Before we enter the Prayer Revival, just a few housekeeping matters to go over. (Rulz for those of you in Peshtigo)

1.This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
2. Be kind, be nice. And please don't jump on the furniture.
3. Running with sharp objects? They better be yours!
4. Have a wonderful 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:

10/5 – tbodie Lurker asked for prayers. During surgery for an ablation, they found an external source of afib on an outer wall of the heart. There will be a second procedure done soon.

10/7 – Piper requested prayers for her stepfather, who fell and broke his wrist. He will need surgery to put a plate in. He is in a lot of pain.

10/7 – NR Pax sent an update and thanks for the prayers – mother-in-law’s masses in her chest turned out to be non-cancerous.

10/7 – 496 asked for prayers for the people suffering from Hurricanes Helene and Milton. 496 is on his third bout of pneumonia in a month, so he could use some prayers, too. His doctors have not figured out yet what is going on.

10/7 – Eromero posted a prayer. “Dear God, Please grant comfort to families suffering worry and despair over relatives missing after the hurricane damage. Give the searchers and rescuers sharp eyes and gentle hands, guide them to any victims’ location. Supply survivors with medical treatment and nourishment, place them in safe shelters. Return them to their loved ones. In Christ’s name. Amen.”

10/7 – Marcus T posted the good news that a family member’s cancer is gone. Marcus T’s cancer is gone, as well, so he says to never lose hope, He will show you the way.

10/7 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her church’s rummage sale, and that the township which has purchased land from the church would complete the transaction and pay for the land.

10/12 – Just call me Bill asked for prayers for his 14 year old granddaughter. She is being evaluated by a rheumatologist and her mother is afraid she has lupus. Just call me Bill is asking for prayers for a better diagnosis.

10/16 – FeatherBlade posted a prayer request for his/her stepdad. He was having heart problems, went to the hospital, and they admitted him. He had a stent put in.

10/19 – Jewells said the CT scan showed growth of 3 tumors on her right lung. There are also new bone lesions on her spine, lower back, and ribcage, and fluid around both lungs which will need to be drained. Not great news, but expected after being off chemo since April.
10/26 Update – Jewells had an infusion on 10/17, and all the terrible side effects came back with a vengeance. That’s it. She’s done. NO MORE. She is looking into ivermectin and fenbendazole.

10/19 – mindful webworker asked for prayers for an elderly neighbor’s health, and strength and solace for his wife and family.

10/21 – J proposed a group prayer, on 10/29 at noon (Central) to ask God for an end to the corruption in DC and a return to the American values that made this country great.

10/23 – T gave an update that Vic, who used to do the morning report on Ace, has passed away. He had been in poor health for some time.

10/24 – buzzion asked for prayers for his friend Christina. She is dealing with a lot of struggles right now and could use the positive prayers.

10/24 – B requested prayers for a friend (age 43) who is having heart and lung problems. He had to take “the shot” for work, so B is concerned about what that might mean.

10/25 – Mental Block requests prayers as his prostate cancer journey transitions from active surveillance to deciding between two treatment options: a prostatectomy or 6 weeks of radiation combined with hormone therapy. Treatment will begin by mid-December.

10/26 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her son, a recent college graduate who is looking for work. He was recently offered a job, but the hiring supervisor hasn’t yet worked out the funding for the position. If you could pray that rough places are made smooth, they would appreciate it. Thanks very much.

10/26 – Semi-anonymous requested prayers for D, who suffered one or two moderate strokes last month. He is ambulatory but has lost half of his vision and had to fight with his insurance company for weeks to get approved for in-home rehab, and for M, who is going in for surgery for the amputation of her lower leg due to a non-cancerous but highly invasive tumor.
cr
10/26 – W sent the following prayer request, with apologies to General Patton –
“Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains election fraud with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle elections. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers American Citizens who call upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies the swamp, and establish Thy justice among men and nations. Amen.”

10/26 – Teresa in Fort Worth asked for prayers. She got some troubling and totally unexpected medical news on 10/25, and is being referred to an oncologist to see where she goes from here. She said she is freaking out because this wasn’t even on the radar. It was found while being tested for something completely unrelated.
10/31 Update – Teresa got confirmation that it is malignant cancer. She will be meeting with doctors this week to start the battle against the cancer.

10/27 – Jim Sunk New Dawn posted an update. He was feeling poorly at the TxMoMe. Aviator (a neurosurgeon) and Nurse Ratchet visited with him for a while, and the doctor gave him a “look over”. He insisted that Jim visit his local ER first thing on Monday. He did so, and was in the hospital until Thursday. Jim was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS). He has a 3-5 year life expectancy. He appreciates a raft of Horde Prayers – y’all is the Best Horde EVER!

