Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

9 9 23 c0ffee.jpg


***


Good Morning all. Before we get going let us take care of a couple of things......

1) This is an open thread. So feel free to opine, bloviate and/or lurk throughout.
2) Be nice to one another. Even trolls and Mary Cloggenstein need a "friend".
3) Please tie your shoes before running with sharp objects. Maybe even a double knot.
4) Have an enjoyable 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:

8/4 – San Franpsycho updated the Horde on his buddy Paul’s medical status. So far, all treatments are ineffective, and his tumor remains inoperable.
8/19 Update – Paul’s drug trial starts on 8/21. Hopefully any side effects are mild.
8/30 Update – Paul went to the ER. Prayers needed, please.

8/5 – Screaming in digital heard that her sister-in-law’s mother is in ER with breathing problems. Prayers are appreciated.
8/26 Update – The breathing problems were RSV, and she has recovered. Her hubby also got it, and he is recovering.

8/12 – Hrothgar asked for prayers for Gabriella, a lovely young lady with great promise, who was transferred from the hospital in Puerto Rico to one in Tampa to get advanced treatment for a very aggressive cancer. This past week showed this new treatment seems to be extremely effective and she has made a remarkable recovery. She is not out of the woods yet and still needs prayer support, but her outlook has improved so much that the hospital staff were celebrating it!

8/12 – Mk Y asked for prayers for the family and 3 year old son of Logan, his nephew, who was killed in a motorcycle accident.

8/12 – Moon_over_vermont received a diagnosis of stage 4 cancer in June. It is a type of cancer that typically responds to treatment, but it’s everywhere. The second chemo started this week. If his/her comments ever made you smile or you thought they were insightful, or if you can spare a passing thought or prayer, it would be appreciated.
8/19 Update – Thank you to everybody who replied to the prayer request last Saturday. So far the doctors are optimistic. There is a possibility that surgery may not be needed, but it will still be a long treatment.

8/12 - Tuna sends thanks for all the prayers after the death of her husband last month. She knows they were instrumental in being able to find a little peace of mind.

8/12 – Oddbob sent out an emergency prayer request for his 4 month old granddaughter. She had some sort of seizure on 8/11. They took her to the ER and they did a bunch of tests and found nothing. Then it happened again on 8/12, so they went back to the ER.
8/26 Update – Oddbob’s granddaughter has had more seizures and was admitted to the hospital over the weekend.
9/2 Update – Oddbob’s granddaughter was released from the hospital. Since then, she has had only one seizure so it seems like the meds and keto diet are working. The docs say she might grow out of it in a few years but of course can’t promise anything. If not, she and her parents are in for a lifelong process of monitoring, controlling, and coping. He thanks everyone for their prayers and concern.

8/16 – P asked for prayers for her nephew R, out east. He suffers from Chiari malformation – his brain doesn’t quite fit in his skull, so part of it protrudes from the base. He has suffered all his life with migraines and dizziness, which makes it nearly impossible to keep a job. A neurosurgical specialist will operate on him on 8/21. Please pray that the operation is successful, and he will be able to live a much more normal life.
8/25 Update – The operation was successful, so far. He no longer has headaches and nausea. But he cannot yet bend, twist, or lift anything, so he doesn’t know if that will trigger the symptoms again. Please keep praying for him and his wife, who is providing all basic body care now.

8/19 Eromero requested prayers for his friend Lloyd as he transfers from ortho rehab to assisted living. He is having some confusion and needs clarity of mind. Lloyd’s wife, and Mr. and Mrs. Eromero could also use prayers as they try to provide care.

8/19 – Coelacanth asks for continued prayers. There are problems with his son Cam. Cam has been concealing many things for many years and has been lying to his family. His mother is heartbroken.
8/24 Update – Cam is still suffering with his significant health issues, and his mental state is unstable. He is making decisions based on feelings, and guided by bad advice, will not consider his parents’ cautions.

8/19 – Sock Monkey could use prayers for his wife’s younger brother and his family. They lost everything in the Gray fire, west of Spokane. So far Sock Monkey is still at home, about 4 miles from the fire evacuation area.

8/19 – Free Tibet has a biopsy coming up and asks for prayers for a good outcome. He says it’s been a long two years.
9/2 Update – The biopsy showed it was malignant, however the resulting surgery is said to have removed it all. Thanks to all for the prayerful support.

8/23 – A concern was brought up in the comments that applies to many churches nowadays. Prayers are needed for churches (members and leaders) to remain faithful to the Bible. Some congregations are resigning from church denominations that have chosen to teach something other than Biblical Christianity. Some people are having to separate from their church homes, due to the false teaching occurring. Please pray for people to have the knowledge and strength to remain faithful to the Word.

