Here at the beginning of the New Year, now underway in the east, we bring our prayers before God.
Once again I begin with the prayer used last year:
My God, my Creator, my Redeemer, my Love
Spirit pervading all creation, of which I am a part
Spirit which moves within me and unites me to that whole
May we grow towards unity
May we help each other in our daily needs, earthly, spiritual and emotional
May I learn to have compassion for myself and others
May I be open to the promptings of the Spirit
So that we all may live in peace and love and rejoice in the glory of creation.
Let it be so.

Dani's life support will be removed between 2 and 4 pm EST on New Year's Day, pending availability of the organ harvesters.
Farewell to my lovely great-niece, her beautiful voice, her love and patience with special-needs children.
Please pray for her mother, her three little sisters, her grandmother, her father and her paternal grandparents. Heck, pray for us all, who knew and loved her, as we move forward with a huge Danielle-shaped hole in our hearts.

We have just heard that M, my 9 year old granddaughter, was admitted to hospital this morning. She has not been well for several weeks. Tests are being done and hopefully we will know something soon.
This is the family which was split just a few weeks ago and my DIL has generally been unpleasant.

Bad news. Hospital is 99% sure it's leukaemia. She will have spinal tap, brain fluid drain, lumbar puncture, bone marrow puncture tomorrow under general anaesthetic to see which type of leukaemia it is.

And if you can, please pray for me. I started the new year with other people around me, which was good and pretty much a first for me, and I'm trying to be positive but I feel quite depressed about the year ahead.

for all.
Please pray for N, my work colleague's partner who's going in for an operation for breast cancer on monday. It's partly exploratory so please pray they don't find any more than they already know about.
On a smaller scale I'd appreciate prayer for my anxiety/depression. I was doing much better toward the end of the year but Christmas and New Year has taken its toll and I feel myself slipping into bad habits and I need to start again with the things I know help. Even writing that makes me angry - I hate that I have to work just to maintain an even emotional level. Which in turn makes me feel guilty because I know lots of people have it worse.
Lord, have mercy!

I will try to pray with y'all this year because I know it still works, at least some of the time.
Mostly I just cross myself and walk on.

For swift and accurate resolution of the arson at the Chinese consulate, here in SF. Several years ago, someone set fire to the gate. This time, they used some sort of incendiary device in the entry way. No injuries, AFAIK. A hate crime is one possibility that's being considered. There are lots of Asian San Franciscans, and a hate crime has got to be nerve-wracking for them.
Thanks.

Could you include prayers for everyone affected by the latest wild weather. There are flood warnings in effect all over the UK, but there's a severe flood warning in effect just on the other side of the river from us, where our eldest son & his partner and our daughter live. High tide is at 8:30pm GMT and people are already being evacuated from properties most at risk because there's going to be some flooding - it's a matter of how much and exactly where.

I have just resigned from one of my teaching posts (they were requesting voluntary redundancies, it is a course that I find hard to fit around my other commitments and taking this redundancy may protect my other courses which I'd like to keep). I think I have made the right decision and feel quite liberated having done so but I have bipolar disorder so the urge to do more work is compelling. Really I want peace of mind about my decision, especially as I sometimes feel guilty about not working more when my husband works so hard (he is very supportive about my decision and is discouraging me from getting more work). Please pray that I can get rid of some of my anxiety about this.
Many thanks

Thank you for this, Telepath.
Little Miss M is scheduled for first chemo on Friday. Wednesday down here now. Scan of heart muscle yesterday to be used as a baseline marker for the future showed a previously unknown hole in the heart. It hasn't stopped an active little girl in the past and nothing will be done unless it causes problems.
However, she developed pancreatitis yesterday with no apparent cause and has morphine through a central line for the pain. Chemo goes ahead regardless.

