For a young lad N who fell playing a game at our kid's club today, banged his head and is in hospital under observation. Praying the bleeding caused will stop with no ill effects.

(((((The Midge)))))
For the young soldier killed in Woolwich today, and for the soul of his killer.
For healing for Mr Bee, sans vomiting.
Yeah daisymay!
For Curious, for healing.
For healing for Lucia's N.
The interview today went really well, and I will be surprised if they don't offer it to me - so if You think I should have it, Lord, let them offer it to me *and not keep me waiting too long*…
PLUS they said that IF they offer it to me they would be able to partially fund my side-project ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif)
One more addition to the HORDES of people who are trying to interview me. If this continues I'll have to start putting a blanket over my head every time I leave the house. Seriously though - it takes time away from my current project, which I must not screw up.
Telemum had a high blood pressure reading today. Please pray that it goes straight back down again. However, they also say she's not getting any kind of dementia, which is great to have confirmed.

Take emptiness and lying speech far from me, and do not give me poverty or wealth. Give me a living sufficient for me.

Reading the PBS News Hour tonight and found this e-mail from "Karen" in Tennessee. It was posted by Paul Salmon. who is doing a story on the rise in suicides in the US and its connection to long-term unemployment. Please pray for "Karen" and all the long-term over-50 unemployed in the US. There is no social safety net any longer.
quote:
Why aren't people talking about age discrimination at a major level? I have been unemployed for more than five years. I have had training to add new skills to two degrees. Training and education mean nothing if no one will hire you. I live in a "right to work" state where corporations can do anything and government is in collusion in perpetrating this endemic discrimination ...
Companies aren't afraid of older workers -- they can and do anything they want. I have done everything a person can do to get a job and survive. I'm a woman alone and nobody cares. That's why the suicides have gone up drastically.

For Grammatica's "Karen" and all the long-term over-50 unemployed in the US and elsewhere.
For Ethne Alba's N, for healing.
For all the suffering people in Moore, Oklahoma.
For the soldier killed in Woolwich, and for peace and reconciliation.
For understanding and reconciliation for all those affected by the riots in Stockholm.
For malik3000s B, her son Father G, and all who are grieving at her passing.
For The Midge, Mother Midge, and the Midge family.
For chive's M, for healing, and for restoration for chive.
For comfort for l'organist.
For relief from pain and full healing for Malin le Chat.
For comet's friend R, for a smooth transition.
For Zoey's C children.
For daisymay.
For M, and M.'s, and for wisdom for M.
For mother mousethief, for healing.
For good employment for Brothermr.
For all Golden Key's challenges to be resolved.
For uplifting for Curious.
For harmony hope to trust and have grounds to trust, and for support from all around her.
For piglet's P. and S., for healing.
For Late Paul, for it all to et sorted out.
For healing for Mr Bee, sans vomiting or stress.
For malik3000's C, for mature focus and the ability to act on it. For his son and his son's mother. For J, for success in life, to be reunited with her daughter, and to be reconciled with her mother.
For malik3000 to get proactive with it. And melanoma be gone!!! May that melanoma not just hang around being "stable" but just go. away!!!! And for riddance of the prostate cancer.
For healing for Oferyas.
For healing for Lamb Chopped's C.
and ((((thanks, malik3000!!!))) I really, really actively want this job I went for yesterday, not only because I need a job and to take the pressure off my workload, but because it seems so fabulous. And would probably get my side-project funded.
There was a point, during the Great Unending Jobhunt of 2007-2008, that I thought I'd reached a point of exquisite numbness, when I realised that I couldn't control outcomes by changing the way I thought about things. I was able to do an application a day and spend most of the day lying on the floor watching Dexter, which for some reason I found strangely appealing, and which after all is the lifestyle that unemployed people are stereotypically expected to have. Well, the lesson apparently didn't stick, for here I am again, with all the worry and none of the spare time. The suspense is killing me. I really really want these people to say yes, right away. Please.
And for the Telemum, bless her and keep her ![[Axe murder]](graemlins/lovedrops.gif)

So sorry Telepath
Praying through.
Please continue to pray for 8 year old N and his family. N suffered a head injury on Wednesday. Still in hospital. He had a rough night with vomiting and fainting which are new symptoms although CT scan yesterday looked unchanged. He has a facial fracture and two cranial bleeds.
Pray too for 15yr old J who was swinging N around in a game when the accident happened. This accident is hard for him and his family too.

For Lucia's N, for healing. For upholding for J and the rest of the family.
Just got notified of a telephone interview this afternoon at 3. Normally I'd be thrilled, but 1) not much time to prepare 2) it's going to be a tough sell against my actual experience 3) it pushes my current project to the bottom of today's priority list, which is worrying.
Anyway, please pray that I make the best impression possible and that I'll be offered the job if it's suitable.

Thanks for the prayers today. The dr decided the ominous lump wasn't exciting, so they are going to slowly burn it off (fun!) with a daily treatment by the District Nurses.
My first visit to a hospital showed up some big gaps in my French vocabulary (I gave my date of birth instinctively in Welsh!), while it will take this Brit a while to get used to being prodded, poked, shunted around, and then at the end being given the bill!

There has been quite a bit of police activity in my street for the past couple of days. I have no idea what's going on but (especially in the light of Wednesday's horrific events) it's beginning to worry me. I'm not sure if it's something I should be concerned about or not. Just praying that whatever it is, is resolved quickly and safely.
And again, praying for all the needs posted above

Praying for all
Please pray for all those doing the Bridgenorth sponsored walk, which includes Mrs Midge and I (too long a story to tell).It looks like typical British Bank holiday weather i.e. lots of rain. Wet could mean more blisters, slips trips and falls etc. and more work for the supporters (St John Ambuance & Red Cross) and the organisers.
Then its a visit to Mum and Dad to see what we can to to help them including setting up a bedroom down stairs.