8/23 – Tonypete asked for prayers for Miss R, which is having a procedure done. She sometimes has very poor reactions to them, so it’s a bit worrying.

8/26 – Tecumseh Tea requested prayers for herself and her husband. They are going through a difficult time in their marriage. They are committed and will see it through, but ask for prayers that God will heal their marriage and help them each see what needs to change.

8/26 – Jewells45 posted that she could use prayers. Her last round of chemo was tough on her.

8/26 – Dash my Lace Wings asked for continued prayers. Her husband is still sober but needs to develop some interests to keep his mind and body busy – something that will give him joy and purpose in life.

8/26 – Farmer Bob provided an update. Mrs. Bob came for a weeklong visit, but she only stayed a day. She said reconciliation was too much work, and that she was feeling too free and unburdened without him and the kids, and so she left without saying goodbye to the girls. She has been posting party pictures to Facebook that the girls are seeing, which is hurting them. And she has served Farmer Bob with divorce papers. On the bright side, he has lost 115 pounds, started flight school, and most importantly, is closer to God and his girls than ever.

8/26 – Fox2! requested prayers for an old friend, T, who lost her husband unexpectedly. She is not amused by all the contradictory information and direction she is getting from her husband’s employer, insurance, and soon to begin adventures with the local probate court. And then she had to put her horse down. Prayers are greatly appreciated.

8/26 –Don Draper said his mother is expected to pass this week. Prayers, good wishes and thoughts are again requested, this time for her soul to have a safe journey. Thanks to all who gave prayers before.

8/27 – ghbucky asked for prayers for his oldest brother’s wife (both in their 80s and very dear to him) has been hospitalized and intubated due to pneumonia, likely due to covid. This means she cannot have visitors and his brother is under quarantine. She is very feeble and has been dealing with circulatory issues. Ghbucky fears the worst.

8/28 – Fenelon Spoke is concerned for a friend of a friend named Mike (age 39) who had major gastric surgery. He is now on a breathing apparatus because he wasn’t doing well. The nurses are on strike, so the patients are not getting the care they need. Prayers are appreciated.

8/29 – Swodog asked for prayers as the hurricane was headed toward his house. The family is all safely inland, but their home may be washed away.

8/29 – Mpfs requested prayers for healing of his tooth, which turned out to be a fistula, and very painful. Oral surgery is scheduled.

8/30 – Debby Doberman Schultz asked for prayers. Her husband passed away on 8/30, with her sitting beside him, holding his hand. The kids had been in and out, but the end was like the beginning - just the two of them. As painful as it was, she wouldn’t have it any other way. She is so gratified that he is relieved of his suffering.

9/2 – Skip shared his concerns about his aunt and uncle, who are moving to a retirement community soon. His uncle is not doing well, mentally or physically. Skip hopes for more peace for them.

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 email 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 email it to her. 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.


Thank you Annie for providing a platform for prayers.

I no longer wear shoes with laces. They always come undone and there's a considerable risk to my retying them now that I'm 29.

Well.. this weekend started off with a bang yesterday. First my CT scan wasn't the best of news. They found another spot on my upper left lung about 6 mm big. The rest of the nodes no change, a few very small ones showing up in both lower lungs. She wants to keep an eye on the big one. Ordered a PET scan. I get home and look at the paperwork. Scheduled for November 29! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???

16 Suns coming up now so I went outside to survey the realm. Lotsa tree debris, everyone's trash and recycling bins have been redistributed. The metal lawn chairs and the table that were under the tree at the corner of the house were relocated too. Oh. And the temps will be in the low 80's next week, with possibly a litter more rain. I think Fall may have arrived.

Please pray that the afflicted be healed and the torn relationships brought about by the affliction be repaired.

Enrich these lives with compassion and love, dear Lord, that they may one day smile again.

37 Here's something to tickle your funny bones. Or not. On the Virginia Peninsula, where' I'm at, the PET scans are mobile, due to ... wait for it... government decree. There's two that range around, up and down, all around town. So when you schedule PET scans, they ask you which is more important, proximity or date?

For my two, they parked it behind the Food Lion. Adds a certain, oh I don't know, atmosphere, to having to skulk around a parking lot at 0700 for this vital health testing.

43 I think this woman is standing in the need of prayer for wisdom. A letter from the "NY Post":

I'm voting for Biden for. Re-election. In spite of his age because I want a president who's honest, not a pathological liar: a statesman, not a con man.

One who's empathetic, not narcissistic; who will test women with respect, not ridicule them.

I don't understand why any American would even consider voting for that democracy- hating, dictator- loving Donald Trump, whose only goal appears to be crowning himself President for life.