Prayers would be appreciated for me and my wee S3 class. We have had many ups and downs, but I am very fond of all the vivid, funny, goofy people in the class.
We have had a difficult time this year with behaviour, stemming from one source in particular. I've done my best, and had lots of help, working on the relationships, and trying to make the atmosphere good.
Stuff just busts out though. I had to call the duty head today, and it turned out she'd already seen the pupil in question, Miss R, twice that day. I then had words with Miss R's 'follower', a daft lassie who has got caught up in Miss R's messed up agenda.
Wee follower said to me: "I hate this class. I hate the people. I'd rather sit in a room on my own and do my work."
It really saddens me. She wants it to stop, and she's pretty much the first to join in the minute it kicks off.
And I really feel for the rest of the kids, who are just trying to work away and get on with something and are so BORED with Miss R and her agenda.
Please hold us all in prayer tomorrow, when we are in the library just after lunch. I'm hoping that the good people from our Guidance department will give me a hand. Please think of:
Miss D and Miss J, two young workers.
Miss A, the follower.
Miss C, another follower.
Miss R, who is a hairdresser, but unfortunately has to be in full time education till she's 16.
All the boys, who sometimes join in but often just look bemused.

Little Miss M has her first dose of chemo for the leukaemia this afternoon.
The pancreatitis has been caused by the steroids she is on. If a balance can be found here, they will let her go home as we were told that her body will be used to bacteria etc in her own home.
As for the rest of us, it still feels as if we have been hit by a bus or similar. It is hard adjusting the mind to what will be the new normal, actually even finding out what the the new normal entails.

I may or may not have asked for prayer, having rather suddenly and impulsively jumped ship from the Church I have attended for some years, to attend my Parish Church. There have been issues, but I have many friends there. I know I have left some people feeling hurt and disappointed.
Tomorrow is the funeral of one of the older members of the Church, who I was fond of, and who was a great support when things were difficult at Church. ( A scandal, which I had to manage).
I need to go to the funeral, to support the family, and to say 'good-bye for now' to him.
Please pray that my attendence will not be a distraction to others, (particularly the Vicar!)

For bannination of the Finance Monster. (In December, I have to tax, reinsure, MOT, breakdown-cover, fully service, and renew the parking permit for my car. I also just had my annual brain checkup which is of course compulsory, unfunded, and entirely private. To prepare for all these wholly predictable expenses that hit every year exactly at Christmas, I was extra careful to make sure that I spent money like a drunken sailor ahead of time. The Finance Monster has set a formal table for 12, has tucked a napkin under his chin, and is licking his lips in my general direction. And yet my invitation seems to be lost in the post. Dear Miss Manners, should I be worried?)

Many things are causing me excessive stress and I'm starting to get too anxious to cope properly. It should all right itself but I need confidence and also calm to get through. The finance monster chases me a little which is also nerve wracking.

May everyone have a blessed 2014.
I've been away from the computer more lately, not from bad reasons -- just due to changes in my routine and responsibilities. And I've basically been away from the Ship, not having the time to get into interesting but time-consuming discussions. But this is one part of the Ship I've missed and don't want to be away from, and hope to continue to be a part of this prayer navy. Knowing that Shipmates have been praying for me has been very strengthening and comforting.
I give thanks that over 2 years since my diagnosis of metastatic melanoma the small mets have remained stable and small and I remain feeling very healthy. God is SO good.
Prayers for everyone on the Ship and all the needs expressed on this thread:
for the repose if the soul of Danielle, and for Pete C and all who loved her.
fot St Gwladys' Jo and her family
for Ye Olde Motherboard's S
for Lothlorien's Miss M
for Telepath, may her productivity flourish (non-stressfully), the finance monster be crushed under her heel, and Visiting Cat be happy and healthy
for all who feel their life is not worth living
for Bene Gesserit, having to undergo the grimness (and, IMHO, the humiliation) of having to re-apply for one own's job.
for the feral cat family of 5, mama, a real sweetheart, and 4 young ones (all weaned) -- i was able to get mama spayed, and she is temporarily recuperating post-op inside -- to the annoyance of Pulsar, my feline housemate of 5+ years. May the whole family have safe lives, and may the little ones get placed
for me to make more productive use of the time God has given me; for me to somehow better organize my life and finances (the Finance Monster has been seen lurking in the area), and may i be able to coordinate what i need to coordinate to finally get a car.
for my energetic, talented and big-hearted cousin that he may get a more mature focus in his life (he's in his late 30s)

Little Miss M came through the first chemo session quite well. However doctors are still concerned about the pancreatitis developing so strongly so soon. Her blood sugar levels are also elevated, almost to the point of needing insulin. This is possibly a side effect of her other treatment but is being watched closely.

