An American Missionary Shot and Killed in Mexico

According to several news stories an American Missionary was shot and killed in Mexico yesterday. Nancy Davis was shot as her husband Sam was trying to drive them away from hostile situation about 70 miles south of the border. It is tragic and this family needs God to help them. I do not know these folks but they seem like very dedicated people. Please pray for this family.


It should also remind us to pray for the Landress family and many other missionaries we know that are risking their lives to work in Mexico and other places. I may update this post later with more information as it becomes available.

More Than One Way to Skin a Cat!


There is more than one way to skin a cat!  Of course it's not politically correct to talk about skinning cats these days but you know what I mean.  There is the normal, proper, correct way to do things and then there  is the way you do it when it just has to be done.  You don't have the right tool to do the job correctly or even the knowledge to do it right but the task at hand must be completed so you do it.  That's where duct tape, paper clips, wire tires and gorilla glue really shine!

The picture below is an extreme case of thinking outside the box and finding another way to skin the proverbial cat.  The box must go into the trunk.  The trunk is way to small and the box is way to big.  So up with the lid, in with the box and fasten the trunk with a bungee strap or a piece of rope, right? Oops, you can't find the bungee strap that you keep in the trunk for just this purpose and there is no rope to be found.  You look around the car, on top of the car, in the car and under the car to no avail....Until you spot the car charger for your phone!  The car charger for your Phone?

Yep!  Look closely....that's exactly what they used....




By the way, that's not my box, car or phone charger!  I happened to see this in a parking lot and couldn't stop laughing.  I thought you all might get a kick out of it too!

Tribute Quartet Bus Fire

Update: Added a second picture Odie found.


The Tribute Quartet had a blow out on a back tire that started a fire that completely destroyed the bus. Here's the link to the story.

I suppose since we live on a bus we pay special attention to stories like this. We can just imagine the devastation. Please pray for these guys and pray for our safety as well. So many things can go wrong but God is our help and strength.

Weir, Kansas

It is hard to believe but we are back for our ninth year in a row at Faith Tabernacle Church in Weir, Kansas. When we left pastoring in Wichita in January 2003, Weir was our very first stop for revival. Pastor James Fellers and his congregation received us with open arms that year and have been welcoming us back every year. We love these folks and we love coming back each year for revival.

We had great services yesterday and we are believing God for great things the rest of the week. We usually get hit pretty hard with snow while we are here but we are good so far. It is cold but we may escape without much snow. Keep praying for us.

I have posted a few pictures below that Kelly Jo snapped with my phone after church last night at the restaurant.

Smokin Odie's BBQ


Did you know Odie had opened her own BBQ joint? Neither did we but the church folks in Miami told us about this place so we knew we had to try it. Kelly Jo and I were out and about yesterday in Miami so we decided to stop in Smokin Odie's BBQ and eat.


One of the specials of the day was a rib meat sandwich and one side for $2.99. We both ordered it and it was delicious. We could have eaten for $6 if it weren't for Kelly Jo's soda and .... my second sandwich! Wow! Smokin Odie's BBQ is really Smokin.

If you live near Miami, Oklahoma or you are passing through on I-44 you need to check it out. (Sign says they are closed on TUESDAY) Tell them Odie Boggs sent you. They won't know what you are talking about and you won't get a discount but if enough people tell them it will be funny when we actually take Odie in. Lol

The building itself is nothing spectacular but the food sure was good. We definitely intend to go back give Mr Ottis Bailey (Odie) our business. With a name like Odie and food that delicious he deserves it.

We traveled to Weir, KS today and start revival tomorrow. God bless you all.
