The Classical Saturday Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

Good morning boys and girls and everything in between. Before we enter the Prayer Revival just a few housekeeping matters to go over. (Rulz for those of you in Marinette.)

1. This is an open thread, feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
2. Be kind be nice, remember to put yourself in the other guy's shoes. Slugs do have shoes.
3. No, you do not have any expressed or implied permission to run with sharp objects. So get that idea out of your mind.
4. Have a great weekend!

AoSHQ 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:
7/9 - Teresa in Fort Worth asks for prayers for her niece Amanda, and her husband Barkley. They are at
Vanderbilt Hospital, where Amanda seems to be rejecting her second heart transplant. She is only 40
years old, and has been having heart issues for 20 years. She had her first heart transplant 4 years ago,
and things are not looking good.
8/2 Update – Amanda isn’t out of the woods yet, but her condition is improving each day.
7/11 – JR requested prayers for the families of those killed in Gaza.
8/2 – JR asked for prayers for the starving children in Gaza.
7/11 – Matthew Kant Cipher requested prayers for Layne, a family friend who is also his son’s FIL. He
was diagnosed with bladder cancer and is awaiting further test results to determine whether they treat
with chemo or remove his bladder. As of now, it appears to be contained. Please pray that he and his
family are blessed with God’s love and grace through this time of trial.
8/13 Update – Layne has had some good news. His PET scan indicated that the cancer hasn’t spread
beyond his bladder. Also, it seems to be a less aggressive form of cancer than originally diagnosed. The
Horde prayers are blessing him greatly and are immensely appreciated. Please keep them coming!
7/23 – D sent an update on his wife Susan, as they deal with cancer. The last few weeks have been a
roller coaster. They cannot operate on the cancer, because it has spread too much. They have started
chemo and hope to get it to shrink. Susan’s gallbladder is inflamed, but they cannot remove it, due to
the chemo, and her blood sugar is having issues. Thanks to everyone for their prayers; Susan has pulled
through all of this and is looking great as they keep praying to the Lord.
8/14 Update – Susan had to go back to the hospital and is still there. It seems like every time they
make progress, something else happens and she is back in the hospital. Prayers are deeply appreciated
and needed.
7/26 – Stateless asked for prayers for his neighbors. The nice lady across the street lost her husband of
30 years about 3 months ago. And a different neighbor lost his beloved wife of 34 years in July.
7/26 – Fenelon Spoke requested prayers for J, a dear lady who attends her church. J has been going
downhill since she had a heart procedure several months ago and now cannot speak. She may have
dementia and is living in an assisted living facility.
7/26 – Coelacanth sent his thanks for prayers for his son. He has come a _very_ long way but could still
use more prayers as he deals with vax and black mold injuries. Also, Coelacanth cut his left hand pretty
badly and severed two tendons. He will be on light duty at work for 6+ weeks. Prayers are appreciated.
8/16 Update – Surgery for the repair went very well. He had cut 3 tendons, and all were repaired. He
has 6 weeks in a split and then limited use for a few months thereafter. Thank you all for all your
support and prayers!

7/26 - Brother Tim was discharged from the cancer rehab facility and has returned to his routine of living
out of hotel rooms, while working on better housing prospects. He is praising God for all the blessings
and mercies!
7/30 Update – Brother Tim found out that the cancerous mass impinged on a blood vessel. He needs a
full body scan to make sure it has not spread. He is relieved that he only needs radiation and not chemo
to make sure the original cancer stays gone. He’s also out of PTO. He said that sometimes it feels like
2025 will be the death of him – possibly literally.
8/16 Update – The latest scan confirms the cancer did not spread, so radiation therapy will likely start
on 8/28. The other problems are not budging, but he is thankful for the news he gets that is good.
8/1 – Jmel requested prayers for her husband, whose father just passed away after fighting cancer for
two years.
8/2 – “Perfessor” Squirrel asked for prayers. His job seems to be in dire jeopardy.
8/2 – Teresa in Fort Worth received the good news that her cancerous tumors continue to shrink. She
had some not-so-good news, that she has 2 pulmonary emboli, and has been put on a blood thinner,
which should dissolve the clots and prevent any new ones.
8/4 Update – The oncological surgeon said everything is looking great. After her next CT scan, they will
be planning surgery to remove the tumors. The largest tumor is showing signs of calcification, which
means that it is dying.
8/2 – FenelonSpoke requested prayers for P. She was to have an experimental but successful heart
procedure which the surgeon thinks will help her arrythmia, pain, and fatigue, but insurance will not pay
for it. Prayer that rough places are made smooth for her to have this procedure.
8/4 – Moki posted that s/he could use some prayers. A daughter has gone AWOL, claiming that they
don’t love her.
8/9 Update – Moki reported that her daughter has come home.
8/4 – Inogame asked for continued prayers. Baby #5 continues to grow, and the genetic test came back
clean. Prayers for mom and baby (daughter #4), and also dad and son are appreciated.
8/13 – MkY sent an update on his wife Judy’s battle with cancer. Her immunotherapy is scheduled for
every 3 weeks. Six weeks ago, she had a cold and had to skip it, and it was the best she had felt in a year.
So they skipped the last one, too. She is scheduled for it again on 8/14. She’s not hurting. She is sleeping.
She’s not healthy, but she’s got stage 4 cancer! September is the next CT scan, and they will find out if
the immunotherapy is making enough of an impact to continue. They are very grateful for the prayers.
8/13 – MkY would appreciate prayers for Butch and Harry, who have worked with him for 20 years. Both
have recently been diagnosed with cancer. Butch has liver cancer and Harry has cancer in his larynx.
8/16 – Our Country is Screwed sent an update. He said he had his last chemo last week, and has a break
before radiation begins. Everything looks good so far. He is easily fatigued, and has to build strength.
8/16 – Hadrian asked for prayers for Her Majesty, who is away on the show circuit, with The Big Dummy
until Labor Day. Prayers for health and safety (especially from hurricanes) for them are appreciated.

8/16 – naturalfake requested prayers for a quick and full recovery from a bilateral inguinal hernia. It will
be 2-4 weeks before being able to move around without pain, and up to 12 weeks, depending on how it
heals. Thank you for the prayers.
8/16 – From about That Time asked for prayers for a daughter, whose baby is overdue. The daughter
was scheduled to be induced on 8/17.
8/16 – GV requested prayers for his neighbors, Kathy and Nicola, a mother and daughter. Kathy has a
tumor near the base of her brain. She has been in and out of hospice care, and is getting radiation at a
hospital an hour away. She is very weak and can barely walk a few steps. Nicola has a heart of gold, and
quit her job and moved in with her mother to care for her. They are now saddled with medical expenses
that go along with a bedridden patient, plus the cost and difficulty of maintaining two homes.
8/16 – Madmike requests prayers for his friend Jim. In less than a month, Jim went from being a fit,
healthy 70+ runner to bedridden, needing both open heart and brain surgery.
8/20 – rickb223 sent an update. His wife, Stacy, was diagnosed with Stage 4 endometrial cancer on
3/5/23. She had been seeing an oncologist in Plano, TX, but after two years, the chemotherapy was no
longer working, and was doing more harm than good. They wanted to try and let her body heal for a
couple of weeks. She went on hospice 8/1/25. They thought they would have more time, but God had
other plans. She went Home at 10:20 am, to be with her father, brother, granddaughter, and our Lord.

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.