Please pray for me. I've been feeling unwell for a week now, in what seems to be yet another manifestation of trouble following the anesthesia reaction/respiratory failure incident I had a couple of years ago. I've been getting bouts of lightheadedness and weakness that seem to come and go randomly, and it's made me fearful of exercise, of walking outside, of doing many everyday things. My photosensitivity -- one of the original issues I had -- has also seemed to be focused now on certain kinds of fluorescent lighting, like the lights in supermarkets or other "big box" stores; if I don't wear dark glasses I start feeling like a seizure is coming on. It's just been very wearying and disheartening. I'm going to see my neurologist this Thursday

I've been hesitating about posting, as I don't know what I'm asking people to pray about, but I have a friend who emigrated to Australia years ago, and for the past fifteen years or so we've been in regular touch by text and email. She was diagnosed with cancer two or three years ago and since her treatment it's been in remission. She suddenly stopped communicating in mid-September, and apart from a brief birthday greeting a few days after her last email I haven't heard a thing from her since. I sent her an e-card for her birthday ten days ago but it hasn't been opened. I just don't know what's happening to her; she's a technophobe so it could be that there's something wrong with her computer, she could be very busy, she could be in hospital with a recurrence of the cancer. Of course I fear the worst but I hope I'm wrong. Please would you pray for P, whatever her circumstances?

She already has an autistic child who must be about V's age, who goes to his school, from what I've gathered.
Prayers for all involved would be great, as it strikes me as being a great big bloody emotional mess which could hurt V a lot. He really takes things to heart and takes the weight of the world on his shoulders. His mum gave up work this year but now has to get a new job, so prayers that she finds something & is able to make a fresh start would be great.

As far as I know she was well until a couple of days ago and so it is very sudden for everyone. They are strong Christians and have the joy in the hope of meeting J. in heaven again and knowing she is in a joyful place, but I'm sure it must be a dreadful time for her family.

DP got a phone call from her nurse-practitioner yesterday, requesting a call-back. It didn't sound serious; in fact, DP had gotten some x-rays for an arthritic foot a couple of weeks ago and assumed the phone call was regarding that. When DP called this morning, though, her nurse-practitioner said that the radiologist studying DP's recent mammogram noticed some nodules that he wants watched for the next six months. The NP said that she was calling just as a heads-up, so that DP wouldn't be surprised or overly alarmed when her written results came in the mail.
I'm trying to curb my anxiety here...we have a friend who recently was diagnosed with breast cancer after a mammogram turned up something questionable and she wound up having a mastectomy within just a couple of weeks of the discovery; so I'm thinking that if the doctor had been more concerned about what he found on the film he'd have DP in for a biopsy/other tests immediately.
But the call still rattled me terribly. And while DP is keeping calm about it -- as she notes, she's had so many life-threatening medical conditions over the years and survived them she's not going to get upset about this new thing unless/until she has to -- obviously this isn't the kind of phone call one wants to get on a sunny Friday morning. A little while later she said, "I'm really tired...I'm taking a nap," which tends to be her body's first line of defense when she's stressed about something; she just can't stay awake and has to sleep for awhile.
Thanks for your prayers, everyone...more than anything, for some calm and a sense of perspective on our parts, and for skill/guidance on the part of the healthcare professionals following up on the findings.

Littler Miss M has actually had a week at home from hospital. Well sort of. Week was punctuated by three clinic visits for various tests and injections and by a general anaesthetic on another day for the fifth bone marrow biopsy. Doctors are happy with the numbers showing in tests. A different chemo drug is started this week after the first initial drug.

Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers.
I have to speak to a member of staff today about an outburst in the office on Friday (no, it's a different member of the team!) He had a mini-meltdown about having to carry out a particular task, even though it was always the plan for him to do this. I was on the phone to a contractor at the time and, by the time my call had ended, his shift had finished.
I feel as if I'm drowning. We are all extremely busy with extra project work and these continual episodes are more than I can cope with. I feel like a rubbish manager: my team isn't a team any more, it's just a group of individuals pulling in different directions. We've been too busy for too long and it shows no sign of stopping.
This person who had the outburst is my friend outside work - allegedly. Friends don't do this to each other.

Starting as I write this, according to local TV news, the most critical part of the current winter storm has just arrived in Atlanta. The big issue is liquid rain freezing on contact with the frozen ground, power lines and trees, especially such as softwood pines which break more easily as the ice builds up. So many hundreds of thousands of people in the metro Atlanta area may lose power (and, even more importantly HEAT, if the homes are all-electric such as mine). The freezing rain is forecast to continue until around sunrise tomorrow morning. The damage to the power grid could be sufficiently extensive that it could take over a week for some to get their power back. (On TV someone just said the situation is gradually getting worse.)
So, my prayers to the God of Love who holds all creation in hand, are that the actuality proves less bad than forecast. My prayers are for all who may be stuck in homes for days without heat, especially the very young, old, or in poor health. I'm praying for animals carelessly left outside or even worse, left chained outside. Prayers certainly for the people who must be outside, especially the workers repairing the damages, and medical emergency people.

Could I ask for prayers for a tricky work situation? I work in a team of three and the team leader is in many ways a pain in the arse whose decisions I don't always agree with. However her heart is in the right place and since she's taken over the role she's developed the service in interesting ways. The other team member is sneakily trying to undermine her and although I agree with a lot of her points I'm not happy with the way she's going about it. I feel trapped in the middle between them and I don't deal with conflict well

My brother in law, whose wife had a baby yesterday has just ended up in hospital again - apparently it is not a diabetic hypo, though that might be part of it, but his kidneys and failing and he has an irregular heartbeat. He is just being transferred to another hospital in the big city which will be better equipped to deal with it. At least at this hour of night that journey should be easier.

If your church is making you want to cry, it's not the place for you. It's not your fault (and possibly not theirs either) - it just isn't the right sort of church for you.
If it's feasible, why not take next Sunday off, and go and do something completely different instead (maybe go for a walk, visit a museum or a country house, whatever floats your boat), and have a think about whether there's a different church that you could try the following week. If there's one that appeals to you, see if they've got a web-site that'll tell you more about the sort of place it is.
Good luck!

Abagail- I have just moved from a Church in which I was feeling increasingly unhappy, for all sorts of reasons.
I was really apprehensive about leaving the few friends who 'got' me. I wondered and prayed about either attending my Parish church, or return to my Baptist roots.
I prayed a lot- and happened to meet the Vicar of my own Parish, in our local town. We had met once before, many years ago, yet he recognised me! It was easy for me to recognise him, as he is often pictured in our local newspaper.
I told him of my thoughts, and he immediately arranged to visit me. He scored a great hit with my non Church going partner, and prayed with us both.
I attended a number of services on a 'sit and see' basis, felt very comfortable, and am challenged by how much the Church is doing in the villages.
He is now in the process of transferring my License to him.

Back in January I was praying for my boss and his family (his dad has subsequently died, and his daughter spent 7 weeks in hospital, just out last week). I would ask for more prayers in his direction as he has done something less than sensible (not wrong or criminal) and got himself into a bit of a pickle. And his daughter is still very unwell.
This has left me continuing in charge of our team, stuck with the end result of the pickle and having to apologise to people because we can't deliver our service properly. There is currently no end in sight, which is stressing all of us.
I had to go to the cardiologist today because I've had a nasty irregular pulse for the last couple of months - the good news is my heart is fine, the bad news is that the pulse problem is caused by stress. I know it will settle down as I get used to the job, and I'm getting extremely positive feedback from both the team and my manager, but right now I could do with a bit of a break.

