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:
5/28 – FortWorthMike requests prayers for his grandniece, Chloe, and her family, to find a kidney to transplant. Chloe is a toddler who has been on this prayer list before, and it has helped her. She was born with bad kidneys and had them removed soon after birth. She’s had multiple health issues, and is now getting daily dialysis at home. Her mother’s kidneys aren’t a match, and her father’s are a match, but are too large for her little body. Thanks for your prayers!
7/23 Update – Little Chloe is having a lot of bladder infections, as the medical team works to stretch her bladder (in preparation for receiving a kidney). There have been so many infections that her bladder may need to be removed. Please keep praying: for a kidney match, for her health, and for her worried family.

6/6 – Fox2! requests prayers for his niece-in-law, Courtney, who is expecting a son in August, but has had preterm labor for the last 3 weeks.
7/9 Update – The doctors will induce delivery on 7/13, if baby Waylon hasn’t decided to come on his own by then. Courtney is presenting warning signs of preeclampsia, so this is best for mother and baby. Please continue to include her in your prayers, and thank you.
7/15 Update – Baby Waylon arrived safely on 7/13. Mother and son are doing well, as is father and older sister.

7/2 – Jim Sunk New Dawn asks for prayers for more drivers at work. They’ve had bad luck with recent hires, and need responsible, detail-oriented people with solid work history. Jim is located near Galveston, TX.

7/2 – Prayers are needed for L, who has had a lifetime of mental problems. The Covid shutdown dealt him a severe blow and now he almost never emerges from his room. He may be suicidal. The hope is that medications can stabilize him.

7/2 – That Guy What Always Says Yeah Buddy asks for prayers for his wife’s health and the strength and fortitude for me to continue to be able to care for her.

7/2 – My Life Is Insanity could use prayers. Her mom passed away on 7/2. My Life Is Insanity had to spend this weekend at her own house, so she couldn’t be with her mom when she passed. Her son was with there, so mom/grandma wasn’t alone, but it’s killing My Life Is Insanity that she wasn’t with her when she died. She would appreciate prayers for her mom’s soul.

7/8 – TecumsehTea asks for prayers for her dearest friend, who came down with Covid and is very ill. She is almost 70 and severely immunocompromised. She did not vax and has made it thus far, but she traveled recently. She is taking ivermectin. The Lord holds her in His hand, and He’s in charge, but it doesn’t hurt to ask Him for healing.
7/19 Update – The friend is slowly improving with ivermectin. Her lungs remain clear, but she is still weak, in pain, and has headaches and fatigue and nausea. Even the meds for nausea made her gag and vomit! Thank you for your prayers.

7/9 – Prayers are needed for Lilibeth, who has had 2 recent surgeries for bladder cancer, but has not been able to start immunotherapy treatments due to a shortage of necessary drugs.

7/9 – Bear with asymmetrical balls asks for prayers. His bloodwork is showing reduced kidney function, and he’s feeling less than well. He is slowly working the problem with the doctor.

7/12 – My Pimp Shot My Dealer asked for prayers for T and her family. T is a 19 year old who hung herself, but it was not a clean kill, and she is in the ICU with the gravest of anoxic brain injuries. They are trying a salvage resuscitation to see if she will be eligible for organ donation. She was a very sweet young lady, another victim of pedo rape at a very young age, and lived the rest of her short life broken.

7/15 – Chi-Town Jerry requests prayers for his wife, who is in the hospital again with AFIB. Although she got back to regular rhythm in the ER, her kidney numbers concerned them and they are keeping her overnight on IV. Prayers are appreciated.

7/16 – ellipse (… asked for prayers for a work friend (of 18 years) and fantastic young lady named Lauren, who has been sick and away from work for 3 months.
7/19 Update - Lauren has Bell’s Palsy. She still needs prayers. … sends her appreciation for those who have already prayed, or even just sent vibes if that’s your thing.

7/18 – Diogenes asks for prayers for his godson, who just lost his 13-year-old son to a seizure/stroke. The boy had autism and began suffering from a series of strokes over the last few weeks.

