Jeff Camp, Miss Kittie’s second son, is presently in surgery in Birmingham.  Please pray for him as he goes through this surgery and pray for his mother as she anxiously awaits to hear from her daughter-in-law. 

Also, the funeral service for Miss Myrtle Baugh is set for this morning at 10:00AM at Serenity Funeral Home.  Pray for the Baugh family. 

Britan Gillespie is scheduled for a surgery that is expected to last for six hours today.  It is set to begin at 8:00AM.  As the Lord reminds you today, pray for Britan as she is in surgery and for her family as the play the waiting game! 

I did a poor job of posting yesterday morning as I left out some important information.  Some I just forgot and some I didn’t know about until later in the day.  First, Amy Huhn’s mother, Gloria Morrison, had surgery yesterday morning in her battle against cancer.  The doctors felt good about the outcome of the surgery and Ms Morrison remains in the hospital.  I knew she was having surgery and just forgot it!  My apologies to Amy & her mother! 

Rachel Jackson’s father, Mr. Hill, also had surgery yesterday.  I don’t have an update but am assuming that no news is good news!  I learned yesterday that Myrtle Baugh passed away and the funeral service is today but I don’t have the details.  I learned last night that Ms Betty Hill passed away.  She recently had heart surgery and just never overcame that procedure.  She is the wife of Mr Tom Hill who is Jodie Crawley’s grandfather.  Pray for these families!

We are still looking for folks from the Friendship family to join “Lottie’s Legion @ Friendship” which is our means of funding the 2009 LMCO.  We will be receiving a special offering this Sunday, 1/25, for the 2009 LMCO so pray and then give as the Lord leads. 

According to their blog, the Moline CRC team is having a good week of ministry in Guatemala.  They are scheduled to come home tomorrow and the Friendship CRC team is scheduled to arrive in Guatemala on Friday, 1/23.  Pray for these teams!   

T. Garrett, no particular book or anything but just online reading about the first 100 days of the new adminnistration.  Our new President and I view the matter of abortion differently and he is receiving a lot of “advice” to change some of the measures taken by the previous administration.  However, I prayed for President Obama yesterday and will do likewise today. 

Wow, my ex-girlfriend that I mentioned in the blog called me yesterday afternoon.  Amazingly, she too is a blog reader.  Pastor Travis Northcutt came clean yesterday as to his readership and so did Donald & Pat Butler who are faithful members of the Forts Lake Assembly of God Church.  I think we are at double digits.  We may have to go to “double” blogs just to accomodate everyone!  I may start a “blog” church! 

Pancho Arriola left yesterday going back to Guatemala so Rita & the girls are now residents of Grand Bay by themselves.  Pray for them as they make this adjustment.  Pancho will be back and forth in the months ahead.  I figure Kyle Bryant will keep Rita’s grass cut and Betty Creech will cook supper for them most nights – what a neighbors for? 

It is going to be a busy Wednesday with the surgery, morning service, and evening activities.  I encourage the members of the Friendship family to join us for our services, Bible studies, et cetera.

I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.