Thank you Piglet and The Weeder. The trouble is I really dont think changing churches is an option. Ive been through all this before. Three years ago I decided that the right thing would be to leave and I stayed away from my church for some weeks and tried a few others. But
it just didnt work.
For all its faults my church is familiar and I know people there (though most of the people I was most comfortable with have moved on for one reason or another). Ive been there a long time and I feel a lot of loyalty towards it. And I do things there (though not as much as I used to) and people seem grateful for what I do
And Ive always found new situations very difficult. Ive never been able to make friends easily and Im not easy to get on with
I think in a new church I would feel even lonelier than I do now.
I know that sounds like a list of excuses but I really feel that leaving wouldnt be helpful. I dont really know what the answer is. Were going through some big changes at the moment which Im finding difficult, and that, and the fact that Im approaching a landmark birthday (Im nearly 60) are combining to make things feel particularly bad now.
Thank you for your good wishes and your prayers. They are much appreciated.

I could use prayer right now. I'm trying to arrange finishing up my comprehensive exams by early-to-mid May. My job ends at the end of April, so to avoid paying May rent, I'm going to have to couch-surf as long as I have to still be around (before moving back to Detroit). My three committee members (one of whom doesn't use computers) seem to have conflicting schedules. I kinda feel like maybe I'm supposed to give up, but I don't want to.
And I think the hypomanic phase I've been in a few weeks now is coming to an end. Please pray that I don't sink too deeply into depression. I have too much I have to get done!
I have to dispense with most of my belongings, purchase a car (I can only keep what I can fit in it), finish mailing all my books home, finish one more paper, sit for a closed-book exam, schedule and do my oral defense, and now I don't even know what my time frame is. The longer I stay, the more it eats into the little bit of cash I have to use to buy the car and move (gas, food, hopefully I can find friends to stay with across the country and not pay for hotels).
And I really have no help with any of it.

Update: It looks like I might have a date for my defense. I haven't scheduled it yet, but a date's been approved by 2 out of my 3 committee members, and the third, my advisor, I know will be fine with it. WHEW! Thank God for that bit of encouragement.

Okay, I'm not going insane. The interviewer said he wanted copyediting but he didn't--he wanted strict, minimal proofreading, and apparently doesn't know the difference. ![[Ultra confused]](graemlins/confused2.gif)
Which means I can stop worrying about the Alzheimer's, but is also a warning that the job (even if I had been offered it) would have likely been under less than ideal circumstances. Thanks for praying, folks, I'm less freaked out now.

basically the interview process involves getting beaten up by bridge-dwelling trolls over and over again, until suddenly it stops. You cant take any of it to heart. This incident is an example of that.

And thank you for praying for me. I am still attending the Parish Church, and finding it suits me very well indeed. I have already been asked to do the Intercessions in a couple of weeks, and my new Vicar has applied for my licence to be transferred to him.
It is such a big congo that I worried about getting to know anyone, but the after Church coffee time is very 'newbie' friendly. Lots of round tables, so just by sitting down I am part of a group, who talk and are welcoming.
I have been asked to do the Intercessions in a few weeks, so that will be a start. Actually, i was asked for
And I was asked to introduce my self from the front at 2 of the Churches. I was so impressed at the Vicar taking my arrival seriously.

Ginny seems to be in much less pain and is more cheerful. She is still very weak.
Bob and Debbie are recovering. I have learned the story of the accident. Bob was driving and the car suddenly went off the road, down an embankment, and, in Debbie's words, "bounced from tree to tree". It is not clear why the car went off the road. Bob is pretty sure he didn't go to sleep, but he can't imagine what happened. About an hour after the crash, the car exploded. This means that it probably will not be possible to find out whether there was a mechanical failure. Debbie's mother is improving slightly.
In addition to praying for their recovery, please pray for the easing of the load of guilt Bob carries.
Thanks.