7/18 – jewells45 could use some prayers, as she has been sick. Her daughter is in pain and struggling, too, after injuring her leg.

7/18 – Emmie asked for prayers for God’s guidance and His will do be done regarding the sale of their house.

Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update.


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.

30 7/19 Update - Lauren has Bell's Palsy. She still needs prayers. … sends her appreciation for those who have already prayed, or even just sent vibes if that's your thing.

Good vibes sent. I learned first hand about Bell's Palsy as I had it happen to me back on January 11th of this year. Freaked me out at the time and thankfully I came on here asking for advice and people told me to get my ass to the ER.

Almost 7 months later and I have about 80% function back of my right eye and mouth. No more drooping and I can closed mouth smile. Open mouth smile not there yet as right side lower lip still will not work properly. And right eye, eyelid and eyebrow still not functioning 100% but it's slowly getting better.

So here's a speedy, full recovery for Lauren.

On a personal note, my hospital stay also diagnosed me Type 2 diabetic and high blood pressure. Over past 7 months, my blood glucose is now completely under control, blood pressure down to safe levels and have dropped from 350lbs to 295lbs with 2000 calorie diet. Goal is to continue the ~10lb/month pace and be back to 200lbs by this time next year.

And if anyone doesn't realize it yet, yeah, the end result of all our "money" being sent over there is more death. On both sides. And it isn't going to change the outcome, it's just going to prolong the inevitable.

46 Continued from tech thread.

The revelations that the Feds are behind all the insurrections, is also important because it means that the next time will be for real. I'm sure a lot of folks are looking at the J6 martyrs and thinking that if you're going to jail anyway, you may as well have some fun in the process.

Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at July 30, 2022 08:39 AM (llXky)

I'm coming around to the idea that, far from being surprised and outraged by any such fedsurrection/coup shenanigans, Congress/uniparty is integral to the process. They are hand in glove.

Schumer telegraphed it. They act all outraged for the cameras. They write sternly worded letters. They conduct investigations, promising to get to the bottom of it all, when all the investigations and hearings are are propaganda circuses and cover ups.

If you are a made man, you can lie to Congress with impunity. See Brennan and Comey. If you threaten to upend the table, no tool is spared in your destruction.

Mitchell did a poll last week showing Whitmer up on Dixon by 51-40, which is really awful for an incumbent against someone with such low name ID.

She seems like a good choice - good with interviews, blows up the whole female empowerment nonsense and she's got DeVos money behind her.

Tell me I am wrong that the DoJ/FBI/Any Federal Agency is just an enforcement arm of Congress in their desire to obtain, retain, and maintain power over you. That the reason nothing is ever done - feigned outrage and sternly worded letters notwithstanding - is because it is by design.

Sure, they need you to believe in the facade of representative government. But that is really all it is, at this point. And perhaps that has been that way longer than I have realized it.

Posted by: grammie winger at July 30, 2022 08:56 AM

Thanks, grammie winger. Sorry that you went through it as well. It has not been fun, as you know from experience with it. From biting my lip constantly while trying to eat, to my eye watering all the time, to superficial things like not wanting to smile in public, because my mouth does not work properly.

The Huber timepiece, which sold to an anonymous bidder, shows a swastika and has the initials AH engraved on it.

Jewish leaders condemned the auction ahead of the sale at Alexander Historical Auctions in Maryland.

The fraud was pretty blatant but it was also highly limited. Biden and James were at the top of the ticket, so cranking out fake ballots with only two names filled in is a lot easier than going through what they will need this time.

Another difference is that the polling is looking really bad for Dems right now. Hard to steal a wave election. If you go crazy, you'll end up with more ballots than people.

Also, the GOP is onto the trick and I'm told they have a small army of poll watchers who know the rules and will be recording every infraction.

Finally, the GOP legislative leadership this time around will be more confrontational and less willing to just go along to get along.

