The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival Featuring Moar Sunshine Than Evah

[Coffee addiction, noted. Duly noted, Blake (H/T)]

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

1) This is an open thread, feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate. Prayers are always good and welcome.
2) Be kind. Be nice. Or something, something.....
3) No! You may not run, jog, sprint or power walk with sharp objects.
4) See you Monday Night for the ONT
5) 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:
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.
8/14 Update – Random Dave needs continued prayers for his job situation, that God would guide him to the right one soon, and also for prayers for M’s grandmother, who fell the other day and tore a ligament.
10/1 Update – M’s grandma is healing. They are still praying for complete healing and mobility.
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.
10/8 – D asks for blessings on the Texas MoMe participants, as they travel and as they enjoy the event – and especially blessings on the organizers.
10/8; Mis. Hum. ditto's D's prayer for the organizers and participants of the upcoming Texas MoMe.
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 Prayers for all those in need of G*d's mercy and healing. And prayers for those in the path of the "hurrikin" (as my beloved MIL used to pronounce it). We're supposedly getting up to 2" today and possibly 5" of rain tonight here in upstate SC. I don't expect to see Noah's Ark floating by though. A nice day to stay in and chill.

Her Majesty was able to catch an earlier flight out of Nashville last night and got home in good order and at a reasonable time. So thank God for that. What with all the weather, she could have gotten home last night or she could have gotten home Monday.

29 "A North Carolina man lost a portion of his hand when a pipe bomb exploded in a wooded area of Georgia

A passing driver found the injured man around 4:40 p.m. Sunday. By then, the bomb had already exploded.

The sheriff identified the man as Peter Kim Tae Soo Theyson, 49, of Indian Trail, North Carolina.

When deputies arrived, Theyson repeatedly told them, “My bomb blew up”."

What did you expect, Mr "North Carolina Man"?

38 After watching the entire New York State Attorney General debate, I can’t get past Letitia James’s statement: “you don’t have to look at the facts and the law.”

This is not just Letitia, this is every local, state, and national (D) supposedly representing the public.
100% of their actions are emotional, contrived to protect criminals, and detrimental to the public welfare.

The pic doesn't always fit my pre-coffee mood, but there are days...

If anybody's got a loose prayer or two to spare, toss one in for one of my former work colleagues who's recovering (I hope) from a heart attack and stroke. And thank ya kindly.

I'll add a corporate prayer for safe travels and attendance for all those heading for Texas.

They've been trying. Thing I've noticed hereabouts is that family is expected to look after the needy, and wider services are something of an afterthought. In theory this is closer to the model a lot of us would prefer (private action over state control) but in practice, after generations of government-induced atrophy and strangling regulations, it doesn't work smoothly. Also sucks when closest family is a state away.

Oh well. At least God provided shelter from the storm. Now I gotta figure the rest out, as usual.

(*) There was question a few weeks ago about this form of the Doxology: this is the form used by the Order of Preachers (i.e, the Dominicans) and is used in the Divine Office. FYI, I'm a lay brother in the Lay Fraternity of St. Dominic -- what used to be termed the Third Order.

59 "The problem with quote, unquote, wokeness — and don’t get me wrong, it is great that marginalized people have a voice; it is great to advocate for anybody that feels marginalized," Chris Rock began, admitting that he's not against the concept in general. "But the problem is we’re in the Old Testament right now, and the Old Testament has no forgiveness.
The Old Testament didn’t work, so they had to write a remix called the New Testament."
