Thank you Gentlemen.

Good morning Horde, boys, girls and everything in between. Before we get to the Prayer Revival just a few housekeeping items to take care of. (Rulz for those of you in Richland Center)

1. This is an open thread, please feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate away.
2. Be nice to one another. Let's not stop this thread.
3. Running with sharp objects is highly frowned upon. Run at your own risk.
4. Have a great weekend!

Thank you Annie for your diligent work being our Prayer Revival Custodian.

I would also like to ask for prayers for our local, state and federal officials.

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:

5/25 – 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.

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.
6/22 Update – They are going to get a second opinion. She still doesn’t want to do any more chemo, but maybe another doctor can come up with something else.

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.
6/27 Update – J.J. posted: “On a personal note: for those who have been asking about me, I’m four days into treatment and mercifully not feeling any side effects so far. Thank you for your continued support and prayers.” Grumpy and Recalcitrant sends a big thank you to God for helping to keep J.J. strong at this time, and asks that we all keep J.J. in our prayers as he continues with his chemo and radiation therapy for his cancer.

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!

6/22 – Muldoon updated the Horde that the various criminal investigations groups will be searching the week of 6/24. He sent thanks for the previous prayers and words of support.

6/22 – Our country is screwed offered prayers of thanksgiving that their daughter, age 27, battling breast cancer, is on her last chemo treatment. She has tolerated it very well. She still will have surgery in August.

6/22 – Aetius451AD sent thanks to the Horde for the prayers, and thanks to God, for the healing of his dad after a heart attack and surgery. Dad is cleared for normal activity now.

6/22 – Tonypete requested prayers for Sandy, a friend from church who passed suddenly.

6/22 – Gushka asked for prayers for herself and for her husband’s soul. His body was found in the river. He had been missing since 12/8. The coroner is ruling it a suicide.

6/23 – Steck asked for prayers for a former co-worker named Allen. Before Allen was transferred back to his former job, Allen became cold and distant after hearing that Steck is a born again Christian. As a former atheist, Steck’s experience is that there’s often a nearby “support system” of fellow atheists. Please pray hard to bring Jesus into this fine man’s life, and into the lives of those around him and change their hearts as well.

6/25 – TP asked for prayers for JT, who is ill and in need of prayer.

6/25 – Alberta Oil Peon posted that he has a lump of some sort impinging on one of his vocal cords. He is booked for surgery on 7/31.

6/26 – VM requested prayers for 2 co-workers. Mrs. C, who is hospitalized for an unspecified illness. And Mrs L, whose teen daughter is in the hospital for a seizure.

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.