I had the same issues with not sleeping well a few years back. I am not sure if it was weight related, but I was waking up regularly every 2 hours needing to use the bathroom. This went on for months. I thought I had kidney or gall bladder issues or something. I kept fiddling with my pillows to try to get into a comfortable position to sleep and eventually I found one. But likely there was a weight aspect to it, as my weight gain was probably causing internal problems with pressure on my bladder or something.

I stupidly used to think that I was a "healthy" fat person. I was still playing softball and walleyball well even when at 275lbs. But I ballooned up to 325 and then eventually 350 over the past 5-6 years or so. Losing weight has improved lots of aspects of my life quality. Here's to you getting to your weight loss goal as well!

Yep, that is what I was worried about as well. And why people here that night were telling me to get my butt to the ER to confirm that it is only Bell's Palsy and not a stroke. Given my high blood glucose and seriously high blood pressure (200/something) at the time, everyone in the ER was worried it could be a stroke. But I was having no other signs of it other than the Bell's Palsy. All tests the next day showed I was otherwise healthy.

The Bell's Palsy ended up being a weird blessing in disguise. Because I don't get on this long-term meal plan to lose weight like this without that wake-up call.

Another wake-up call was seeing an actual stroke patient wheeled into the ER in the bed next to me that night. Heartbreaking to hear and see what he went through. Made me realize I had nothing to complain about and better get my health back on track.

124 I did not have any numbers on the one ticket which I bought for the lottery. (Hangs head in shame). I am thankful that I was not the sole winner of the big prize (and yes, I understand if I never buy a lottery ticket again I will not have to worry about winning a big prize. ) because that person's life will not be uncomplicated. I hope that in IL you don't have to divulge your identity. You do in NJ although someone who won sued over that so maybe that's not now the case.

126 Twenty-eight female inmates at an Indiana jail are suing a Clark County jail guard for selling the keys to their cells to male inmates, resulting in a "night of terror," according to two lawsuits.
Posted by: mustbequantum at July 30, 2022 09:17 AM (MIKMs)

The good news is though, only about 3-4 of the 28 inmates were likely to have been framed by corrupt cops, and railroaded by unethical prosecutors. Most of the rest won't be innocent of the crimes for which they were convicted... and of those, probably only about half are non-violent drug offenders who were convicted of offenses that aren't crimes in other states.

127 Another difference is that the polling is looking really bad for Dems right now. Hard to steal a wave election. If you go crazy, you'll end up with more ballots than people.

Also, the GOP is onto the trick and I'm told they have a small army of poll watchers who know the rules and will be recording every infraction.

Finally, the GOP legislative leadership this time around will be more confrontational and less willing to just go along to get along.


Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at July 30, 2022 09:13 AM

I hope you're right, but I will believe it when I see it. The GOP and the right are always talking about enforcing voting laws and regulations and then when the time comes, they allow the left to push them around and get away with blatant fraud with zero consequences. So we'll see.

128 99 There is no "healthy fat" weight in my experience. As I've gotten older I've noticed even 10lbs affects my quality of life. Sleep. Joints. Energy level. I am 25lbs overweight right now but started at 40lbs over a month ago. Heading for 190.

It's trite, but setting a goal helps. Fiancee and I have a long-postponed (due to covid) vacation coming up. We want photos that we're going to be happy to look at, so both of us are working hard getting the weight down.

129 I think the Russians would like to take Odessa. If they can seal off Ukraine from the Black Sea, the war's over.

Do they have the offensive punch to do it? I don't know. I think they are also feinting at Kiev again.
Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at July 30, 2022 09:21 AM (llXky)

From the few scraps of info I can glean, it looks like the Russians haven't made a territorial gain anywhere in a month now. They've hunkered down into defensive positions. And the neutralization of their Black Sea Fleet pretty much killed any chances of going for Odessa.

I'm pretty much resigned to things falling apart, but I do recognize that circumstances are changing. The GOPe squishes are going away and the new generation is pretty pissed about how things are.

Legislatures have a lot more power than they use, and if a critical mass of a GOP majority wants to, they can handcuff both governors and presidents.

