The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

IMG_1994.JPG

[I can neither confirm nor deny that the coffee drinker above is The Fabulous]


Good morning boys and girls and everything in between. Before we enter the Prayer Revival, just a few house keeping matters to go over. (Rulz for those of you in Watertown)

1) This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate. Saying a couple of prayers certainly can't hurt either.
2) On that note. Be kind. Be nice.
3) No running with sharp objects. No, don't even ask.
4) Have a great weekend!

AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List

Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update.

Prayer Requests:

7/30 – David sent an update on his wife, Susan, who we have been praying for as she is treated for cancer. Susan is still doing well and her numbers are headed in the right direction, but they are still having issues with the side effects of the chemotherapy. It is manageable, but they have to increase the number of office visits for additional treatments. Some days are really good right now, but others are only bearable with the Lord’s grace. They are so grateful for the prayers on their behalf.
8/26 Update – Susan’s cough has gotten so bad that they did X-rays on her chest. It might be pneumonia. She is in the hospital. Her sodium and blood pressure are low and she is not eating much now. They are trying to turn this around and ask for everyone’s prayers.
9/2 Update – Susan is back in the ICU. She either has an infection or the cancer has spread to her lungs. Either way, thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for Susan and please continue them.
9/3 Update – Thank you to everyone for their thoughts and prayers for Susan. They are expecting her to pass into the hands of the Lord in the next day or so. Please pray for them.
9/21 Update – David sends his thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers for Susan. She did pass away on 9/4, surrounded by family and friends.

8/30 – SPinRH_F-16 requested prayers for classmate “D.B.”, who has ALS. Please pray that he remains as comfortable as possible and for support for his family as they see him through this. Thank you in advance for your earnest prayers.

9/2 – Bulg asked for prayers for purpose in his life.

9/4 – bluebell sent an update on grammie winger. Grammie was diagnosed with epilepsy now. And she is back in the hospital. They would love prayers for comfort and peace for her.

9/10 – Annie’s Stew asks for prayers for her husband as he recovers from knee surgery.

9/10 – D asked for prayers for the memory of 9/11. May the Lord comfort people in the grief, and may it bring people closer to God.

9/12 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for the W family for comfort and strength as they grieve. The deceased was a sweet 92 year old, despite some big tragedies in her life.

9/15 – Sal asked for prayers as wildfires are out of control in the north of the area and threatening the county seat. They are evacuating part of the town. Sal is not in any danger.

9/17 – Teresa in Fort Worth sent an update with good news and bad news. The bad news is that she has a 9mm mass on her lunch, which means the cancer has metastasized outside of her liver. The pump is keeping the cancer in her liver at bay for now. The good news is that they can zap the nodule out of her lung and will watch for if any more nodules appear. As long as this is the only one, the radiation should suffice. She meets with a radiation oncologist on 9/25.

9/18 – Random Dave posted an update to his job progress. He is still looking for FT work, but has accepted a substitute teacher position (more flexibility for interviews, some income to slow the bleeding). He asks for prayers that the interview results he is waiting on will get back to him soon, especially if one is the “right job”. If any are “not the right job”, they would fall away soon and get back to him, and that if all of them are “not the right job”, the ‘right job” would show itself aggressively, so he doesn’t miss it! He also thanks the Horde and the folks at church for their prayers and support.

9/18 – Tonypete asked for prayers for #1 son. He has something going on which is, as yet, undiagnosed. He is under care now, so that is a positive step. Prayers also for his wife and daughter #2. Mom is a spoiled princess who consistently chooses the worst path of action regarding #2.

9/18 – Brother Tim posted that he has been overnight in his car more than indoors. He is convinced that his retirement/resignation was a severe error, a result of fatigue and depression. He asks for prayers.

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.

'mornining. Prayers up.

On my 2nd cuppa already. MegaRoy woke me up early, he's really aging out quickly these days. Do cats age like dogs, about seven years for every 12 calendar months? Big dogs somewhat faster? MegaRoy is a Sep 2011 baby, which makes him 105 this month. And he's a really large kitty too. Love that monster footed long tailed little 'm' moron cat.

And how did you know her ? At work or through organizations in the community?

I was talking to a lady who works getting things together at the supermarket for home delivery to folks. In the past two weeks her father died, preceding by his brother by a month. She was understandably devastated, but got some comfort that at the funeral home the place was filled to overflowing . She apologized and thanked the people who were parking cars and one of them said, "We are always glad when people are remembered and a crowd shows up to recall and honor them ."

We're hoping he has a few more years in him as he is a 100% indoor cat. I like 75 a lot better than 105. He spends most of his day in Junior-ette's room hanging out with her. He comes downstairs for a crunchy snack and to sit on the porch for a bit, then heads back up tohis window to chill, nap, and guard his little human.

We've been in a severe drought all year with reservoir levels at historic lows. There was speculation that it would affect the aspen change, That may have been a factor in what seems like a more rapid transition, compared to other years.

66 Mrs Cop and I have just returned from Italy after a 10 day pilgrimage. It was way cool to trod the ground where saints walked, but we're exhausted.

Lots of spiritual experiences. As a lay brother of the Order of Preachers (i.e., the Domincans), it was a great blessing to be able to celebrate Mass at the shrines of St. Catherine of Siena and St. Pier Frassati. One of the neatest experiences was being able to celebrate Mass inside the very church where St. Anthony of Padua had been pastor. Also, when we were celebrating Mass at one of the side chapels at the Basilica of St. Maria Maggiore, some tourists and a habited sister popped-in to receive Communion with us.

