For Abigail, for healing.
For Amanda, for John, for Amanda's sister and her husband in the cruel loss of John. Lord have mercy.
For Ariel's mother.
For Cedd.
For Gussie (I had a rather good day as well, and feel like I would like to continue in this job for a good while).
For Inmersge Canfield's Brian.
For Nanny Ogg to be safe and well in her home.
For North East Quine's community facing this terrible loss.
For PeteC's Vida, and all who mourn her loss.
For T.
For R.
Thanks for prayers, the Telemum had a very successful appointment and the consultant was pleased with the GP's thorough report. I am a bit worried that her osteoporosis treatment is being suspended but they are going to monitor her condition and not operate (from what she said it sounds like hyperparathydroidism, so nothing too serious) unless it worsens. We are all smiles.
The Finance Monster is sneaking around in the bushes and growling, though. Don't think I should have teased him like that.

On the old thread, I asked for prayer for my depressed alcoholic brother, A, who told me he was self-referring for treatment for his alcoholism. Good news is that they tell him he is doing so well ON HIS OWN, he just needs to get back into going to meetings ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif)
The downside - why does there always have to be a downside? - is that he told our mother he was trying to lose weight. He is already stick thin. Why does it seem as if when he gets on top of one bit of his mental illness, another one pops up somewhere else? ![[brick wall]](graemlins/brick_wall.gif)
Lord have mercy.

Good news - have a job, or part of one. Working from home, flexi hours, part time for a charity, which works well for me. (But I have to be self employed, and pay my own stamp, which is complicated and scary.)
Bad news - since Boxing Day I've had a lot of pain in my leg (trapped nerve? sciatica?) which keeps flaring up, and stopping me from doing anything. Today is bad; I'm only remotely comfortable lying flat out with a hot water bottle.

Good news ![[Smile]](smile.gif) A friend came round this morning to see look at the cleaning which needs to be done and mentioned there was a drop in centre for housing advice every Tuesday at 2pm. Guess where I've been - and they have been very helpful. The advisor told me that it sounds like she is being overly fussy and cannot dictate how or when I clean or tidy up. He advised taking photographs as proof that the house is not being neglected. He assured me that I would get assistance to deal with things should she want to evict me but it will costs her money and he thinks that if it is over cleanliness (not proven) then she may think twice.

I had a nasty fall at home on Boxing Day - my "bad" leg went underneath me. Things have eased a lot, I'm now able to walk again, though it's hit my confidence and I'm using the sticks even in the house. I'm getting a lot of prayer from 4 amazing young people, I also saw a physio tonight who gave me ultrasound on my knee. I've been on the sick, resting my leg as much as possible, but I'm back in work Thursday. I'd really appreciate prayer for my return to work!

Here is a thing I need to pray about: I want to start an evening class, and also want to keep up with my singing (as well as doing a teaching job with all that entails and having time to stare at the wall).
This could be a good opportunity to make some changes as one choir hasn't been much fun recently.
I'm not sure what to do for the best, and don't want to let anyone down so please help me to work it out God kthnx

When it comes to "Not letting anyone down" consider yourself too. You teach for goodness sake - isn't that enough duty and self-sacrifice?

For Ana - diagnosed with a cancer.
Her husband was my room-mate 11 years ago when I had cancer. She and her daughter lived at the hospital, nearly, doing a lot of personal nursing for Louie. They also kept me company, and advocated for me when they felt he and I were ignored or mistreated. Louie died in late 2002. He never made it home. But I've kept in touch and today I got the phone call. Apparently this stay put her in the same room as Louie and me, but in my bed.
for Ana.

For my Aunt Madge, with ALS.
And for me, recently diagnosed with carpal tunnel-- a small thing by comparison, but it keeps me from playing the guitar for more than about 10 minutes, which weighs on me more than it probably should.

I had my MRI scan today and it went really well – I felt quite calm. Having got that over, I feel slightly less agitated about everything, and the symptoms (tingling, numbness etc) although still there, don’t seem quite so bad. I’ll get the results of the scan next week and then presumably I’ll know whether I need to be worried or not…
Thank you everyone who prayed and responded to my post, it really helped…

For The Intrepid Brother A, for healing.
Yay Robert Armin's job! For healing for the back trouble.
Yay for Nanny Ogg's lucky encounter! For a successful clean and meeting with the landlady.
For healing for Welease Woderwick's M.
For healing for St. Gwladys, and a good return to work.
For Mad Cat's evening class and singing opportunities.
For PeteC's Ana, for healing.
For Inmersge Canfield's uncle Hugh, for healing.
For employment for Nicolemr's brother T.
For Timothy the Obscure's Aunt Madge, for healing. For Timothy himself, and a resumption of guitar-playing.
For healing for Curious.
For Abigail, for healing.
I have to get stuff ready for a demo next week and as usual I'm scared about it. Need to put on the greatest show on earth!!!1!!!
For guidance in matters artistic and of the heart.
For the Telemum.
Visiting Cat spends so much time here that we really need to tame him (he may actually be feral) enough to be able to stuff him in a box and take him away for flea-powdering, worming, treatment of his irritated eyes, and maybe a little something for his anxiety and low weight, and of course neutering. Because nothing says "we love you and want to welcome you into our family" like kidnapping and surprise nonelective surgery to the nethers.
For general resolve and multiplication of my efforts in time management, money management, weight management, interpersonal relationships, career success, educational progress, and the overall not-screwing-up of my one and precious life. kthx

Emergency prayer request--
In about half an hour Mr. Lamb is planning to confront our old un-friend the Encroaching Creature, who (as those of you who've had to put up with my whining know) has had a major spite against us for some time and joined up with our old enemies of 2006 (the ones who led to my screen name). He has now apparently gone to our denominational authorities with bullshit about Mr. Lamb committing adultery (this is a revival of the old, old, OLD accusations from 2006, and needless to say completely a lie, then and now). Mr. L is enraged and planning to confront the whole boiling lot of them this evening without a friendly or even neutral witness present. Anything could happen, most likely added slander, but up to and including violence against him. Would you pray that the Holy Spirit overrules this whole bloody mess? God have mercy on us.

Feeling the start of a cold, which I really can't afford to have due to my current workload. Our workplace has been decimated by flu, so I don't want that either! Although I have to say, I feel somewhat overwhelmed by my job at the moment and so a rest would be nice!

Asking for prayers for some conflict resolution here in the Overberg where farmworker protests demanding higher wages have turned into riots. Looting of shops and attacks on a Somali shopkeeper, stone-throwing and burning of tyres. The police hopeless at crowd control and retaliating with rubber bullets and stun grenades.

I am going to Mass several times a week because Z (my wife) needs continued prayers. She graduated with an MA in Education nearly a year ago and is still a bloody underpaid supply teacher, teaching English to local juvenile delinquents. Her daily pay exceeds mine by slightly more than 6% even though she has at least 50% more education!
I am positive she is a victim of age discrimination as is one of my colleagues. She refuses to contact the National Labor Relations Board here in the USA. Dunno why...
We are able to keep our heads above water, but only just...
Praying for all who post on this board.
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Feel free to PM or e-mail me if you wish me to pray for any of you by name. I shall light a candle for all when I go to mass at my local cathedral later today.
