Sitting in the hospital waiting room and just heard from Ted’s surgeon.  The surgery went well.  They did four by-passes and the doctor seems satisfied with the outcome.  Ted remains on the vent and will be in ICU tonight and maybe tomorrow night too.

Merwyn Gunter is in CCU in the same hospital.  Obviously, he needs our prayers as well.

It is approaching 9:30AM as I type this entry so it is way late.  I apologize.  I simply decided to be a bit later with today’s entry.  No rhyme or reason.

Ted Ezell is having a heart cath today.  Merwyn Gunter has been in a local ER since 9:00PM last night and as of 8:30AM had still not seen a doctor.  Dee Dee Douglas’ mother is in a local hospital too.  She has had a couple of falls in recent days.  Pray for these folks.

The visitation with the family of John & Arlene’s friend, Sheila Taylor, will take place tomorrow night at Heritage Funeral Home in Escatawpa, MS from 6:00 – 9:00PM.  The service will take place Wednesday at 10:00AM.  Pray for the Taylor family.

Junior Bosarge gave me the number in attendance for last night’s service but I do not remember what it was.  However, I do know that we had a good attendance.  Thank you for being faithful!

Now is the time to sign up for our November GRACE trip.  The dates are Monday, 11/14, – Monday, 11/21/11.  We are asking members of the Friendship family to sign up by the end of February.  After that date, we will open the trip to folks outside the Friendship family and I can already tell you it will be a completely full trip.

Speaking of GRACE trips, Bro. Jerry has a few openings on his July trip.  Contact him for more information.

I could be wrong but I believe Pastor Jack Bailey is in that number of folks encouraging Gov. Bob Riley to run for President in 2012.  Wow!

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