Tanner Williams Holiness Church 2012

Four out of the last five years we have spent the weekend before Allentown Campmeeting at Tanner Williams Holiness Church. We are glad they keep having us back because we love being with them. Pastor Williamson and his wife and church have proven themselves to be our friends and we treasure them so much.

We had two great services Sunday and we look forward to being in campmeeting with them this week at Allentown. We appreciate Bro.Williamson loaning us his van so we could have wheels this week after we sold the Denali. They loaned us their van and their second car stranded them Saturday so it turned into a comedy of errors. Thank God it all turned out well in the end.

Here are some pictures of the weekend. Most of the posts this week will probably be pictures from the Allentown Campmeeting.

Goodbye General!

No church on Friday or Saturday but we have been busy any way. I mentioned in the last blog post that I had a man interested in buying the General. I advertised it in Mississippi and Alabama last week and this was the first guy to contact me. He told me he was really interested in seeing it so we set up an appointment for him to look at it Thursday evening.

I met him and his friend in Mobile and he bought it on the spot without one bit of haggling over price. I have owned 26 cars, trucks, vans and RVs in my life and this is the very first one that I sold for more than I paid for it! I guess I am not much of a horse trader! I believe the Lord had a lot to do with this one.





We took the General to his new owner in Foley, Alabama on Friday. We finalized the deal and in a few minutes we were on our way. Good bye, General. Thanks for your service to the Boggs family, may you have a long and useful life in Foley, Alabama.

While in Foley we decided that we might as well stop at Lambert's Cafe, the home of the throwed roll. The meal was great as always and the waitstaff was entertaining as well. We always enjoy Lambert's.











On the way to the BoggsMobile at we stopped in Mobile for a few hours to visit with family....


The Isaacs were in town as part of a Gaither Homecoming event and we had a great time. It is always good to see them and to hear them sing. Wow! They are good!

Kelly Jo visited again with one of the greatest piano players of our time, Gordon Mote. Gordon is a genuinely nice guy and it was good to see him and to hear him play and sing again.



Today I helped some folks park their RVs here at Allentown, washed the bugs off the front of the BoggsMobile and rested some this afternoon. This evening we met Bro. George and Sis. Arlene Brimm and Bro. Joe and Sis. Becky Dikeman and their kids at the Boiling Pot. I know that we were here two nights ago but in our opinion it is good enough for a quick return visit. It was wonderful.









Tomorrow we are supposed to spend the day at Tanner Williams Holiness Church with our friends, Pastor Donnie Williamson and his great folks. We are looking forward to being there for both services. I am sure we will have some pictures to show for all the fun.

God bless you all!

Whirlwind Travel Day

Yesterday was a whirlwind travel day! We left White Plains early and headed to Ellisville, Mississippi. Kelly Jo and Odie drove ahead in the General and went to the laundromat in Ellisville. I made it later and hooked up to our tent trailer that we had left there. Then I drove to Citronelle, Alabama just as fast as my little legs would carry me.

I left the trailer at Cedar Creek Church and went with Pastor Darius Templeton to see the place where the tent is supposed to go up in just over two weeks. I left Citronelle and rushed to Allentown. Kelly Jo arrived moments after me and we parked the bus, treated for fire ants and jumped in the General with Odie.

We had an appointment a 5:00 in Mobile to show the General to a potential buyer. We washed off the heavy layer of pollen and arrived just in time. It was rush, rush, rush all day long...

However, it all came to a pleasant conclusion when we met Bro. Scott, Sis. Kim, Regan and Rylee Morris at The Boiling Pot for great food and even better fellowship. Can't get much better than terrific seafood and wonderful friends.

Then it was a quick stop at WalMart for groceries and finally back to the bus! Today "may" be a little slower...

Revival In Pictures White Plains Holiness Assembly 2012

We had another great visit with the folks at White Plains Holiness Assembly. We had revival Sunday morning through Wednesday night and we enjoyed every minute of it. We love the services and the church folks and love to park out here in the country. The weather has been beautiful too so it's been an almost perfect week. We appreciate all the kindness and hospitality.

We are very busy today with a lot of activity so I will have to leave the rest of the story to pictures.

We start with another great buffet.






It was so beautiful that Kelly Jo and I gave the BoggsMobile a much needed bath one day.