10/31 – Nan in AZ is thankful for all the prayers; she got good news from the cardiologist this week that after the heart attack and hospitalization in July, and 3 stents, the ejection fraction is back to normal and the external defibrillator has been discontinued. She has to follow up in 4 months, and will be able to resume full function and work, caring for her 84 year old mom. Good is good!

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.

Witnessed the best high school football game I've ever seen last night, won by a last second field goal from 40 yards out.

My great nephew separated a shoulder in the struggle, praying for him this morning.

12 Definitely a good time for a prayer revival. I'm scheduled to go help out at church this morning during their Saturday morning prayer session.

Also, our church experienced a water main break yesterday that flooded the lower level. (Main sanctuary seems to be OK for now). So it created quite a mess and the children will not be attending their Sunday School classes tomorrow.

19 Here is a prayer I've been saying in my daily devotions over the last few days. I thought I would share it with you, as I find it comforting.

Heavenly Father, the cup has been placed before us. It is the cup of strife and civil disorder. We beg you to take it away, but if we must drink it, even down to its bitter dregs, Thy will be done. Amen.

23 The most legendary high school football ending was a local one in the 90’s, where between them the two teams scored 5 touchdowns in the last two minutes. The losing team went ahead with 10 seconds left on the clock, the winner ran the ensuing kick back 99 yards with 0 on the clock.

Bailey is a grey tabby we found on our back porch a few years ago. Recently he had a recurring UTI which seems to have finally cleared up. Very grateful thanks to all those of you who contributed financially.
If you take your car for a problem and the problem reoccurs you take it back and it gets worked on until it's fixed and at no extra cost. Why don't doctors and vets work like that?

Fear of such injuries has helped emasculate modern men. Though only 29, I am now bothered by injuries in high school and college, but would not take them back.

Indeed, I'd have done more of that sort of thing.

Thanks! I think we need to remember that all the hand-wringing in the world won't change anything. Yes, we can take meaningful action and vote, but obsessing on the news plays into the hands of the Enemy, who is having a ball right now.

God wins. This is the truth. If Harris steals it, that is in accordance with His will. What will He be trying tell us? What should we learn?

If Trump wins, that is not an unconditional vindication, merely a reprieve from a worse fate. The struggle will still continue, though.

I meant to add that Bailey is 5 years old now. He came to us as a kitten in Dec 2019, and estimated to be 10-12 weeks old. Funny cat. Gets pushed around by other, smaller cats. Great with us though. If we look at him and roll our heads then he imitates by rolling his. What a character. Love him. Sleeps with me most of the time.

41 Perfesser. Water break at our family center this past Spring after -32 temps. What a mess. Remediation and repair took over 2 months. The only thing that had to be removed and replaced was the sheet vinyl flooring. To do that 90% of the kitchen items had to be removed, anything that the vinyl was under. Ruined fish fry season for the Knight's of Columbus and stopped any new rentals from being booked. The new floor is nice and that's the only positive to come from that mess.

As he should have. One of our drill sergeants had a wooden staff, which he used to point and prod the recruits (this was in 2000, when they were really cracking down on fraternization).

He set it along the wall and was talking and it began to fall so the platoon guide caught it, and a second later the sergeant exploded with "DROP IT!" It clattered to the floor, and the platoon guide stammered that he was trying to catch it.

"DO NOT EVER EVER TOUCH MY STICK! THE FLOOR IS CLEANER THAN YOUR FILTY NASTINESS! DO YOU UNDERSTAND!?"

"YES DRILL SERGEANT!!!"

We loved that guy. He was the most popular NCO in the company. Everyone did imitations of him and at the end, we had a contest with him as the judge.

48 I separated my shoulder playing rugby. Never fully healed. Ditto the ankle I broke playing.

But I have other non- sports injuries that will hurt forever, too. Spine. Ribcage. Knee. Jaw.

It's just life. I do kinda feel sorry for people who never got any injuries, which seems to be most people these days.

Inevitably, your body breaks down, and things hurt, and you're unprepared for what that's like.

Enjoy!!
Whilst trying to figure out how to create a file to save links to on my phone a few days ago I ended up taking a trip down memory lane.
I had saved a PDF of a newsletter from the International Bushido Society. The senior student from my (very small) long ago school was serving a stint as president.
The school was very small because most would leave within a couple months.
Give ya 3 guesses why.

72 For instance, where I live now, for a renter to take possession of a property, it has to be under a very special, reasonable status that takes many years of specific circumstances to attain, that virtually nobody would object, because all interested parties aside from the State and the renter are dead or incapacitated. This virtually never happens. That law has dust and cobwebs on it.

When I tell people that in many places people literally steal entire houses all the time and get away with it, they look at me like I'm a bad standup comedian from Planet Freakazoid.

I don't even bother telling them about the Mayan death cult street warriors who now steal entire apartment buildings. But, at least Trump and Vance do. People will believe them.