The House could shut Biden down simply by breaking the budget up into departmental bills, which they used to do. They could discipline the DOJ by refusing to fund it.

It will be interesting to see how the primary goes in Michigan because of the 2 GOP reps who voted to impeach Trump, one got redistricted and is retiring and the other has a Trump-endorsed challenger.

That's not inconsistent with my theory, though. The Russians may be building up for an offensive and simply wearing down the Ukrainians in anticipation of it. That's what I would do.

Things will be much changed from the 2016 Congress, when Trump first took the office. Note that 40 of the Uniparty house "republicans" quit before he 2018 election in order to give the House to Nancy Pelosi, leaving only 10 to vote for impeachment. And now all but 1 or 2 (maybe) of those 10 will be gone. So that's 50 fake "Republicans" eliminated from the House over 6 years.

Funny story, to me, anyway, about later in life marriage:

A few years ago, Valentines day, I took my wife to Red Lobster, as it was where I took her on our first date. (don't judge me!)

We're sitting there, very obviously of the 29 year old crowd, and, this gal looked at my wife and I, and asked, "Oh, and how long have you two been married?"

The look on her face when I looked at her and said, "6 years" was priceless, as it was obvious she thought we had a few more years under our belt.

After about a month of people screaming how "Putin's game had failed!!1!" I looked at the situation and thought otherwise.

Putin's strategy made sense to me. Make a bold attempt to win the game in one throw, but have a grinding fallback plan knowing that the world has a short attention span and you have the ability to cut off Western Europe's energy supply.

BTW, how many anti-Putin politicians are now out of office? Italy's PM, UK's PM, Macron lost his parliamentary majority...

190 Female Austrian doctor who faced death threats over heavily promoting C-19 vaxx suicides in her office; cops refuse to release suicide note/s.

So did she do it out of fear/stress or did she realize she was a merchant of death and disability and did it out of guilt??

BTW, the news chyron here reporting it left out the suicide part, falsely implying that maybe it was murder and the cops hadn't laid charges yet.

193 A good place to follow the developments of the Ukraine war is Military Summary Channel on youtube. He does as good a job as can be expected, using both Western and Russian sourced maps and collaborating sources as much as possible. In a way it's dull to follow, because day-to-day the events aren't that exciting. Progress for the Russians is constant but generally slow, they come up to a Ukrainian defensive line, shell the sh*t out of it for a few days then send in infantry once it's softened up enough. Then it's on to the next Ukrainian defensive line.

I like the channel because I feel like I get a much better handle on what's going on, since Western media is so unreliable.

196 It's largely a siege war, as near as I can tell. Russia is staying on the outskirts of large areas rather than attack with meat-grinding tactics. Instead they shell and shell and shell and maintain fire-control over roadways and rail lines until Ukraine withdraws from areas or surrenders. In this way, Russia limits casualties and limits the destruction of infrastructure.

Probably the most disconcerting thing about the Ukraine conflict isn't actually the war.

What concerns me is the financial war. The proposed BRICS reserve currency is gonna have permanent effects on us going forward, IMO. This is easily overcome by repatriating manufacturing, but there are too many multi-national corporations in the pockets of our politicians to convince me they will abandon their cheap Chinese slave labor addiction easily.

213 I seem to recall a story that surfaced some number of years ago about a newly elected representative who was shocked to find out his primary responsibility was fundraising for the party. Not legislation. He'd be told how to vote when the time came. And paid accordingly. He served out his term and did not run again.

If I'm remembering correctly and the story is true and not a movie plot then I'd say the political system itself is a bigger issue than who gets selected to serve in congress. IMO that issue isn't going to be resolved by "voting" because you're not really affecting the political machine itself. Only the cogs in it. Cogs BTW that get a huge payoff for their votes.

The only part of that story that surprises me is that someone made it all the way into that office without knowing that beforehand. Congress abdicated all of its authority to the bureaucracy and judiciary years (decades) ago. That's why none of them actually read the bills they pass; that's why it doesn't matter if they pass unconstitutional stuff. Who care? The Courts will clean it up if there's a problem, the bureaucrats will continue to do what they do no matter what.

