Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

Good morning and welcome to the Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival. I don't recall my parents ever using one of these at our home. I remember an electric percolator.

We have several of these in various sizes, 3 cup, 9 cup & 12 cup at our off grid cabin. Nothing like camp coffee. What do you folks use or do you have any trips down Memory Lane?

Coffee science. And here I thought it just tasted fine.

Why Does Coffee Make You Poop?

I know this isn't the most comfortable topic to share, but we're all adults right? If drinking coffee makes you go #2, you're not alone. Continue reading to learn why.
Scientists are still trying to find out why this happens in certain individuals. Coffee has over 1,000 different compounds, making it hard to understand the exact nature of this experience.

However, we think it may be related to three main reasons.

Just a couple of rules this morning...........

1. Feel free to opine and/or bloviate.
2. Don't be a Goofus be a Gallant.
3. Be nice to the 'ettes and to everyone else.
4. Have a nice weekend or not. That is up to you.

6/20 – Nurse Ratched asks for prayers for her oldest son, who has Covid. He’s not as bad as he was initially, but is still pretty sick.

6/23 – Ann Wilson, aka Empire, asked for prayers that all would go smoothly, as one of her sisters (T) has decided it’s time for her to go into assisted living due to her rapidly declining health. Ann and her other sister (R) are considerably relieved, as they have been trying to convince T of this for quite some time.

6/24 – San Franpsycho asks for prayers for poor Mrs. F. who has been coughing and emetic for the last 36 hours, and for Boy F. who, lacking the ability to understand the situation, is distraught with worry.

7/2 – That Guy What Always Says Yeah Buddy asks for prayers for his wife’s health and the strength and fortitude for me to continue to be able to care for her.

7/2 – My Life Is Insanity could use prayers. Her mom passed away on 7/2. My Life Is Insanity had to spend this weekend at her own house, so she couldn’t be with her mom when she passed. Her son was with there, so mom/grandma wasn’t alone, but it’s killing My Life Is Insanity that she wasn’t with her when she died. She would appreciate prayers for her mom’s soul.

7/8 – TecumsehTea asks for prayers for her dearest friend, who came down with Covid and is very ill. She is almost 70 and severely immunocompromised. She did not vax and has made it thus far, but she traveled recently. She is taking ivermectin. The Lord holds her in His hand, and He’s in charge, but it doesn’t hurt to ask Him for healing.

7/9 – Prayers are needed for Lilibeth, who has had 2 recent surgeries for bladder cancer, but has not been able to start immunotherapy treatments due to a shortage of necessary drugs.

7/9 – Bear with asymmetrical balls asks for prayers. His bloodwork is showing reduced kidney function, and he’s feeling less than well. He is slowly working the problem with the doctor.

7/12 – My Pimp Shot My Dealer asked for prayers for T and her family. T is a 19 year old who hung herself, but it was not a clean kill, and she is in the ICU with the gravest of anoxic brain injuries. They are trying a salvage resuscitation to see if she will be eligible for organ donation. She was a very sweet young lady, another victim of pedo rape at a very young age, and lived the rest of her short life broken.

7/15 – Chi-Town Jerry requests prayers for his wife, who is in the hospital again with AFIB. Although she got back to regular rhythm in the ER, her kidney numbers concerned them and they are keeping her overnight on IV. Prayers are appreciated.

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.
