The Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

[H/T TRex]

I would stop there just to get a cup of coffee because of their clever name. I'm guessing if they put that much thought into their name, the coffee has to be fine as well.

Now we before we enter the Prayer Revival, just a few house keeping matters to take care of. (Rulz for those of you in Delevan)

1) This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
2) Be kind, be nice. Even the trolls have warped feelings.
3) No. Don't even think about it. No. No running with sharp objects.
4) Have a nice weekend!

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:
5/3 – D asked for prayers for his wife, Susan, who has been having some issues. They went to the hospital on 5/1, and all the signs are pointing to pancreatic cancer. They meet with other doctors on 5/5. Any prayers would be a blessing.
6/5 Update – The doctors have confirmed it is cancer, but they have not yet determined if it can be removed, or if chemotherapy will be needed first, to shrink the mass. They are so thankful for all the prayers and ask for them to continue.
5/10 – Cosda asked for prayers for his wife, who recently had a mole removed that came back as melanoma cancer. She is scheduled for surgery next week, and it looks like that should remove it completely.
6/11 Update – Pathology of the lymph node taken during surgery indicates metastatic cancer cells. Now she will have a brain MRI and a PET scan the week of 6/16. She is classified as stage 3.
5/17 – neverenoughcaffiene asked for prayers for her sister-in-law, Jackie, who is looking at dialysis. Her kidneys have been failing for several years is she is getting close based on her numbers. Hopefully new meds will help.
5/24 – The new meds have not helped. Her score for kidney function is 16, and the trigger for dialysis is 15.
5/17 – B asked for prayers for the Lord to move a bowel food constriction or “kink” out so that his bowels would function properly.
5/31 Update – B sent his thanks for the prayers. He is healed from the bowel obstruction. He requested prayers for his friend, Jerry, who is in the hospital needing surgery for an ulcer and MRSA, and another friend, Mary, who is fighting cancer.
5/23 – Hrothgar asks for prayers for a dear friend’s son. Tim battled cancer 20 years ago, but has been living with kidney disease for several years. It has progressed to the point that he needs a transplant. In a real blessing, he was approved for the transplant list. Please pray for Tim, that he would receive a donated kidney. There is no cost to the donor, and the donor generally goes on to live a full life with just one kidney, and it would make a huge difference for Tim, versus long-term dialysis.
5/31 Update – Tim must lose 50 pounds in the next 90 days to remain on the transplant list, and he is thinking that is impossible. Please pray that he realizes what a God-given blessing he has been given to reach this point, and that he makes the right lifestyle choices to lose that weight.
5/24 – Captain Obvious requested prayers for his friend J, who will be having surgery on 6/9 to try and relieve her chronic pain. She also has concerns because she is on blood thinners and nearly bled out after her hip replacement. Please pray for the best possible outcome and also to relieve her anxiety.
5/24 – L sent an update. Her daughter, Shannon, the Franciscan sister who we prayed for when she had heart surgery, is much improved. There were some setbacks along the way – a problem with defibrillation and a respiratory infection - but she is healed now and will take her final vows soon. L is also much improved, after her knee implant surgery.
5/29 – Teresa in Fort Worth sent an update and her thanks for all the prayers and words of encouragement. They have sustained her and her family as she continues to battle cancer. She continues to receive good news: her oncologist is quite pleased with her response to the current medication protocol; they are decreasing the lab work frequency to every other week instead of weekly; the side effects from chemo have been barely noticeable; she can just take 4 tiny pills for chemo instead of spending one day a week at the cancer center. It’s been 7 months so far, and she expects that at some point the tumors will start growing again, but for now, they are encouraged.
6/6 Update – Teresa has a side effect from the chemo – her fingernails and toenails are starting to loosen and “lift” off their nail beds. It is painful, and also carries a risk of infection.
6/4 – Grumpy and Recalcitrant asked for prayers for his mother (Lynda), asking to give her strength and healing. Also, for the medical staff to be prompted to do a complete and thorough job diagnosing her.
6/7 Update – Lynda has been diagnosed with aortic stenosis. This is a correctable medical issue using surgery where they go in endoscopically via the leg, up to the heart, to fix the lower heart valve that is leaking.
6/6 – tbodie Lurker requested prayers for his son, tbodie Jr, who is in his mid-30s and was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Please pray for healing for tbodie Jr and for peace for his family.
6/11 – Legally Sufficient asks the Horde’s prayers for her friend, Bubba, who was in a bad auto wreck on 6/8. Prayers for comfort, healing, and strength are needed for Bubba and his family. He is in ICU and will be there for a couple more weeks. Thank you!

For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9
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.

18 I should have sent an update on Judy, my wife, and her battle with kidney cancer. Like Teresa, Ft. Worth, her tumors are shrinking. So dramatically, in fact, that they are discussing removing the cancerous kidney.
Evidently, since it is the original source, that would make it easier to attack and perhaps kill the other tumors.
Thanks so much for the prayers.

57 One of the constant equivocations used by the media is that most of those arrested for deportation "don't have a criminal record."

Falsely implying that illegal entry is not a crime.

But Trump is now also charging them with failure to register as there is an ignored law that requires all persons who enter to provide fingerprints.

Trump: “well they didn’t die from Covid.”

I'm here at my desktop with the last of my early morning pot of java, nuked in the microwave and sweetened. Dawdling a little before going out in the dispiriting heat -- groceries, probably, and maybe a stop at a coffee shop for a pastry.

The Killer Kittenz From Outer Space are doing well. Little Dagny in particular was dashing around after breakfast, playing with the wire Cat Dancer toy I bought for Arizona the red tabby many years ago and handed down to each cat since.

