The Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

OK, it's not exactly coffee but some of the Morons like some good old fashioned hot chocolate with marshmallows. Pour in some Peppermint Schnaps and a good time can be had by all.

Before the Prayer revival, just remember our simple rules:

1) Enjoy your bloviating and opining in this open thread.
2) Be kind to one another.
3) Remember if you run with sharp objects the ER docs on the weekend aren't happy to be there.
4) Have an enjoyable weekend.

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:

2/13 – Teresa in Fort Worth would appreciate continued prayers for her daughter’s healing after hip replacement surgery.

1/28 - Tonypete asks for prayers for his daughter. She continues to make very poor life choices and now finds herself living in a hovel with bottom of the barrel roommates (like herself) and two actual pigs. The place is filthy and should be condemned. She has been blessed with all she needs to live a happy, fruitful life and yet rejects it all.
2/13 Update – Continued prayers for Tonypete’s daughter are requested. Tonypete and his wife took a road trip and visited their daughter for a few days. She has adopted as family a wildly dysfunctional girlfriend and her parents which only adds to the already crushing burdens of her own. Tonypete fears she will be lost forever if she doesn’t begin to use the skills and values they tried to teach her.

2/4 – Stephan requests prayers that our God-awful nation will get back on the right track.

2/4 – Sal requests prayers for her younger brother who was diagnosed with ALS. He was holding steady and enrolled in a research program, but is losing ground more rapidly now. Prayers for him and his family would be most appreciated.

2/6 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her church’s beloved and elderly organist, Jessie, who fell at a church luncheon and has a pelvic fracture. Thanks so much.
2/11 Update – Jessie also broke her elbow, so she will miss playing at church.

2/7 – Annie’s Stew requests prayers for her step-grandson, age 17, who is experiencing life similar to Grannysaurus Rex’ grandson: anxiety, depression, thoughts of suicide. Prayers for strengthened faith in God and purpose in life are appreciated.

2/9 – Jane D’Oh’s husband is still undergoing therapy as an outpatient. A couple of days ago they found out that he is paralyzed from the knee down on his left leg, so they have a neurologist appointment next Friday to try and determine the cause. In the meantime, Jane and family remain utterly grateful for all the prayers. After her husband was released from the hospital, they were told that he had been the most critically ill patient in the place and that it was a miracle he survived. The prayers helped tremendously.

2/9 – Russkiltlover asked for prayers for a co-worker who had a massive heart attack at work, and is on life-support. The co-worker was 28. He was a super sweet guy, great construction manager, and fun to work with.

2/14 – Kam Fong as Chin Ho asked for prayers for his co-worker and wife, as their 15-year-old son was killed in an accidental shooting.

2/18 – Jewells45 gave an update on her cancer. The CT scan showed no new growth, so that was fantastic news. There are ups and downs, be she is feeling better.

2/18 – Intruderdriver asked for prayers for Steve, a retired Marine aviator and airline pilot, who was hospitalized with a cancer that had metastasized into his bones, brain, and lungs.

2/20 – Iron Mike Golf asked for prayers as he underwent a shoulder replacement.

2/21 – Palerider at AoS requested prayers for her co-worker, William. He has battled brain cancer before. It came back this fall, and he did a round of intense treatment at Mayo. He is now having vision issues making it difficult for him to do his work on the computer. She requests prayers that the vision issues resolve quickly and his cancer is put back into remission.

2/21 P has for prayers, as his family has been having an interesting time lately. His dear wife was in the hospital over Christmas and New Year’s. She has lost her hearing and may need implants. She can walk now with a walker, which is a huge improvement over the last month. Additionally, their youngest son had ACL surgery in late Dec.

2/24 – Legally Sufficient asked for the Horde’s prayers as she undergoes total knee replacement surgery on 2/27. She asks for strength and continued faith. She also asked for prayers for her husband, and asks that God would provide him with strength and patience as he helps nurse her through this.

2/24 – SnailRacer asked for prayers for the family and friends of WDS - Westminster Dog Show -Diane who passed away last week.

2/25 – J asked for prayers for a new trap-shooting club that is starting. He asks that it is successful for all the adults and children involved and doesn’t get attention outside of their pro-hunting community (if you know what I mean).

2/25 – Dr_No sends an update and thanks for the prayers for healing for his daughter Megan. We had prayed for her when she was going through chemotherapy for colon cancer 2 years ago. She just tested again, and is still cancer-free! He prays for blessings and healing for those still dealing with illness and loss.

2/25 – Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd sends prayers of thanks for his daughter’s turnaround. She had become alienated from her parents and from God, and now has come back more toward faith and is more kind and concerned toward them. This has also helped his wife’s faith, too, which has been struggling due to these troubles with their daughter.

3/1 – Inogame asked for prayers. He had come to the Horde after his wife miscarried 2 years ago, and appreciated our prayers and kindness. They were blessed with a little girl later that year. Now they are in the same situation. They have lost another baby and need prayers against the sorrow and depression.

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.
