

Hey Friends,

The local funeral home in Waynesville, Ohio is incredible. We have always known Stubbs and Conner was the best, but we witnessed it first hand. Their care of the family and every detail is extraordinary! Thanks to Brad Conner and the entire team at Stubbs and Conner. 

The banner pictured below is just one of the small touches that added a big impact. 

In Davy's words, 

"We are humbled by what Christ has done in our lives and unashamed to travel the roads singing and preaching that Christ will do the same for all that go to God the Father through Him.”

Someone may disagree with you.

Someone may vote differently than you. 

Someone may have completely divergent values and worldview than you. 

But they are not the enemy we are fighting against. 

We wrestle not against flesh and blood.

Since we have not been traveling regularly in the BoggsMobile, I have gotten out of the habit of taking a view out the window so I missed a couple pictures on the way down.

Things I need to know and be assured of when my mind is on fire. 

God is for you and not against you!

God is your friend and not your enemy!

God is with you and not a far off!

You are covered by his blood and not unprotected!

You are filled with His Spirit and not an empty vessel!

The Comforter has come and He will abide with you forever!

The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father sent in the name of Christ shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever Christ has said unto you. DB

I hope you have a super great Sunday.
