Good morning Morons. Welcome to November. Just a couple of house keeping matters to go over before the Prayer Revival. (Rulz)
- Open thread, feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate away until KT comes along.
- Be nice to one another. And leave the 'Ette's hair alone.
- Styptic Pencils will not stop the bleeding from running with sharp objects. Neither will Kwik Stop. Don't ask me how I know.
D) And lastly, please have a wonderful weekend.
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:
9/9 � San Franpsycho sent an update Paul, who we have been praying for as he deals with cancer,has elected to discontinue further treatment of his cancer. Please continue to pray for his complete andimmediate healing.
10/14 Update � Thank you for your prayers. They had a pizza party at Paul�s house to celebrate hisbirthday. San Franpsycho was thankful for the opportunity to tell his friend how much he loves him.
10/22 Update � Paul passed away. He was with his dear wife and son. May his memory be a blessing.Thank you to all who prayed and praise the Lord.
9/23 � Polliwog the Ette requested prayers for her mother-in-law, Peggy, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. It seems to be contained, but fast-growing, and hopefully a lumpectomy will besufficient. She is understandably nervous about the whole thing and would appreciate prayers.
10/23 Update � Peggy�s surgery went well, but further tests showed that her lymph nodes did have cancer as well, which means chemo and radiation are in her future.
10/28 Update � Peggy misunderstood, and there is no lymph node involvement. But she will still need chemo due to the size of the tumor.
9/24 � Eromero was having dinner with a 95 year-old buddy at the senior living facility, and had to bringhis friend to the ER with pneumonia symptoms.
10/14 Update � Eromero�s friend passed away on 10/4. His widow is 93, deaf, and nearly blind, and Mrs. E. is her caregiver. They are planning a memorial, tying up loose ends, finding resources, etc. They will miss their friend, even though they know he�s better off than we are. Perspective.
10/7 � Halfhand asked for prayers for her dear friend and former neighbor, Kathleen, who has beendiagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer and is currently undergoing chemo.
10/7 � AnchorPoint asked for prayers related to a possible job change that terrifies him. It could beabsolutely fantastic for him personally and professionally. He praysfor God�s will, and not his, though.
10/10 � TP requested prayers for her co-worker, J. She has worked with him for many years, and was told today that they are firing J and his crew. Prayers for all of them are welcome, too. But J. is close to retirement age and it�s unlikely he�ll find a good job. Or, prayers that she is wrong and that he can bounce back from this.
10/12 � Hadrian the Seventh said he would appreciate prayers for his sister. An echo cardiogram showed the calcification of her aortic valve is severe and she�ll need surgery to replace it. The operation is scheduled for 11/15.
10/14 � grammie winger would appreciate prayers for her son, who has been in the ICU for 10 days andit looks like it will be a couple more.
10/21 Update � He is doing better. He spent 11 days in ICU and is in residential treatment now.Grammie has high hopes.
10/14 � Jewells says thanks for the continued prayers. She is on a 6 week break from chemo, and is feeling so much better. The date for the next treatment is the day after she gets home from Texas.
10/14 � blaster posted an update on sra blaster�s mom, which is home hospice � she has had someimprovement. They�ve dialed in her pain meds and she is much more comfortable without being knocked out completely. She is better in ways that a late-stage Alzheimer�s patient can be better.
10/14 � gourmand du jour is praying for his friend Wes, studying in Jerusalem, to find a way home safely soon.
10/16 � Donna&&&&&&V and her sister could use some prayers. Donna&&&&&&V had surgery for
breast cancer, and her sister (whom she lives with) has lung cancer, and now also a blood cancer that cannot be treated. Over the past few days she has had unbearable pain in her calf and foot, and they found 3 blood clots. Donna&&&&&&V is afraid she will lose her sister and very best friend.
10/17 � mngiggle requested prayers for his sister, who has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer andstarts treatment next week. She and her family could use all the prayers they can get.
10/18 � Fox2! asked for prayers for Shelby, who is due in three weeks.
10/20 � SB asked for prayers for his mother. She is in end-of-life care now. Prayers for his father are needed as well.
10/21 � Sugar Plum Fairy asked for prayers for her dad, Mindful Webworker, as he has been pretty sick or the last few days. Prayers for recovery to full health and strength, and wisdom for her mom to help him would be appreciated.
10/28 Update � Mindful Webworker had an emergency surgery and is recovering well. They are not sure what happened, and tests are underway, but so far his prognosis is good. He is in good spirits and is recovering well. She sends thanks from the whole family for the prayers, and a special thanks to Muldoon for the limerick, which brought laughter to some dark days. Please keep praying, and thanks and glory to God for the doctors saving dad�s life.
10/26 � Cybersmythe has been laid off for the third time in 15 months and asks for prayers and good wishes.
10/26 � Diogenes sent thanks for the prayers for his daughter. The surgery on a brain tumor went welland, while it�ll be a while before they know the final results, the docs were very optimistic.
10/28 � FenelonSpoke thanked the people who prayed for her township open space committee to buy land from her church. It has been approved. Now they just have to have enough money to last until this is all settled.
10/28 - ME asked for prayers. He has been unemployed for nearly two years. He isn�t even gettinginterviews anymore; there have been hardly any in the last 6 months. The longer he is unemployed, theharder it seems to even get an interview. Maybe with the Lord�s blessing he could finally land a jobbefore his savings completely run out. Which is right around the corner.
