I almost lost my dad to a gust of wind today: fortunately, there was a tree between him and the not insignificant drop into the valley below. And he's on warfarin for a pulmonary embolism and DVT.

I realised at that moment I'm not ready to say goodbye just yet.

Please pray for my cousin's family. His youngest daughter aged 9 died on New Year's Day after a long battle with some sort of cancer.

For the child, and her parents and her 2 older sisters, please.
They are not people who have any faith, so this will be very difficult for them all.

still struggling a bit with the flare-up of symptoms that started christmas. I tried to go off the pain meds today so I could work but the pain came back and poleaxed me. so, back on the drugs and back to stoner-land. having lots of little wierdnesses otherwise, also. nothing i can't cope with I guess, but it sucks just the same. I really liked pretending to be normal. I'm in a lot of pain.

please pray for for N & G - mentioned on my codependence thread - spent time with both tonight and they're both very sad and suffering. moving forward, but it hurts.

could I also ask for a prayer for a big writing project? It's a big one, and a good one, but as always I fear failure so it's hard to start. but I have to start. I need courage and drive and tenacity and all that good stuff. it's very very worth it.

Ummm, comet, do you mind a wee suggestion?
Go back and read your last 50 posts.
You will meet a skilled writer, and she is you.
There are entire city libraries filled with writings by those less skilled than you, so dig in and do what you feel called to do.
And maybe give us a link when it is finished.
After spell and grammar check, of course.

My d-in-law "B" has now been told her baby "A" must be seen in hospital on Monday - it seems she has something scarey illness. Also "B" must be checked again in hospital. And the tiny flat they have is being seen by a council person on Tuesday to decide if they can be shifted - they really desperately need to be shifted to a decent size home.

The news I was hoping wouldn't come has - there is to be restructuring in the Department which will mean the work I and a colleague do will be reconfigured to form one post. One of us will be out of a job.

I was told today that my colleague L is seriously ill with cancer - bit younger than me and a man of generosity and energy. He needs radio/chemo to shrink the tumor then an op then more chemical stuff but the specialists are extremely optimistic for a full recovery. Please pray for strength for him and his family and healing.

5 minutes later my father rang to tell me they think he'd had a minor stroke today (he already is on strong meds for high blood pressure) and is having an mri scan in next couple of days and can't drive for 4 weeks min. Please pray for him and my mother - they are both anxious.

Yam-uk, it took me 3 times to pass my drivers test -- a prayer for calmness and success

Sorry to be so verbose this morning, but I'm gettin ready to go to the doc right now but i'd like to ask a little prayer for my cat Pulsar. She is basically healthy and has always been good with the litter box, but all of a sudden in the last couple of months she has started urinating in places she's not supposed to. Tho not an animal person my cousin is very patient (she peed on his back pack) because he knows how much she means to me. Grace for guidance to know how to help her and make things better. (Not Shipmates, but others might say "just get rid of her". That is NEVER happening, God brought her into my life quite by accident and she is family for life, my adopted non-human daughter)

K and N (again) please. Beginning to suspect that racism is playing quite a big part in N's predicament. I'd pray that those doing this to him develop a sense of shame, but I'd rather focus my energies more positively. They need all the help they can get tomorrow.

I haven't been on the Ship, much less this thread, in ages. But I wouldn't ask if I wasn't desperate.

Brief back story - hubby is self employed and has been doing progressively well, but not well enough, quickly enough. When I returned to work after having the baby I went from full time to part time, although we originally hoped I could stay home full time. Since then we have survived mostly on very generous gifts from family, but now we're just drowning. Every month we wonder how we're going to pay the bills. We even moved to get lower rent. We owe a scary amount in back taxes and are constantly dipping into savings (and yes, I know it's good that we even have any savings, but we won't for long if we keep this up).

It has now reached the point where I have asked my supervisor if I can come back 4 days a week instead of 3. It would make a huge difference, not least because we'd get health insurance back, but it really is the last resort because it's important for both of us that I have time with the baby, not to mention how crappy hubby felt about himself having to ask me to do this.

Problem now is that it affects the girl who covers for me on my off days. She works in a different dept on the other days where she gets paid much less than the days she covers for me, and where I know she is unhappy. And while I feel awful and horribly selfish trying to take a day back from her, she is single, living with flatmates with no baby to support etc, so really, I feel like my need is greater than hers.

So I guess I'm asking for prayers that I will be able to get a 4th day at work starting very soon, unless some other solution miraculously presents itself...

For all who are troubled, may God's strength bring them comfort.

Through endeavour, failure, danger
Father, be Thou at our side.

You are not alone in this.

Prayer for our church, for the energy and flexibility to do the ministries the diocese is giving us.

Erm. My Jennifer here is not our jlg. Another gal entirely, with her own woes.

Report from Back Home is grandma 'just' had some high blood pressure. Not sure if I should believe them, because I found out over my Christmas visit her primary caregivers think the cure for when she's having audio and visual hallucinations is to have a little nap.

Thanks, thanks, and thanks again for the prayers.

My oncologist said that the type of situation i am in can have a wide variety of outcomes.

The negatives: When melanoma has shown up in more than one location it is always a serious matter, and by the current law of averages my chance of living multiple decades and reaching the age of my 98-year old grandmother is statistically low at this time. (But that's at this time; who knows what medical science may come up with at any time, and of course there are always exceptions to statistical averages.)

The positives: The 2 locations where something was found were both tiny, and i have none of the symptoms that would be cause for worry. Also that the 2 spots weren't in the brain or liver is also very good.

So -- especially since there is a great variability in outcomes making hard predictions difficult, that means nothing is sure. Which is exactly the way life always is! Having to deal with this situation just means that means that i am being reminded of this fact in a less abstractly intellectual way. More about specific treatment options next week. Tonight is the eve of Epiphany, the glorious Feast of Lights. Tomorrow is another work day (which lots of folks don't have), and tomorrow evening i begin a 5 session seminar that could point to new more productive/fulfilling direction in my life. So I give thanks that life goes on, and my prayer is that my body, mind and soul stay healthy and that i can have useful and creative goals to strive for.
