Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

I certainly know that I need a cup or 8 of coffee this morning. And no, I won't be adding salt to it. My coffee, like my heart and soul, black and bitter.

Before we get into the Prayer Revival just a couple of housekeeping matters:

1) Open thread opine and/or bloviate away your morning.
2) Be nice one to one another the alternative isn't pretty.
3) If you must run with sharp objects perhaps encase them with duct tape, I recommend Gorilla brand.
4) Lastly, have a fun weekend.

5/2 – Cat Ass Trophy’s father-in-law could use some prayers. He was admitted to the hospital last night. He was hit hard by the bronchitis going around. After more extensive tests, it was diagnosed as parainfluenza.

5/2 – Sponge asked for prayers. His father fell over the weekend and hurt himself badly. He has 6 broken ribs, a partially collapsed lung, and a fractured right arm. Some of the ribs splintered, so they will do surgery to insert a plate to stabilize them. His dad wasn’t in the greatest health anyway, so this will take a toll.

5/2 – DaveT asks for prayers. He was trying to save his cats and his home, and then had an unfortunate court ruling, related to a family member who burdened the home with some debt. DaveT is over 65 and not able to work as much as he would like, and the cats have special needs, too (blind and older). He has a GiveSendGo set up, so please email Annie’s Stew for more information about how to contribute, if you would like to donate.

5/3 – Jewells asked for prayers for her niece, who had a biopsy done and they are pretty sure she has cervical cancer. She asked for prayers, please, for her sweet niece.

5/5 – gp asked for prayers for Ivan, who is in the hospital with heart problems. He is a father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Thank you!

5/11 – FenelonSpoke again thanks everyone for the prayers and cards and donations to their church. They are blessed by your concern. The latest update is that the township Open Space intends to go ahead with the purchase of the land. However, the township committee still has to approve the purchase, so please continue to keep them in prayer. Thanks and God bless you all!

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.
