Good day in our services yesterday.  The children’s choir did a nice job of sharing their musical with us in last night’s service.  I appreciate those who attended that service even though they had no children or grandchildren participating.  That is encouraging.

Peggy & Judy Benefield’s Uncle Bob is not doing well.  Herbert & Peggy and Bubba & Judy missed the services yesterday in order to be in Jackson with him.

Heard from Paul Leytham yesterday afternoon regarding Cristy.  She remains hospitalized but may be discharged today.  They began giving her Ensure through the feeding tube yesterday morning.  Paul says her spirit is excellent and that she looks better.  Her doctor son has told her to get up and walk regularly.

I will be checking on Bea, Art & Lewis first thing this morning and then hope to visit the convalescent home folks.

My dad will be having a port inserted on Wednesday in order to receive his chemotherapy treatments.  If everything goes as planned, I will be there to take him to that appointment.

Alisha Vice gets married this Saturday, 5/24, at 10:30AM in Hattiesburg, MS.  10:30AM?  Correct.  Hattiesburg?  I know!  At any rate, all members of the Friendship family are invited to attend.

We will be having a “foyer shower” for Rusty & Caryn on Sunday, June 8.  This will be a “gift card” shower and, if you so choose,  you will simply leave a gift card for them in the foyer of the auditorium as you enter/exit the services that day.  Are they married yet?  No.  Will they be married by 6/8?  No.  Are they going to get married?  Probably.

I have watched a little of the NBA playoffs.  I did not watch yesterday but was glad to hear the Heat got beat.  I figure the Heat will win it all but maybe not.  The Lakers were robbed this season!

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