Post covid infection my wife had some lesions in her bronchial tract that were about 9 mm long. So she had an CAT scan months later and they were down to about 7 mm. Then the lockouts and hysteria began and we stayed away from hospitals for more then a year. Latest scan shows only scar tissue.

Anyway, the point is, when they take their time in scheduling the next test, it's usually a good sign.

Similar situation here. Prayers requested for the family and loved ones of a coworker (Jeff) who passed away a few days ago.

I recently resurrected and cleaned up a misting attachment for a hose and put it in the garden next to the fountain. We've had very hot, dry weather this summer and this will help the hummingbirds and dragonflies.

Our firebushes are in full bloom and the number and variety of bees visiting are amazing. The hum of them flitting around the flowers is audible. So the water helps them too.

64 Feel Good story about Jimmy Buffett.

“For me, it’s the tying to Jimmy, the fact that it’s something that he’s had in his own personal collection as well. It just helps somebody get a little bit closer to him,” said Clayton Harris from El Dorado, Arkansas. Park Officials say Buffett’s camp contacted the Battleship Park Foundation in 2022 about donating the planes anonymously. The planes shipped in pieces and reassembled at the Medal of Honor Pavillion. They were publicly displayed while the donor remained private. It was a tough secret to keep.

Well, he's not taking it well and went off on foot (with his cane) in 113 degree weather. Got into a car with 3 strangers, withdrew $450 from the bank. We don't know the whole story yet but thankfully someone called his wife late last night and said he had BIL with him and she needed to come and pick him up.

And please deliver us from these horrible communists.
In Jesus' name.

73 29 So if a safe has a backdoor PIN whats the odds it has a backdoor LOCKOUT?

Posted by: rhennigantx at September 09, 2023 07:55 AM (BRHaw)


An intentionally coded one? While that's possible, it doesn't seem likely. Battery failure on a digital keypad is the most likely path to finding one's self in that unhappy situation.

For this, and several other reasons, consider replacing an electronic keypad on a safe with a good old fashioned 3 or 4 digit mechanical dial. They just work.

74 Well look at that.

Orioles won again last night.

Now up by four above Tampa in the standings.

Next week is a four game series of the two teams slugging it out.

Could be interesting.


On a side note, with the Orioles having arguably their best season in years, Camden Yard attendance for home games struggles to hit 50% of capacity any game.

Nobody who has a choice is going into the city for nothing that can be put off.

The last 3 1/2 years have been very difficult, with the move, husbands new job, the depression our son went through -- just so many changes and challenges. We've been married a long time, but apparently there were some things that we just had stopped dealing with and all this upheaval made the cracks deeper. We are dealing with them, and relying on God's strength and grace. Thanks again for the prayers.

This and the fact that Harbor Place is vacant (!!) makes me sad. I know that things change but the changes always seem to be for the worse.

Hard to be proud of living in a suburb. That town has such a incredible history and such a vibrant culture up until a few decades ago, it so sad to see it dying.

96 Here's an interesting take from ZeroHedge on the -

Ever-Increasing Governance by Insanity of the "Joe Biden" Administration.

Well-worth a read:

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/americas-closer-

imploding-under-weight-its-own-absurdities-many-realize

i don't know if it's correct or not, but the article seems to boil down to governance by "Stray Voltage" to protect Obama from discovery of his true self and criminal activities.

That is, ever-increasingly insane/destructive policy deployed as a cynical ploy to engage the public and keep it busy to hide and conserve the power of Obama himself and the Democrat Party.

Could be because Obama/His handlers made frequent use of "Stray voltage" to distract his opposition(such as it was). Aaaaand, these guys aren't very smart they always repeat what's worked in the past into Ever-Billowing Panopolies of Absurdity until the whole thing collapses.

This seems to be where we are right now -Obama/Biden outed for who they truly are and held accountable or societal collapse harming/killing millions.

Interesting times indeed!

141 I recently came across the Pink Tones, and besides being a crack band, bring up something I haven been observing develop over the last decade, the rise of the so called tribute rock band, a characterization I dislike. What I see these bands doing is acting as the first expression of the Classic Rock canon morphing into the literal 20th century classical music. These bands are no different than a European classical trio, quartet, quintet, or other small orchestras other than what repertoire is being played. This period of music started out resembling pop music and has stood the test of time.

Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia

I went off on this totalitarian shit in the Tech thread. This is not the first time she went after the 2nd Amendment and it isn't the the first time the sheriffs around the state told her to go f' herself. Cheers to the Bernalillo Sheriff; now he should go clap her in irons and give her a bus ticket to California. What needs to happen next is a citizen to challenge this unconstitutional piece of crap in the Federal courts and once and for all put an end of governors using the public health fig leaf, such as during Covid, as an excuse to give themselves unlimited power to usurp the US and state Constitutions and laws. A less polite person might characterize what they are doing is using them as a masturbation lubricant.