-------
Just this past summer there was discussion in the KY legislature about beefing up laws that dealt with squatters. The left went about demonizing the effort, saying it was "anti-homeless" and directed at illegals and the poor.

The actual motivation was the amount of property damage and theft being done by these squatters. The property in question typically was either a farm, or some other property with acreage. The squatters were killing livestock, pets, making a mess, destroying structures, etc. Plus they typically had no clue about sanitation. It was horrible.

So, KY started to look into the forcible removal of squatters on private land. That was what the left was jacked up about... that someone would be able to remove people from their own property instead of being forced to permit them to stay.

P'nut and a pet raccoon were both euthanized under the guise of checking for rabies. DEC (Dept of Environmental Conservation) could have quarantined the animals for a few days - but since NYS is a Dem run state - and Dems are the party of death - they kill the animals.

But really, this isn't a GOP vs Dem debate. This needs to be a "Our govt is too big, and has too much power" debate.

The Left in Portland's county a couple of years ago proposed a county capital gains tax to provide "free" legal representation to tenants and squatters facing eviction.

Yep, if someone squats in your house (which happens in Portland), the county would provide the squatter with a "free" lawyer to fight any attempts to kick the squatter out. (You, the owner, would not get a "free lawyer", of course.)

Amazingly, this was a bridge too far even for Portland, and the proposal was voted down decisively.

The chief could be a jerk. I would not have played it that way. It is also possible that there was other stuff going on, like the E2 not taking care of other, more important stuff and so part of the blowup is that instead of doing housekeeping, maybe focus on the important stuff.

I mean, often times people blow up over what seems trivial, but it's just the latest outrage.

And yes, I'm biased in favor of SNCOs vs E2s.

143 I woke up at 3-frickin'-30 AM thanks to a neighbor dog's barking; that in turn triggered MY dog to join the chorus, and I couldn't get back to sleep. I set up my radio to try and join in a mini-contest, but either the antenna isn't working or it just sucks. All I could hear was static. So, Plan B is to go to my favorite breakfast spot and load up on grease and carbs before running errands.

Polliwog - Here is what I did for a generator at Casa de OCiS. I picked up a portable 10,000 watt portable generator. Had an electrician put in a 30amp outlet on the outside of the house wired to a breaker. Get a generator interlock device ($70). 30amp outlet is only live when the main breaker is off (disconnected from utility). Then you can feed your panel from that 30amp outlet via the generator. This gives you complete control on what to power in your house.

153 Although the issue here in KY with regards to squatters hasn't resulted in any new laws that I'm aware of, the fact that land owners could forcible remove someone squatting on their land was just too much for some people to comprehend.

In some cases there are legit reports of squatters slaughtering cattle or horses, pets and setting fire to various structures. These are not simply "homeless" souls either. They're typically strung out on drugs, transients and criminals that slipped through the legal cracks.

In the deeply rural areas I doubt it's much of an issue, but outside of the larger population centers it is.

172 MisHum, I saw Joe Bonamassa's band again in Tucson. When I say again I mean like I have every year for the last 15 years or so, sometimes multiple times, and most certainly all over the western US. This version of his band dispenses with horns and drives right into the heart of 1960s British Blues-Rock. It is all rather spectacular and is a perfect vehicle for Mr Bonamassa to run wild which he does. Unlike his previous bands, which felt like a front man with side men, this is a legit band and he relishes in that interplay like I've never heard with with other versions of his ensembles. Additionally, they have been now has been playing together for a number of years and they are crushing it these days. If you haven't ever seen his band, this would be a good one to see.

177 Religious people are terrible at politics, and Right to Lifers in Michigan had basically become GOP kingmakers, since their endorsement usually decided the primary election.

Result: only the most extreme "no exceptionis" candidates got the nomination, and under Roe, it didn't matter.

And then it did, and the GOP got thumped. Even now idiot Catholics are banging on about "punishing Trump" because we're supposed to hold the line and just keep losing forever.

should unlimited access to abortion be part of the state constitution

it's funny... 2 ballot questions seemingly at odds- Colorado wants to codify abortion, which is the deliberate destruction of a living human embryo or fetus, but also wants to ban the deliberate destruction of mountain lions, bobcats and lynx, because cute & furry

Yes, and part of the problem was that RTL itself was run by people who had so little asked of them mentally. With Roe in place, all they did was nibble at the edges, and comfort themselves with abstract polling showing pro-life sentiment.

They were not prepared for OB-GYNs to lie on television or fabricated incidents. They had spent decades playing kingmaker in GOP primaries and raising money.

On the positive side, they can only win so much, and all victories in politics are temporary.

279 The SCOTUS decision on abortion was a giant step. And properly made whether you're pro life or pro baby murder.

But, we're now in the baby steps phase. That means getting political feasible restrictions like the French, and simultaneously working to change the culture. That takes a lot of time and money.