Pelosi's only real power is that she's the focus for the money flow from the Silicon Valley oligarchs, and she doles it out to those who vote the way she tells them to. And she in turn only does what the Oligarchs tell her to do.

When the lease came up for an abortion mill in Lansing, one of the parishes approached the property owner and asked to buy it outright. The price was right, and so the parish bought the property and then declined to renew the lease, and the abortionists were evicted.

Whitmer and her staff thought this was a sick burn, but in fact it is monumentally tone-deaf and she's going to get endless blowback on it. I don't care how pro-choice you are, cutting aid to pregnant poor women is the epitome of being hard-hearted. When Dems had actual political instincts, they accused Republicans of doing this.

If Dixon wins the nom, she's going to constantly talk about the cruelty of Whitmer telling poor women to go kill their babies. That's going to crush the liberal soccer mom vote.

Yeah, it was my old parish, Resurrection which did it.

That's how you win.

Michigan has a ballot issue in November that will legalize all forms of abortion up to birth, remove all parental notifications AND provide taxpayer funding AND remove conscience provisions so that Catholic hospitals can be forced to perform them.

I have no idea what made these people think that would do anything other than cause a holy war, but that's what they've done.

Another reason I see a red wave in Michigan building.

I theorize that Pelosi intends to meet with the microchip exec's in Taiwan to bring home the goods needed to seed their operations here in the states. China cannot allow that to happen. It could completely unwind their tight dark grip on the nations. This does not imply she is anything but a wicked, corrupt despicable human.

I doubt that's the plan. From what I understand, it's extremely difficult to transport and reinstall that equipment in the best of circumstances, much less in a shooting war. More likely, the Taiwanese would destroy the equipment rather than let the PRC get it.

To all of the people having doubts about Trump, or hoping he doesn't run remember, just his mere PRESENCE in the WH stops 99% of the above nonsense.

341 333 I doubt that's the plan. From what I understand, it's extremely difficult to transport and reinstall that equipment in the best of circumstances, much less in a shooting war. More likely, the Taiwanese would destroy the equipment rather than let the PRC get it.

I agree Archimedes, but by "bring home the goods", I do not mean physical equipment. I mean the digital plans and the code. The Taiwanese may or may not agree, but Pelosi does what Pelosi does and she doesn't take no for an answer.

344 M husband's grandmothers family has been here the longest and plenty on tintypes were found. It was fun, and broke up the work of loading the box truck. My house feels less like a warehouse ;-D

345 Sorry, but I find it very hard to believe that Pelosi would invest her time in any activity that didn't further enrich Pelosi.

347 I'd be a bit more concerned if Xi was the one mouthing off about war.

348 Ya, they would shorten some songs to play them on AM radio. I remember I had a few 8-tracs that would have 1 long song on 2 tracs. The song would play for a bit, then the volume would go down and then change trac, and then the volume would come back up and finish the song. That was bogus, man.

That was done to enable mass duping of the tapes. A friend had an 8-track recorder, which I used a couple of times, and you could record right through the track change, and just get a fractional-second dropout.

Ah, I see. In that case, perhaps.

355 So did she do it out of fear/stress or did she realize she was a merchant of death and disability and did it out of guilt??

BTW, the news chyron here reporting it left out the suicide part, falsely implying that maybe it was murder and the cops hadn't laid charges yet.

356 From that article about LPD ships.

What Is A Well Deck Vessel?
Having a ‘Well Deck’ refers to a sturdy bulwark that protects and protects the area occupied by the sides of the vessel, or an exposed recess extending at least one third (15mm) further than where the vessel stood before. Ships with well decks are required to have explicit drainage requirements.

Did Kamala write this?
Also why does the article intermingle Document Printing protocols with Navy ships?

360 The mug is stupid, one of the instances is after a "c" and most of them are where ei sounds like long "a". Only 1-2 are actually exceptions to the rule.
