1. Let us hope this dear man is OK. Obama was so right tohave him deliver his closing prayer.

Thank god for Rev. Lowery. He responded to our president's call. I hope he will recover and have more years to enjoy.

9. Update from the 11:00am News

Rev. Lowery complained of being dizzy was taken to the hospital as a precaution. Drs. ran a series of tests and he is apparently resting comfortably. He will be released most likely tomorrow.

They interviewed a member of the church who was standing next to him when the incident happened and Rev. Lowery also complained of feeling hungry. I'm going to speculate that it was a combination of low blood sugar and a lower pulse rate.

The reporter said that the family has thanked everyone for their prayers and phone calls.