108 Persians are not Arabs, and much of Iran is ready to revolt. We do NOT want to see any of the civilian population harmed, only the military and those elements that support the dictatorial regime. That is exactly what Israel is doing.
For example, the main airport in Tehran was hit hard yesterday, but ONLY those buildings which were hangars for almost all of their remaining MiG 29’s and SU-24’s. The Israelis may also have taken out the last of their F-4’s and F-14’s. (And thus does the glorious Tomcat at long last pass completely out of operational history)

a better answer might be to avoid the protest area but driving cars into "hippies' isa favorite maga fantasy. rip heather heyer

They will "kill protesters dead". And the sheriff will make them deputies. And they will reach toward heaven in church Sunday Praising their Lord, the Donald.

All fun and games till they get their windows smashed out and drug out of the car by the crowd. DeSatan doesn't care about the protestors or the MAGATs.

This is inciting violence. As are groups of heavily armed, masked men with no identification trying to break your windows and kidnap you.

I have been a bit surprised to find that when any Egyptian natives speak of Sadat’s assassination, they universally take it for granted that those who killed him were not lone wolf terrorists at all, but instead were recruited by Egyptian high command to get rid of a leader they’d become sick of.
And then they pretended it was terrorism to the rest of the world. You can call this a conspiracy theory, but it’s accepted as unquestioned fact inside Egypt.

There are a lot of people who seem to have been waiting for this opportunity in some of these protest spots. I dunno if they want to mess with red towns where they're talking about how they have backhoes and buy lime by the half ton. Some of the blue cities in red states are also becoming magnets for counter protesters who are waiting for the left to commit violence. Sounds like FAFO Day more than anything else.

217 RAINY SATURDAY ... Just started making enough Whiskey Onions for Father's Day and July 4th ... Six pounds of sliced Vidalias, gradually flavored with Irish whiskey and caramelized -- which might take all day because they'll be in a crockpot rather than a stovetop pan ... These onions along with gorgonzola cheese will be two toppings offered for grilled bison burgers (pre-seasoned with Boursin cheese mixed into the raw patties) ... Will probably form the patties today, chill, use sous vide tomorrow (one hour at 125 degrees), reverse sear on the grill, offer Cooper cheese for melty yum, then serve ... Salad will be either spinach or broccoli (haven't decided yet) and dessert will be two types of cookies (both doughs were prepared yesterday, so just need baking) ... So glad I was organized earlier in the week, as today's rain may cause me to surrender to a nap after lunch ... Happy Father's Day to all the Dads.

The house is getting ready to hold a hearing with Neville Singham, billionaire based out of Shanghai, who is aligned with the CCP. He also happens to be the husband of Jodie Evans, co-founder of Code Pink.

He has been funding a lot of these "spontaneous" riots including the BLM/antifa crap. Ultimately, China is behind a lot of this shit and has been for years.

I hear there are plans to open two in this state, the closest about two hours' drive from me. When I take my road trip to Indiana, though, there's one on the Interstate just a little north of Birmingham, AL. I definitely plan to stop, and maybe buy some E0 gas.

257 Most foamboard insulation burns if you get it started hot enough. Common enough in buildings to skim coat foamboard with concrete as a 'skin' for buildings. Similar fire killed quite a few in UK years ago when an apartment building skin went up in flames.

258 Buc-ees is fascinating.

I'm convinced it's managed to make itself the female version of Harley Davidson. It's a destination to stop and shop for t-shirts.

And you'd better stop.

Life is pain (Princess Bride quote) but the quote should also mention joy like the the love of my wife, and my dogs and natural beauty.

I treat pain like a measuring cup. When the cup is full, I go do something else like apply ice or heat. Ice to dull the pain and heat to allow movement. Old fashioned word "stove up" is appropriate.

Watching a lot of old forgotten British TV shows on YouTube on a YT channel called 'Forgotten British TV shows' IIRC. 'Bulham' trilogy right now.

Looking at the No Kings map they’ve got a few dozen locations across Mexico into Guatemala, Honduras, and Costa Rica and even one protest planned in Bogota, Colombia.

Because Latin Americans protesting against American presidents who think they’re kings is apparently a thing now.

267 Have you heard of the Grenfell Tower fire in the UK? Some of the construction techniques that have been employed in foreign countries are scary.

I used to visit Dubai farily often and the place is full of crazy architecture. Kind of a calling card. But don't look to closely at some of the construction and definitely don't stay on the top floors.
Posted by: JackStraw at June 14, 2025 09:33 AM (viF8m)

Read quiet a bit about that fire and the material used. There was a very good documentary on the Smithsonian Channel about that fire, as well, and the material that they used....big hint, it was cheaper and replaced the original panels recommended in the original plans. Oh, and it was "Green". Lessons never learned.

272 "If Obama had made himself King Barack in 2009, they’d still be defending him as he ran the country into the dirt."

If I would survive the thug beating I'd take, I'd stand on a curb holding a billboard to cheer on the antifa/blm/no'mo kangs mob; a photo featuring fearless leader O'Barry's 4 mansions in 4 states, Maryland (DC, Iranian Advisor, Valerie Jarrett is sometimes resident) Massachusetts, Martha's Vineyard (dead chef *was* a resident) Illinois, Hyde Park (near Bill Ayers, "just some guy in the neighborhood") and yes, Hawaii, (Magnum PI beachfront house demolished) and new "Build(t) Back Better" using "Shovel Ready Jobs" by "Typical White Person(s)" construction crew, with border walls.

Decisions decisions...Maybe hold up the pic, "Mussolini" Messiah Barry uplifted nose pose? Looks "kingly" to me...and so cool.
