Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

Of course coffee is good for you. Duh!

Drinking two to three cups of coffee a day could be linked to a longer lifespan, new research suggests.

When compared with avoiding coffee, it was also associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, the study found.

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:
8/15 – Cosda asks for prayers for her sister, whose regularly scheduled colonoscopy revealed a problem. The sister will be having her ascending colon removed next week. It seems to be early in the cancer stage and contained. Prayers are appreciated by the family.
9/10 Update – The lab results showed that the entirety of the cancer was removed from the colon, but 2 out of 50 lymph node tested showed signs of cancer, so chemo is next. Everybody is optimistic.

8/19 – mngiggle requested for prayers for his brother-in-law, who is in the ICU for pneumonia and possibly sepsis.
9/18 Update – The brother-in-law was released from the ICU and has been home for the a couple of weeks, and has been getting stronger again. Thank you all for your prayers!

9/6 – Jewells45 had bad news and needs prayers. Her CT scan indicated several nodes on her lungs, too many to count. It is very probable that she has lung cancer. Her husband is devastated, and she is scared to death.
10/5 Update - She is at stage 5 and has some in her bones, mostly around the spine and rub cage. Her doctor is phenomenal. He said he can’t cure her, but he can treat her and says she could live many more years. Treatment will involve chemo and immunotherapy.
10/6 Update – The PET scan of her bones was not nearly as bad as she feared. It should be manageable with radiation. She is very relieved!

9/10 – Greyman27 requests prayers for his lumbar fusion surgery on 9/15, his third surgery in 19 years to fix low back/nerve issues. He is hopeful that this turns out to be the permanent fix his surgeon believe it will be.

9/16 – Pillage Idiot requests prayers for his father. Dad has been battling severe heart disease and two different cancers for the last several years. He was recently infected with an antibiotic-resistant bacteria that put him in the ICU with multiple organs failing. The doctor said to gather the family, since this would probably be his last day. But after 3 days, his kidneys started to function, and his blood work is improving! Please help see if we can push him back to the top of the hill!

9/17 – SanFranpsycho asks for prayers for complete and immediate healing of his friend Paul, who learned he has a malignant tumor on his pancreas. Paul has been his closest friend for his entire life – since the first day of kindergarten over 50 years ago.

The doctors are having trouble finding the cause, and his next step is to see a neurologist.

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.

Be nice to one another and have a wonderful weekend. If you run with sharp objects you are on your own.