We have the name and passport number of about CBP calculated a total overstay rate of 1.48 percent, or 684,499 overstay events.
So my guess is since 2010 there are close to 7 Million of these people.
So we just send a list to each of their countries and DEMAND the passport be cancelled.
Make them non-citizens.
Then send the list to every credit card and bank and ask them for the mailing address.

Or, are they afraid of their own constituents and just want to be able to bring the iron fist down without any fear of reprisal?

In fact this a common theme throughout all NM criminal law enforcement and contributes greatly to the criminals running around shooting up the place. Instead it is, as always, now being used as an excuse to nullify the US Constitution. Be clear here, this totalitarian has decided to give a giant FU finger to the constitution because she thinks she can get away with it. If she does expect everything to become a public health emergency in short order in all the blue states be that fossil fuels, food choices, or where you can live.

Removing this county lowers the state’s homicide rate from 8.403 to 7.511 per 100,000 residents, a 10.62 percent reduction, and lowers the county’s homicide rate from eighth to 11th in the nation.

Posted by: rhennigantx

What is not obvious from that statistic is most of the metro area (which is pretty much Bernalillo county) pretty safe (I lived in Rio Rancho and have been all over the city at all hours of the day). The bulk of the crime occurs along far west and far east Central Avenue and since 2019 you can add DT ABQ to the mix. The city has fallen apart over that few years and it has much to to do with the left wing city government. Remove that section of town and I bet the crime stats fall dramatically. Everything bad there is self inflicted and that too is a crime.

262 I was watching Russell Brand's interview of Jordan Peterson and its interesting to see how very different they are.

Brand has moved much more to the right in recent years so the difference here isn't so much politics, but Peterson is composed and seems to consider everything he says before he says it. Brand will give out a stream of consciousness that eventually gets to his point.

I wonder if the problem with being an actor who now things for yourself is that your mental ability to make a point has atrophied since for most of your life you just had to repeat what other people told you to repeat?

Or maybe I'm looking at this too deeply and its all those drugs the man did.

The City of Highland Park in Illinois is hosting an event for the community to understand what it’s like to be in poverty. You might think the event involves supporting food pantries, volunteering at shelters, assisting outreach programs, but that would be too easy.

The Alliance of Human Services is hosting a “poverty simulation.” Participants will be “put into situations in which they do not have enough resources and are forced to make difficult choices that can negatively impact them and their families.” The best part? The simulation takes place inside a country club!

what Im hearing is they cheaped out on the dogs and the available ones are not high quality - so nowadays they will take an older dog and do some basic tracking and certify it and THAT'S IT

I have friends who do tracking (really just for a fun activity) and they train all the time, just constantly, to keep the dogs keen. those dogs might work! but INSURANCE - can only use the lame ones they have and haven't bothered to train with

325 I read some of the commentary on social media regarding the stolen car chase. The 15yo was apparently from around here. That's surprising, because it's mostly rural. There are two subdivisions that have seen an influx of people from Louisville trying to escape the crime up there. They tend to bring their lifestyle with them. If it's not breaking into cars in the new 'hood it stealing them.

It is mostly law and order around here. However the local police department is ill equipped to deal with anything other than petty crimes... non-violent ones. The number of murders around here has jumped significantly.

I think it is a direct result of the urban flight. The lifestyle I alluded to can sometimes be violent and unpredictable.

We discuss the situation in the cities as being unsustainable. I think the flight to the rural areas is accelerating and it's bringing some unwanted baggage along with it.

330 Seven years ago we stated that the 'Move To Opportunity' program would have the effect of bringing the urban street life to the suburbs of Baltimore.

We were called racists as the county moved forward with not just affordable housing for existing county residents, but an active effort to import more and more from the city.

And oddly enough, the black callers to Baltimore talk radio now sound exactly like we did seven years ago.

332 All-out war is on the verge of breaking out between Armenia and Azerbaijan - lots of diplomatic activity going on today.

Armenia has shifted its orientation from being pro-Russia to pro-NATO (there is still a Russian military base in Armenia), so you have a bizarre set of alliances, with the United States and Iran backing Armenia, and Israel and possibly Russia backing Azerbaijan.

Fortunately, Victoria Nuland, the Angel of Death, has not been in Armenia and Azerbaijan since February, so there is still some hope for peace.

Interestingly, in the official description of Nuland's trip to both Armenia and Azerbaijan in February, one of the key purposes of the trip is to meet with "civil society" groups - i.e. Soros' people in the two counties.
