media stuff flying around. He withdrew from school and is still depressed. His folks are praying he is able
to get better and re-enroll in the fall.
4/26 – Sponge and his family could use prayers of comfort, as his grandmother just passed away. She

prayer for healing from his auto accident. He also prays for blessings upon the site and its moderators.
4/29 Update – Today he was pain-free! Praise be to God!
5/2 – Cat Ass Trophy’s father-in-law could use some prayers. He was admitted to the hospital last night.
He was hit hard by the bronchitis going around. After more extensive tests, it was diagnosed as
parainfluenza.
5/2 – Sponge asked for prayers. His father fell over the weekend and hurt himself badly. He has 6 broken
ribs, a partially collapsed lung, and a fractured right arm. Some of the ribs splintered, so they will do
surgery to insert a plate to stabilize them. His dad wasn’t in the greatest health anyway, so this will take
a toll.
5/12 Update – Sponge reports that his dad is still a bit confused, but he was conscious and talking this
past week. He still experiences some significant pain, but other than that, he appears to be on the road
to a recovery of sorts.
5/2 – DaveT asks for prayers. He was trying to save his cats and his home, and then had an unfortunate
court ruling, related to a family member who burdened the home with some debt. DaveT is over 65 and
not able to work as much as he would like, and the cats have special needs, too (blind and older). He has
a GiveSendGo set up, so please email Annie’s Stew for more information about how to contribute, if you
would like to donate.
5/3 – Jewells asked for prayers for her niece, who had a biopsy done and they are pretty sure she has
cervical cancer. She asked for prayers, please, for her sweet niece.
5/5 – gp asked for prayers for Ivan, who is in the hospital with heart problems. He is a father,
grandfather, and great-grandfather. Thank you!
5/11 – FenelonSpoke again thanks everyone for the prayers and cards and donations to their church.
They are blessed by your concern. The latest update is that the township Open Space intends to go
ahead with the purchase of the land. However, the township committee still has to approve the
purchase, so please continue to keep them in prayer. Thanks and God bless you all!
5/13 – Farmer Bob requested prayers for healing and peace. His wife’s mother died from Alzheimer’s
disease last Sunday. They were caring for her in their home, but he was out of town on business. When
he called his wife (of 34 years and 5 children) to comfort her, she let him know that she no longer loves
him and would prefer he never return. He finds himself homeless and alone for the first time in 34 years.
5/16 – Tonypete lost a friend this week, Ron. Prayers of comfort for Ron’s family and friends would be
helpful.

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.
