Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

Silly Moron coffee drinkers. You've been doing it wrong. Or so says sicence.

THE trusty mug of coffee you sip as you work through the day may be harming your dental health, scientists have revealed.

But fear not - there are ways to still enjoy your morning brew while keeping your pearly whites healthy.

Before we get into the Prayer Revival of this thread, just remember a couple of rules.........

1) It's an open thread feel free to opine and/or bloviate away.
2) Be nice, the banhammer is in the shop getting shined up.
3) Please don't run with sharp objects unless you have a valid health insurance card.
4) Have a nice weekend or don't those choices are up to you.

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:

5/27 – Jewells shared her happy news that the CT scan showed significant shrinkage of the cancerous nodules. Only 3 out of the “too many to count” had grown slightly. There were no new lesions on her bones.

5/27 – Prime Sister sent many, many thanks for the Hordling prayers and to God. Her son in Singapore, who had not been in touch with anyone for 7 months, has contacted a family member.

6/3 – Puddleglum in Pennsyltucky asked for prayers for his friend’s wife, who was diagnosed with breast cancer.

6/8 – Sharkman posted about a girl who could use prayers. She is 7 years old, and just had her third open heart surgery and a pacemaker put in, because she was born with her heart reversed in her chest. Additional surgeries will be coming in her future.

6/8 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers as she considers running for a spot on their local township committee. She is a complete neophyte in running for office, so she said she needs all the prayer support she can get!

6/10 – Jewells asked for prayers to continue for her niece, who was diagnosed with cervical cancer, plus they found 3 cancerous nodes in her lungs. Jewells herself is still going through radiation and it’s “kicking her butt”. Then she will have more chemo.
6/17 Update - Jewells’ niece had her port put in last Thursday and began chemo and radiation on Tuesday. Jewells said how scared her niece is.

6/10 - Farmer Bob posted to the comments. He sends his thanks to the Horde for their prayers and says he’s still working to become the fit, fun, romantic and playful husband worth having that Mrs. Bob deserves. He has lost a lot of weight and still has more to go. So far she has agreed to a weekly “couple talk time” which will consist of prayer, a devotional reading, and light/positive conversation. Continued prayers for him and his wife are appreciated.

6/10 – Joe Kidd asked for prayers for his brother Mike, who needs prayers for healing of his stomach cancer that he has battled for years, and also a sizeable blood clot in his leg. The cancer was retreating until recently, but a new PET scan showed disappointing results. He was really hoping to be done with chemo. At age 65, he’s not sure how much fight he has left in him.

6/20 – J requested a prayer for her younger son Matt, whose seizure symptoms are returning again after 20 years of normalcy. So far he has not had a full-blown seizure, and the doctors are working to adjust his medication. But he can feel them in the background and they are interfering with his ability to do his job. Also, his second child is due in September.

For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew.

Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update.

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.
