Good morning Commenters and Lurkers. Thanks for stopping by. Before you consume mass quantities of caffeine just a few housecleaning matters:
- Open thread, opine and/or bloviate.
- Be nice to one another.
- If you run with sharp objects be prepared for the long wait at the ER today.
- Have a nice 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:
3/18 – gp asks for prayers for Al, who is homebound, needy, and lonely. He also asks for prayers for Brian, who is afflicted by the horrible maladies of old age.
4/1 Update: Brian is on the mend from his latest bout of disease.
4/15 Update: Al overcame a long-standing problem that was keeping him off the HF radio, so now he can talk to people all around the USA, all day long, and it’s making him very happy. Thanks again!
3/29 – Notsothoreau asked for prayers for her co-worker, C. He is a young guy and the new management is grinding him down. Prayers that he can quickly find a new job where he is appreciated.
3/30 – Hrothgar asked for prayers on behalf of Ed L., who is a member of the Moron Gun Club. Ed’s mother passed away in Hawaii this past weekend. He and his brother will be busy settling her affairs there (in Hawaii) over the two weeks or so. He did get to see her over the Christmas holiday, which was a blessing.
4/1 – NaughtyPine’s mom is receiving hospice at home. She’s in decent spirits and seldom has pain; they are hoping this continues. Prayers also for Dad, who has health problems of his own and is convinced she’s getting better every day. They recently celebrated 58 years of marriage.
4/6 – Fenelon Spoke asks for continued prayers for the church she serves, that if it’s God’s will they stay open to the glory of God, through some financial arrangements with either the Open Space Committee or neighbors who have expressed an interest. She is touched and grateful for the support in various ways from kindly Horde members. God bless you all! Thanks to all praying for their church patriarch, Ray. He is doing better than he was a few days ago, and Fenelon so appreciates the prayer support. Also, thanks for prayers for Jessie, their organist. She is making some recovery and hopes to play for Mother’s Day. Also, she thanks God and a very kindly poster who has been advocating for FenSon to get a summer internship with his company. It’s really something FenSon is interested in, so prayers that it can be worked out would be appreciated.
4/8 – Jayhawkone asked for prayers for his sister-in-law GLL. A malignant polyp was discovered in her uterus on 4/6, and she will have a hysterectomy in the next two weeks.
4/12 – Prayers are appreciated for Jane D’Oh and her family. Her husband passed away on 4/12. He had a medical emergency on Monday, where his lungs filled with fluid, as happened in December. He received CPR and was hospitalized, on life support. He was surrounded by family and friends and passed away peacefully on Wednesday. She sends her appreciation for the prayers.
4/15 – Henry asked for prayers for his neighbor, Henry, who had a stroke about a month ago.
4/15 – Chopperpilot asked for prayes for Josh C., a USMC veteran who’s currently being treated for stage 4 colon cancer. He’s fighting hard.

Romans 8:26-27
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