Shout-outs to bar-tenders Gianluc and Gianmarco for the libations, but we're happy to be home.

We did a tour bus with one of our former pastors, Father John. Fr. John was the common link. There were 42 on our bus.

Our bus driver, Luigi, was able to maneuver that big bus like a sports car: an extremely skilled driver. However, at one point when driving to into Rome, a car cut-off the bus; Luigi started shouting and waving his hands -- the tour guide just said, "I don't think I can translate this for you." LOL.

84 Speaking of BBC TV, I have the BritBox add-on to my Prime Video account. There are a lot of police procedurals series to watch. Lots of girl bosses in the higher ranking positions of the police forces, of course.

I recently completed series one of 'Sherwood.' It's very good with only a small amount of woke shit. The police detective in charge of the investigation is, surprisingly, a white male, as is his investigative partner. And he's married to -- get this -- a white woman. In fact, all the couples in the show are married to same-race partners.

Last night, I started series two. My goodness. It's a complete reversal as woke themes are flying everywhere.

I've been watching a recording of the Beatification ceremonies of (now) Blessed Archbp. Fulton Sheen. The joy is palpable, and a number of the commentators mentioned that Bl. Sheen was a staunch patriot of the U.S.

He was a fierce anti-Communist, and I just have a feeling that the timing of Sheen's beatification is providential. It certainly marks the defeat of the liberals within the Church that tried to prevent the beatification.

A spare router gives me Internet to one iMac. No Wi-Fi. That router was built in 2011. To use my iPhone without Wi-Fi, I have to walk to a nearby ridge with line of sight to a cell tower.

My system is old enough so that only e-Bay and Amazon sells a "renewed" router that work seamlessly. And a router I want has 16% 1-star reviews on Amazon.

Do not want to upgrade. But I have a cunning plan.

I also have no doubt that Bl. Fulton Sheen is praying for America. God works in His time, but I have a feeling that the beatification marks an inflection point within the Catholic Church.

Cardinal Burke mentioned that he sees many young seminarians reading Sheen's books. The newest generation of priests and seminarians are much more orthodox in their theology, and less accepting of the Liberal experiment within the Church.

Coming from you, that's pretty rich. But I suspect that you're incapable of seeing the irony.

But the Leftists are no longer arguing about tax policy and the best way to better the most lives. Now the Left wants to kill babies and toddlers, cut off healthy sex organs of mentally-ill teenagers, and sexually abuse children in their formative years. Oh, I nearly forgot, you guys want to kill all the Jews, too.

This is a spiritual battle. The sooner that you recognize that you are following the Prince of Lies and repent, the better it will be for your immortal soul.

149 Nearly 50% are on the government teat, so will always vote for more. That is why our elections are so close. Vote like the wind, brothers and sisters.

150 I've tried every suggestion on Amazon's page, and actually got a human on the phone as well, but I'm still getting about 10-20% of the speed off the extenders as I'm getting from the one hard wired device off of the base.

That's going to happen the further away, and the number of walls/floors, the signal has to penetrate.

If you have a very large house it's sometimes better to run a cable to another base station at the other end of the house or to another floor and use a base station there to create another mesh.

You could try using a different broadcast channel if you have a lot of nearby neighbors with their own WiFi.

Additionally, moving up to Wi-Fi 7 will give you a lot more signal, and not a lot of people are using it yet, so the 6Ghz band is still pretty open in most neighborhoods. That wouldn't be a cheap upgrade if none of your devices can use Wi-Fi 7, though.

154 I’m sitting here on a small island about 20 nm ESE of JackStraw. NE wind 25-30 kts, gusts to 50. The tops of the docks are under water with harbor chop breaking over them.
But Mrs. Red and I are dry and cozy. We ate lobster last night overlooking the harbor.
Life is good!

159 You make a very good point. Lefties are motivated by greed. Some want more power over others, but all Lefties feel that they are owed more money -- despite doing nothing to earn it.

producers vs. seducers
To actually get up and go to work is one of the greatest services to fellow Man. To actually make a product or service that allows us to exchange ideas that turn into a (hopefully) better life for both is unique to the Free Market.

Lefties denigrate work's value in helping forge an emotionally-stable person. As a police officer, I saw the destructive effects of welfare upon the human psyche. Many of the recipients seem to internalize the idea that they have no worth and can never be successful.

They don't respect themselves, so why should we expect them to respects others?

My lovely wife and I watch quite a few of the British shows. Especially the police procedurals. We’ve been watching for years. But these past couple of years just about every show is beyond woke. I understand that the BBC requires wokeness be put into every show.

Well said. And while repentance is always possible, most of them have made their choice and are faithful and willing servant of darkness - like Talerico and his supporters. (One of Talarico’s ministers and “spiritual advisors” was caught on tape yesterday saying that he didn’t believe in all that Resurrection or Virgin Birth stuff)

AH Lloyd said a few days ago that the hard Left is now in the Bonzai Charge stage of their movement. They’re going to get their way or die trying, and they’ll kill as many of as they can until they’re defeated.

I’ve been told by the media including a lot of “conservative” media,that nobody under 70 can afford to buy a home. Because Trump of course.
