Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

Happy Saturday to you. Just a couple of rules. Yes, those pesky things.

1) Opine and/or bloviate away in this open thread.
2) No running with sharp objects.
3) Be nice to one another.
4) Have a Nice Weekend, if you so choose. Far be it from me to tell you what kind of weekend to have.

AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List

Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update.

Prayer Requests:

5/28 – FortWorthMike requests prayers for his grandniece, Chloe, and her family, to find a kidney to transplant. Chloe is a toddler who has been on this prayer list before, and it has helped her. She was born with bad kidneys and had them removed soon after birth. She’s had multiple health issues, and is now getting daily dialysis at home. Her mother’s kidneys aren’t a match, and her father’s are a match, but are too large for her little body. Thanks for your prayers!

5/28 – Ladyl requests prayers for a very special person in her life who has been diagnosed with a fairly treatable leukemia. Although Mike is over 29, he is nonetheless a young man. She would appreciate prayers for complete healing and optimal management of his disease.

5/29 – MammaB is off work for several weeks per her doctor’s instructions for mental health. She is supposed to go back on Tuesday and is an apprehensive wreck. Between her dad’s death in January, having Chinese covid twice since then, and her bipolar, she feels overwhelmed. But she is the sole wage early (PapaB is on disability for early onset dementia) and unemployment isn’t an option. Any prayers would be appreciated.

5/31 – Prayers are needed for Fenelon Spoke, who had surgery this week for cancer. She is recovering at home.
6/8 Update – The good news is that they seem to have caught all her cancer. It was stage one, so she is thanking God and is grateful for all the prayers of the horde.

6/1 – Prayers are requested for a 3-year-old named Eli, who just had 2 brain surgeries for a rare vascular condition. Please pray for Eli’s recovery.
6/4 Update – Eli has woken up after surgery and is starting to show hopeful signs. The family is grateful for the prayers and asks them to continue.
6/11 Update – Eli is sitting up and eating real food. They are optimistic for his full recovery.

6/7 – Teresa in Fort Worth asks for prayers for Natasha and her family. Teresa was at the airport, waiting for a flight, when Natasha received a phone call that her son had just died. Natasha was on her way to visit her hospitalized son, and he died of Sickle Cell before she could get there. Natasha was extremely upset, so Teresa in Fort Worth stayed with her until Natasha’s husband could get there. Please pray for the son’s family, too, as he and his wife have a 1 year old daughter, Gigi.

6/9 – Robert requests that everyone pray that he develops common sense – maybe sometime before he hits 50?

6/10 – Notsothoreau asks for prayers for whig, who is getting monoclonal antibody treatment to try to restart whig’s immune system.

6/13 – USNtaim asks for prayers for his brother, who burned his feet (3rd degree burns). He has no feeling in his feet, so didn’t know he was burning them on hot concrete, or how bad the burns were. He was sent to ER, and put on IV antibiotics to treat the infection creeping up his legs. On top of this, he’s in the middle of a divorce.
6/14 Update – He is headed home, since the antibiotics are working and his feet will heal.

6/16 – Dave in Fla asks for prayers for Mark, who just passed away. It appears he died from heart failure. He was a lurker here and a commentor at Stoaty’s site. He was gay, a passionate conservative, and a heck of a nice guy. He was from WI and lived in London.

6/16 - Lurker James ask for prayers his depression medication has been changed to a different kind.

Romans 8:26-27
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
