Good morning boys and girls and everything in between. Before we enter the Prayer Revival just a few housekeeping matters to go over before we start. (Rulz for those of you in Little Suamico.)
- This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
- Be kind, be nice. Yes, even to the trolls.
- Running with sharp objects? If I have written it once I have written it 12,702 times. No running with sharp objects.
- Have a wonderful first weekend of October.
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:
9/7 – Moki would be grateful for prayers for a nephew who just had a heart attack. He is 54 years old,
and has 3 kids under age 5.
9/7 – GWB requested prayers for a neighbor who is suffering after multiple back surgeries and in a LOT
of pain.
9/9 – Pookysgirl asked for prayers as Pooky has a procedure to hollow out his prostate on 9/23. They are
not sure of the long-term implications of his acute kidney injury, but his kidneys are recovering. God has
worked miracles to keep Pooky with them in the past, as an answer to many, many prayers.
9/13 Update – Pookysgirl reported that Pooky is on the mend. His kidneys are recovering, he is
sleeping better, he has been more confident interacting with the kids. Prayers of thanks!
9/11 – D sent an update for Susan, his wife, and her battle with cancer: Thank you, everyone, again for
your prayers for Susan. Her cancer markers went down at the last Dr visit, but she is back to having
abdominal pain that is making it hard to eat right. They are trying to get her weight up and thank God
for the good days they do have. The really good news is that she is able to walk around again without
the fear of falling over.
9/23 Update – The pain has started coming back, so they went to the hospital and found a cyst. They
are trying to determine if it is infected.
9/11 – Annie’s Stew asks for prayers of comfort for Charlie Kirk’s family (first and foremost), prayers for
this country as we all grieve, and that God would reveal His will for us, as we move forward as
individuals and as a country.
9/11 – Kindletot requested prayers for a friend named Wendy, who was diagnosed with stage III breast
cancer. Please pray for healing and reassurance. Wendy is afraid of chemo, which hurt her friend as
much as the cancer did.
9/13 – vmom deport deport deport asked for prayers for her daughter KTE to fully recover from the
stomach bug that she has been suffering through.
9/18 – Taylor reported that WitchDoktor took his own life last week.
9/20 – Tonypete sent happy prayers for Will and Natalie, who were married on 9/19. May they continue
to live God’s plan for themselves and remain as happy as they were on their wedding day.
9/20 – Accomack sent his thanks for the prayers for his wife. She was cleared of the parasites, but her
liver has not returned to normal because of all the antibiotics. She has not been cleared to return to
work, but she has insurance and union payouts, so this could go on for a while.
9/20 – Dash my lace wings asked for prayers for her mama. On 9/17, she fell and broke ribs. It was the
second time in about 6 weeks, and much more painful than the last time.
9/27 Update – Thank you for your prayers. Her mother is recovering slowly.
9/20 – RedMindBlueState asked for prayers for the wife of a close friend. She is back in chemo for a
recurrence of cancer. Please pray for her and her family.
9/21 – P asked for prayers for her brother, T, in New York. He already has stage 4 lung cancer. His car got
totaled one night at 3 am, and when his wife was driving him to the insurance office the next day to
report this, he felt so wobbly that she diverted to the ER, where they found out he’d had a stroke.
9/22 – C requested prayers for a friend whose mother passed away after years of dealing with
dementia.
9/27 – Retired Buckeye Cop wrote to thank the Horde for praying for his kid brother, “J”, after he lost his
job back in June. A few weeks ago, J received two job offers. He accepted the job that offered $13K/year
more pay and had a shorter commute.
9/27 – vmom deport deport deport asked for prayers for her husband’s swift recovery. His procedure
was minor, but not quite as minor as expected.
9/27 – Sock Monkey requested prayers for his paster, who went to the ER with chest pains and slurred
speech. The pastor is a young man, late 30s, and relatively fit. He has 3 young children with a 4 th due in
Oct. Please pray for his recovery and strength for his wife. He has been a tremendous blessing to the
church.
9/27 – Joe Kidd posted a request for a friend, Bill, who has assumed sole responsibility for the care of his
90-year-old mother. (The original caretaker has fallen into alcoholism and was been removed from the
premises. Please pray that she gains clarity and resolve to battle that demon.) And please pray that Bill’s
path is made straight as he decides between taking early retirement or continuing to balance full time
work with caretaking. Thank you and God bless.
9/27 – From about That Time asked for prayers for surgery on 10/1 to remove a growth. Please pray that
it’s just a small disposable annoyance, as expected.
9/27 – Tonypete gave an update on the people from his church who were in an automobile accident
earlier this year. Cheri is doing much better. While convalescing from the car crash, she fell and broke
her hip, so she is recovering from that also. One of the passengers, Nick, had a heart episode during the
wreck and died. He was his wife’s caregiver and she is now bereft. Prayers are still needed for all.
9/28 - Teresa in Fort Worth gave an update: It has been 1 year since Teresa started “down the cancer
rabbit hole”. She sends her thanks for the prayers as they have buoyed her and her family through this
year. She has been blessed to exceed the original 6-12 months predicted, by the grace of God – and the
prayers of many people. Her next CT scan is in November, and the surgeon is pretty sure that her tumors
will be small enough to remove/destroy.
9/29 – toby928 asked for prayers for a brother named Joe, who is being crushed by grief. Joe’s wife is in
a coma and will likely die in the next few days.
10/1 – Duke Lowell sent an update. He is home now, after 8 days in the hospital and every antibiotic
known to man. He sent thanks for the prayers, and thanks to God for granting him another day in this
glorious world He’s created.
10/2 – Bluebell passed along an update: grammie winger sends her gratitude for all the prayers – she
feels they are working. On Oct 6 she will be starting a cancer treatment program because her doctors
are “cautiously optimistic” that they can give her some more time. Monday she gets the port, followed
by 6 hours of chemo infusion on Tuesday. The Rev is doing better because now he has some hope.
Pleease pray for her as she starts this treatment program because in her words, “prayer changes things”.
10/4 - Legally Sufficient's "Boss" will be undergoing intestinal surgery shortly. It looks scary so prayers for him and his medical team.
10/4 - The Fabulous for safe travels as she travels to visit her oldest daughter who is about to be a mother of a baby girl. Prayers for the mom to be and her child.

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.