As he is 95 and has a dicky heart, there is a very strong chance he won't survive the surgery. On the other hand, he seems to be made of old boots and has survived all sorts of injuries in the recent past.
Either way, we are very worried. My mother-in-law is very confused and kept asking why they were at the hospital, which is a huge added stress on my partner and her brother.

Just when I think there's a light at the end of the tunnel which is not an oncoming train, the situation I'm dealing with coughs up a new bout of craziness even more crazy than the last bout of craziness.
Thank you for all those who are so strong in offering prayers. Thank you.
("Strong" isn't quite the word I mean. But I can't think of the right word right now.
I'm focusing on "Be still and know that I am God" and singing the first lines of "A Might Fortress Is Our God.")

I ask your prayers please for our elderly neighbours, I. and J., and their son, S. (who is in his early 50s). I. knocked on our back door a couple of hours ago asking me to come and see S., who had 'taken a turn'. When I got there he was on his face on the floor, fitting, with blood everywhere (his head had hit the table on the way down). I called an ambulance for them and he's away now to hospital. I. says he's fitted a few times before, due to alcohol (she's pretty sure he'd been drinking this time too). So prayers appreciated for all of them.

I heard this morning that a long-ago friend, who I still thought of as a friend even though it is decades since we met, collapsed and died at the weekend leaving his elderly mother without her main carer - he wasn't a shipmate [at least I don't think so] but was known to at least one shippie in the hospital chaplaincy circuit in Manchester. He was a Good Man.

My granddaughter, Miss M, has been coping well with chemo etc. However, she started another round of a different drug on Sunday night. Was in hospital till Wednesday afternoon and then was sent home. This is a particularly nasty round. She was back in hospital last night after vomiting all afternoon. The anti-nausea drug effect finished before the chemo effect. So horrible for anyone, but she's a tiny nine year old.
Prayers appreciated for her and for the family as it is very disruptive to the brother and sister.

Prayer would be appreciated for my friend and ex "mother in law" R who is currently in hospital awaiting surgery.
She suffers badly from mental health issues which prevented her from seeking medical help resulting in thrombosis and the possible loss of toes or even leg as she keeps refusing medication and treatment.
She is due to have angioplasty in the next day or so and it only when they can get circulation flowing freely that they will know whether she loses her toe or leg.
She is extremely scared, and her mental health issues make it worse especially the fact that she may not be able to keep the dog she dotes on, which is being looked after by friends, as she might have to move from her current home if she can no longer manage the stairs.
Please pray for inner peace and healing for all her health problems, and that not only her physical but mental health will be treated whilst she is an in-patient.

I went to see Little A today - he is all skin and bone and not at all well but he is chirpy enough. He was allowed home yesterday for two nights and will be back to the hospital tomorrow for more treatment. Because of all the other stuff he has now got Oral Thrush as well, no fun at all.

I've been having meetings at a nearby teaching hospital, undergoing evaluations to see if I am a candidate for surgery to have a gastric pacemaker installed. This is still being decided, but we've run out of other options to treat the digestive disorder I have (gastroparesis). I hope they'll come up with an answer in the next couple of days. I would value prayers.

My aunt (G) died two weeks before Easter and her funeral is tomorrow. She was 91 and her quality of life had been poor for some time. We weren't particularly close but I was fond of her and she was the last one left of my parents generation.
Please would you pray for me as I travel to attend the funeral and for my cousin H who I think is mentally and physically exhausted after caring for her mother for a long time.
I'm also worried because I've picked up that there are some tensions between my two cousins... I'd be grateful for prayers that everything goes smoothly.

Prayers are desperately needed for Laura, the young wife of the director of a choral group to which I belong.
Laura has been suffering from foot pain for some time. An electrical stimulation device was inserted into her spine in an effort to relieve the pain, but it only caused more discomfort from the get-go.
The device was removed and an MRI done, which revealed a "spot" in the area where the device had been (not on the spine) that is either an infection, pooled blood, or a tumor. Another MRI will be done to try to determine the exact nature of the "spot". If surgery is indicated, it will be a difficult surgery. Antibiotics are being administered in the likelihood that the "spot" is an infection.
Laura is in intense pain.
She is the breadwinner of her family, as the salary we are able to pay our director is not enough to support himself, Laura and their young daughter.
Please pray for Laura and her family.