RTL needs to recognize this new environment and FFS try reading the dang Constitution. They won a major battle but the rest of the war is going to be guerilla warfare. So win your small victories

The Church needs to recognize the new situation and react with public moral clarity. I don't think it's too much to say that if you've had an abortion, your spiritual situation is such that you must go to confession before receiving Communion. Things like that. Maybe even banning Communion for those supporting abortion. Etc.

The Mises caucus of the LP and a huge numbers of Bernie bots were Ron Paul supporters when he was running in the primary. Ron Paul may have presented Trump with a fair number of votes by his endorsement and his willingness to get stuck in, just by giving out that voting for Trump won't be bad.

A lot of people will sneer at the "tiny" number of votes that would bring, but it all helps.

It has everything to do with it. If you can't admit your mistakes, you never improve and when confronted with failure (or any misfortune), the first thing you have to ask is: what could I have done differently?

The right has been stumbling from error to error for decades, worshipping at the altar of GDP and tax cuts and treating religion as a thing we are ashamed of. Religious conservatives were generally cheap dates who always were told "later, later" and then when it came, were utterly unprepared for it. That's on us. There was no plan after Roe. Even now, our leaders are in denial, unable to do anything at all. It's been TWO YEARS since Michigan passed that abominable bill. What the hell are they doing? Where are out ballot initiatives to curtail the excesses regarding parental authority?

The fund-raising emails and letters haven't stopped though. At least their staff is getting paid.

Jill Stein flipped Michigan to Trump.

288 My 88 year old mother, who has been doing well the last couple of years, has pain in her side after eating. She lays down and it goes away.

We thought diverticulitis but three courses of anti biotics didn't help. After her last pills this week, we're going to go heavy on probiotics, yogurt and changing her diet.

We'll bring her to the ER later for a Cat Scan if needed.

Please add her to the prayer list. Thanks so much.

289 >>> Just my opinion, but I think people will come out for Trump in any weather, because they feel a sense of loyalty to him. I don't think there is a similar loyalty to Kamala.

Why would the Founders choose early November and make everyone vote in person? Didn't they know the weather sucks?

I would think it was self-evident that the weather sucked because they were out in it more than modern man - it was lso fter harvest season when most hd free time. My SWAG was this was common knowledge at that time.

292 So the movement has two options: understand the new reality and work within that new reality to slowly shift pupil opinion. Or keep fighting the battle politically and lose l, which leads to electing even more pro abortion people to power.

Yep. Move incrementally, converting people through the long haul. Start out with medical arguments, explain how miscarriages are different, and how abortions to save the life of the mother are very rare.

At the same time, roll out legislation to cut the cost of childbirth, push tax reforms so more women can stay home with their children rather than day care. We can completely outflank the Dems on this, but no one is doing anything.

Basically, ban late-term abortions and include rape, incest and life of the mother exceptions. Also require reports on how prevalent these are so we have solid numbers.

When Michigan passed CCW reform, the State Police were required to keep stats on permits that were revoked. This was supposed to discredit it, but it actually showed how law-abiding they were. Let's do the same with abortion - track those special cases.

On Halloween, the first day of early voting here in KY, the polling place was jam packed. And it was pouring rain. The other location in my county was worse... lots more people. We had 200+ at times. Took us about 45 minutes to get inside to actually vote.

296 ..This is where abortion is today.

No it's not. It's where lying leftists tell their sub 80 IQ base it is because the left is largely made up of stupid, pliable idiots who can be convinced that their cause is so righteous anything including lying and cheating is not just acceptable but required to beat Orange Hitler and his band of Nazis. Castrate your kids because it's "gender affirming care" has to be one of the dumbest and most obscene things leftists have ever come up with yet they convince themselves they are the good guys. They aren't.

Trump has said repeatedly, in multiple interviews both on video and print, he does not favor a national ban on abortion. and would not sign one if it came to his desk. Anyone who says anything to contrary is knowingly lying. That's how you can tell who is a leftist. They lie as easily as normal people breath.

That is a mistake, and why you only legislate what is feasible. So you look at where support is, and that's where you go. Banning late-term abortion is popular if you include rape, incest, and life of the mother.

So pass that. Then you work away at the edges.

And just for the benefit of everyone where, Whitmer got re-elected because the GOP nominee went on TV to say she supported zero restrictions on abortion, even rape, incest, life of the mother and it was played on endless loops.

She did that to get the RTL endorsement, which won her the nomination and lost the election.

RTL needs to stop demanding that candidates do this. They need to get pragmatic and not force the GOP off a cliff with bad, unviable candidates.

And when you lose your medical license for not performing an abortion? When a hospital loses its certification for not permitting abortions? When you're arrested for praying outside a clinic? Shall we capitulate to that as well?
