The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

Good morning boys and girls and every thing in between. Wearing white after Labor Day is frowned upon, amirite?

Before we enter the Prayer Revival just a few housekeeping matters to go over. (Rulz for those of you in Suamico.)

1. This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
2. Be kind, be nice. Even trolls have feelings. And please. No jumping on the couch.
3. Running with sharp objects will eventually cost you. Just a friendly reminder.
4. Have a great weekend!

Thank you Annie for your stellar work with the Weekly Prayer List.

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:

8/6 - LMD Outer Banker requested prayers for a son who is undergoing an experimental treatment for chronic Lyme disease, which he has been battling for 25 years. He will be in a clinic abroad for about a month.
8/31 Update – The son is on his way home. After one month of treatment, the tests appear to show he is free of Lyme and its coinfections. For the first time in 15 years, he no longer has to take antibiotics. Now the challenge is for his immune system to repair itself to be able to ward off future problems. The clinic indicates that will take about 6 months of healthy eating and supplements. Thank you for your prayers; LMD Outer Banker and family are crying in joy.
9/7 Update – Someone Else asked for more information about the clinic and location where this treatment was possible, if LMD Outer Banker would be willing to post a comment with that information, or let Annie’s Stew know so she can forward the information. Someone Else has a relative who has suffered for years and was finally diagnosed with Lyme Disease. Someone Else’s relative also needs prayers for healing.
9/14 Update – the Clinic is in Germany, under clinicum.st.georg. (The URL is https://www.klinik-st-georg.de/en). It is extremely expensive. The son said for most of the people there it was life or death.

8/17 – Oddbob asked for prayers for the family of M, his daughter’s friend, who passed away last week.

8/17 – Dave in Fla asked for prayers. He is looking for guidance related to his job. He is about 3 years from retirement, and returned to work from a vacation to find that he was removed from his position without explanation, and after demonstrated success, due to office politics. He still has a job, and can keep working in FL, but he is also considering an offer from the company’s San Diego location. It’d be a burden to be bi-coastal for 3 years until retirement, but he knows and trusts the people at that location.

8/23 – Grumpy and Recalcitrant requested continued prayers for J.J. Sefton. J.J. is feeling “not too bad, all things considered”. His post-radiation/chemo MRI is scheduled for the first week of Sept, and this is when he will find out where things are at, concerning his cancer. Please keep praying for complete remission, recovery, and a return to good health.
9/7 Update – J.J. sends his thanks for all the prayers and kind words. He says he is convinced that it has helped him get this far.
9/14 Update – J.J. said the medical team is very pleased with his progress, and the next phase is 6 months of maintenance chemo and continued monitoring via MRIs, presumably for the rest of his life, however long that is to be. He also asks God’s blessing to all.

8/24 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for a friend, P, whose daughter was getting married in the RCC church on 8/24. P is disaffected from the RCC, believes in God, but not in Jesus. P’s wife is involved in the RCC church, so this is a sticking point with her. Also, prayers are requested for blessings for the daughter and son-in-law, and that everyone gets back and forth safely, and that the people at the wedding feel the presence of God and have a lovely time.

8/24 – tbodie Lurker asked for prayers for a 2nd ablation surgery, scheduled for 9/30. Hoping this one sticks.

8/31 – Tonypete requested prayers for his wife’s friend Barb. She is suffering from some type of mental disturbance and is a mess.

8/31 – Huerfano asked for prayers for a nephew, FHC, who sustained a lower back injury in a car accident a couple of months ago. He is running out of treatment options, short of surgery, which no one wants.

8/31 – Jewells45 sent an update. She started on Cyremza 2 weeks ago, and the only side effects are really bad headaches and fatigue. She is praying this works.
9/7 Update – Jewells and her husband had a tough weekend. Jewells had a lesion on her leg that hurt so bad she couldn’t walk, and her husband had to drive himself to the ER. He was unable to urinate, and in terrible pain. The problem was related to his prostate.
9/21 Update – Jewells and her husband had a bad week. They went to ER again, and after 6 hours of waiting, only to be told that blood in the urine is common when you have a catheter. He also had a bladder infection. Jewells also thinks there are more lesions forming in her rib cage and upper arms. They are very painful. The infusions are going pretty well.

8/31 Zibby requested prayers for her brother-in-law, who was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer and given 2 months to live. The family is in shock and Zibby’s husband is devastated. The BIL is the oldest sibling and beloved by everyone. Thank you for your prayers.

8/31 – AnnaS1’s husband died in July, and her heart is shattered. She needs some prayers. If anyone else has lost a spouse, how did you get through it?
9/14 Update – thank you to the people who have responded in comments and contacting Annie to share their email with AnnaS1.

8/31 – Morgan, loyal lurker, just got a new job and is very hopeful. He is requesting prayers that this will work out, that he can prove to be a valuable employee, and that God will bless the firm and its clients.

9/2 – Anderson Cooper’s giant anus has a praise update for the prayer list. His stage 4 esophageal cancer (lymph nodes and lungs secondary) is gone after 6 months of integrated therapy. The new scan is clean. Praise God. Thank you Horde.

9/3 – Ben Had posted that JT is sounding really good and sends his thanks for the prayers and concern. He will be in the rehab facility for a while longer.

9/7 – Tonypete requested prayers for his lovely better half. She had an injury that resulted in 4-5 staples in the back of her head. No permanent damage or serious injury, so they are thankful for that.

9/7 – Sal asked for continued prayers for Pooky’s girl, who is waiting for Lil’ Pooky to be induced (or not), and prayers for her friend J, 80, who could use prayers for healing. J. tripped and face-planted on her patio. She is home, but facing a longish recovery.
9/14 Update – Baby boy Pooky has arrived. Mom and baby are home.

9/7 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for healing for C, a member of her congregation, who is undergoing cancer treatment (chemo right now). She has a positive attitude, but the chemo exhausts her.

9/11 – Jmel asked for prayers for her sister, who was hospitalized, and sent thanks later in the day to those who prayed. Her sister’s blood work is looking good.

9/14 – COMountainMarie had asked for prayers. She was diagnosed with breast cancer a couple of weeks ago.

9/14 – MH sent a prayer of thanks for the fire fighters and first responders for tackling the dangerous “Davis Fire” in Reno, NV this past week.

9/14 – Sal asked for prayers for E and her 100 year old mother, who is being moved into a new care facility this week, that the move will not be too difficult and that she will adjust well.

9/16 – Teresa in Fort Worth asked for prayers for her husband’s coworker, Chuck. He is a young family man in his 40s who received a diagnosis of colon cancer a few months ago, and things are looking pretty bad right now. He had been receiving chemo in preparation for surgery, but now the tumor(s) are intertwined with other organs, so they cannot safely operate. He and his wife divorced a few months before the diagnosis, but she is still helping him out. His two adolescent sons are having a hard time adjusting to all the upheaval. Chuck is planning to sell his house so he can move in with his dad, who is in bad health as well.

9/16 – notsothoreau asked for prayers for a woman from church, R, and her family. R just lost her son to suicide. He left a wife and 3 kids behind. There were no warning signs and R is in shock.

9/17 – PA Dutchman asked for prayers for his sister, Lori, and her husband, Fred. Fred just learned that he has stage 4 lung cancer and there is nothing doctors can do for him.

9/18 – “…” asked for prayers for a friend, “J”, who was injured in a hit and run. He is left with back pain and his arm is numb.

9/19 – Nova Local posted that she

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.
