The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

Happy Summer and all that BS Morons. Before we enter the Prayer Revival there are just a few housekeeping matters to take care of. (Rulz for those of you in Potosi, WI)

1. This is an open thread, please feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
2. Be nice to one another. It's troll month somewhere.
3. No running with sharp objects. No is there any glassware near the Barel.
4. Have a nice weekend.

Regular commenter and all around good Moron Seamus Muldoon submitted the following for your entertainment. And nostalgia.

A Big Thank You to Annie for the Weekly Prayer Request.

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:

5/22 – Vmom stabby stabby stabby stabby asked for prayers. She has been in the hospital since Monday with sudden dizziness and emesis. They’ve ruled out stroke. They have noticed nystagmus and it might be BPPV. She is scared she won’t be able to function anymore.
6/1 Update – Vmom sends thanks for the prayers while she was in the hospital last week. She is so grateful to be home, back at work, and going to vestibular rehab therapy for her inner ear woes.

5/23 – Olddog in mo could use some prayers. He is going in for surgery again at 10 am. Squamous cell carcinoma under the tongue. It is not a good location due to the proximity to a salivary gland.
5/24 Update – Olddog sent his thanks for the prayers. Surgery went better than expected. No skin graft and so no overnight stay. Flash biopsy was negative.

5/25 – Matthew Kant Cipher requested prayers for his older brother, who was admitted to the hospital with a bowel blockage. It doesn’t sound too serious, but one never knows. He also sends prayers of gratitude for each reader, and for all His incredible blessings which surround us. May our eyes and hearts be opened to clearly recognize His love for us.
6/1 Update – His brother’s hospital stay was brief and his bowel blockage resolved itself naturally. The Horde prayers were answered and are most sincerely appreciated!

5/25 – Tonypete asked for prayers for an elderly neighborhood couple. They are in failing health and abilities. They insist on living independently, yet they can’t do it. Tonypete and his wife are torn between respecting their wishes and privacy, but there are numerous LEO wellness checks each week.
6/8 – Tonypete and R have been subpoenaed to give testimony at the competency hearing in a few weeks, called by the elderly couple’s children. The elderly couple is still fighting against going to an assisted living facility. It’s just a very sad situation.

5/25 – Mindful webworker sent a prayer of thanks for the prayers of the Horde. He is alive and 90% well and 100% grateful for that. He will have more surgery ahead. He also sends thanks for MiladyJo’s hip fixes seem to have worked very well with no complications. She is getting around fine, which is such a blessing after her long time of pain and mobility limitations.

5/25 – Cybersmythe sent word that he got a job! It pays well, but it’s by the Space Center (100+ miles round trip and the traffic sucks). It should be interesting work.

5/25 – Neverenoughcaffiene asked for prayers for all people affected by the barbarity of Hamas.

5/25 – NaCly Dog sent an update, that his wife (who we prayed for last month) is almost back to where she was before she broke 4 ribs.
6/8 – NacLy Dog sent thanks to the Horde for their prayers.

5/25 – Martini Farmer asked for prayers for his grandson, who will probably not graduate from high school due to poor grades. His family is (to put it nicely) “dysfunctional”. He will be here for about a month before summer school, and will be at a non-woke YMCA camp for 3 weeks. Hopefully his perspective will change.

5/25 – Tecumseh Tea gave an update on Pastor Joe, who we prayed for when he had brain surgery in February. He recently had an MRI, and his doctor is very concerned. He has to go for more tests. Please pray for him and his family. His answer to how he felt about this new development was: “In the words of King David, May I dwell in the house of the Lord forever”.
6/5 – Tecumseh Tea sent praise to God that Pastor Joe’s recent concerning test results turned out to be an infection, which is being treated.

5/25 – R posted that he got a call from his doctor’s office that recent tests found blood …. uh…. where it shouldn’t be found. Now he has more tests coming.

5/25 – Nurse Ratched sent thanks for the prayers from a couple of weeks ago. She is healing nicely.

6/1 – Polliwog the ‘Ette requested prayers for her sister C, who has surgery to remove some ovarian cysts and anything else in there that looked suspicious. Now she has to wait for the pathology report, and recover, which is complicated by her being extremely allergic to “all” opioids. Also, she is the family’s main earner, and her disability will only cover about 40% of what she brings in.

6/1 – Tonypete asked for prayers for his BIL, who is cognitively disabled. He lives alone and normally does pretty well, but recently quit his job, which has led to issues: namely money. Social services are involved, but it isn’t going well.

6/1 – G asked for prayers for healing and strength for Uncle Joe. Joe’s wife of 50 years passed earlier this year, and now Joe is having painful back problems. He is in pain and lost without Sally.

6/5 - Teresa in Fort Worth requested prayers for friends, Chris and Debby, whose 22 year-old son (Jeremy) passed away this week. Jeremy choked on food at his daytime facility. He had Down Syndrome and autism, and was non-verbal. His parents know he is in a better place and finally free of his health issues, but they still could use comfort.

6/7 – Village Idiot’s Apprentice posted that his radiation oncology follow-up went well, and he is cancer free. He will have to do surveillance bloodwork for the rest of his life, but that’s okay!

6/8 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her friend and running mate, P. She has been in the hospital in WI with bleeding ulcers. She is doing better now, but still needs additional healing. Thanks so much.

6/11 – Sponge clarified the prayers needed for his wife, “The First Lady”. She has breast cancer, and the initial prognosis is good, as it is Stage 1 and caught early. It is an aggressive form of cancer, and but it is the most common, so they’re feeling good about her full recovery. They meet with the surgeon next week and will know more after that.
6/20 Update – The meeting with the surgeon was moderately frightening, as she ‘s been declared Stage 1B ,which means it’s a relatively aggressive form and can spread quickly. Her surgery has been scheduled for the end of July, but they don’t know the severity of that surgery yet. There are more tests to do and will meet with the oncologist. Thanks for all the prayers.

6/14 – Perfessor Squirrel requests prayers for his friend from church. Jimmy has been suffering some issues with his lungs and could use prayers for healing.

6/15 – Jewells posted that she has decided to end her cancer treatments. She had 6 months to go on her 2 year palliative care program, but the chemo drug is ruining her quality of life.

6/15 – Grumpy and Recalcitrant asked for continued prayers for J.J. Sefton of the Morning Report. He is about to begin chemo and radiation therapy.

6/19 – DangerGirl lost the SanityProd requests prayers for her father, who was admitted to the hospital with respiratory issues. He’s been struggling for the past year, on and off, with shortness of breath and could use prayers for both healing and a proper diagnosis. (The doctors can’t figure out what is causing it.) Thank you!

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.