For information my Mum is 85, has dementia and is unable to walk, used her hands, chew food or talk. We have a care clause stating "no resuscitation" because of the poor quality of life she has.
Please pray that I will get a doctor's appointment on Monday and be well enough to visit her; for my brothers who have had a closer relationship with her; and for nursing staff both at the hospital and the care home; and for me to be able to cope with making last minute travel arrangements and decisions with my mental health problems, and to be free from pain with the traveling.

I really need to get my work project ready for a deadline in about 6 weeks so prayers for success without stress would be much appreciated.
I had to submit my paper without anyone else to read it so I'm praying it's accepted, as there's embarrassment at stake here. I really need it to be published.
I am really worried about visiting cat who has injured his front paw, hopefully only a sprain but it's really swollen now. Any other cat we would have taken to the vet by now, but he really hates to be touched and also literally knows the word "vet" and jumps thirty feet in the air at the mention of it. If he's not improved by tomorrow we'll have to try to take him in, but I'm worried it won't be worth the emotional trauma, and also that he'll be impossible to catch.
Also, finance monster needs banning.
visiting cat's "mum" is now visiting Ethiopia because her sister died. Her son is still in jail in Pakistan. Poor woman. Prayers for her to get through it all please.

R goes into hospital today [accompanied by Himself and Herself] with a tentative date of Tuesday or Wednesday for the bypass surgery. Prayers and upholding appreciated.
Meanwhile I think I must have left my ATM card in the machine yesterday after all that kerfuffle so praying it will have been handed in to security otherwise I have to order a new one and that will take about a week!

I need fervent prayers for the next month or so. This is potentially for a very HAPPY thing.
As many know, I've been living in my "canvas palace" for going on a year, this time around (we did it before, 6 years ago, for about 9 months). It's a tent. it's a nice tent, and we're mostly comfortable. (understand, it's a 12x12x8 ft tent that has better insulation than even arctic-grade yurts. it's like a little house. we're not suffering in a little 2 man dome jobby) but it's not sustainable for long term for two reasons: namely, heat and bears. It is well insulated for a tent, but it still doesn't hold the heat as nicely as a hard shell would. Therefore, my heating bills this last winter have been astronomical.
Plus, I live in perhaps the second beariest area in the beariest state of the US. We have grizzlies all over the place, as well as a small but scrappy black bear population. We coexist pretty darn well, here, and I know my stuff. I have not yet had a curious bear, but it's always on my mind. A hard shell with a real door that can keep a bear out would be AWFULLY NICE.
Also, in the not-necessary-but-oh-please category, my son and I really need separate sleeping spaces, I need a lot more bookshelf space, and in the winter we have to keep the window flaps closed so it's kind of dark and dreary in here.
enter two things - the high school shop class has built a very small "house" (essentially, it's just the box) that they are about to sell by sealed bid for the cost of materials as a minimum bid. this means all up to code, well insulated, and zero labor costs.
second thing - when by aunt died she left me some money. I didn't know she had any money. surprise! and the amount she left should just cover the cost of the mini house plus getting it moved and building a foundation. assuming no one outbids me.
We originally heard that we were the only ones interested. woohoo! but I found out today that two other people (at least) are preparing bids.
With a sealed bid, you get the minimum amount and then submit a bid that is hopefully higher than the other bids. you don't know what they are.
If I don't get the house, the money I have could pay to begin a small house of my own, but it would probably be a year or two to be able to move in. I can live with that. but I really want to get this place! it's such a perfect solution! and I would have a fully paid-for home.
They haven't opened the bid yet, but they will in the next few weeks. If everyone could say a little prayer for me to be the highest bidder - light candles, cross appendages, dance naked around a fire, whatever your "thing" is, I would so appreciate it!

for Comet's little house. May the other bids be small and inadequate.
I would appreciate prayers,please, about a tricky work situation. I have been refused facility time to attend our union's national conference. To meet the union's proportionality rules, most of our delegates must be women - unfortunately, I'm the only female activist in our branch who's fully trained in her role and willing to attend. (This is something we're working to address for the future.)
My boss is citing an important project as the reason why I can't go - the same project that he told me last week was low priority and could easily be worked around other jobs. The message HR is being given by my managers is not the same one I've been getting.
Advice from our regional office is to raise a formal grievance, but my branch secretary and I don't want to do that, as it would sour our working relationship. I could take annual leave, but it sets a precedent for future delegates and my manager is potentially breaking our facilities agreement by refusing.
Please pray that this will be resolved amicably - or at least with as little bloodshed as possible. Thank you.

We surfed the waves this week, 'til last period today with tired kids and tired teacher. I have to get the able kids moved into a more appropriate set. Managing a larger class means I don't hve time to sit down with my wee souls and coach them on their reading skills. The able kids are aghast and the silly comments made by some of my more immature padawans, eg. "We're supposed to read on our own, hur hur (as if anyone would do that!)"

Mad Cat - it sounds as if you've got a combination class of what we used to call the "weak but willing" with the behaviour issues mixed in. It might be worth trying to find out what the behaviour is masking. You may be looking at a lot of undiagnosed dyslexia in there for example - verbally bright, but poor on paper - and challenging behaviour is a good way to cover up, plus putting down anyone who looks as if they may be weaker than you to bolster their battered self-esteem. But 24 is too big a class to deal with like that.
prayers too for those with battered self-esteem, recognised and unrecognised learning difficulties

Yesterday as I was meandering home from church I saw a crowd outside the local Anglican church hall. It was the First Communion service for the local Catholic Church*, the Parish church for the school where I volunteer. I said a quick prayer for the children, and their futures. It's amazing how well they polish up for special occasions.
* The Catholics are using the Anglican hall while the insurance is sorted on their own church - a not unusual arrangement here over the last 3 years.

R will be discharged this evening and then will come and stay with us for a few days before going to his own home less than 100 yards away. We are more geared for convalescence than his own place. I still think it is a bit soon but then hospitals are full of sick people so...

I hurt my back in a self-inflicted gardening incident. It's taking much, much longer to heal than I thought, mainly because I keep doing silly things like standing up and going to bed, which keep aggravating it again. On Thursday, I have to drive for three hours to get to Devon, then drive back again on Sunday. Normally, I'd be looking forward to it, but I'm afraid that all the driving, plus sleeping in a strange bed, will aggravate my back again. It's been dragging on for over a month now and I'm so tired of being in pain - it makes everything so much harder. Your prayers would be appreciated.

Thank you for prayers - the doctor thankfully gave me the injection I needed, and I have an open appointment in case I need another one within the next 6 months. After that they don't do any more so if the condition recurs after 2 injections they have to consider surgery. So I am hoping that this will do the trick.

I asked for prayer on here a month or more ago as tensions have been building up locally over a proposed gas mine. 800 police were already on their way here this week for a confrontation next Monday morning with 10,000 people expected to be blockading the site, but an announcement was made today that the gas company's licence has been suspended. Hooray and Hallelujah! It is an enormous relief.
Meanwhile a tremendous sense of community has developed at the blockade. Google Bentley blockade for videos.
I pray that people will rise up successfully against fracking and other pollution wherever it occurs.

School management is trying to disuade my colleague A from bringing an official grievance against me. The meeting we had with our HoD L and the regent C didn't go well. I explained my position and made my apology. She wasn't happy with this outcome, turned on the tears and asked to speak to C in private. She also made reference to 'the other occasions' on which I'd done something to upset her. She didn't say what these were, and her record of events was factually inaccurate and biased to a foolish degree, leading me to think that her grievance is vexatious.
She leaves the school in June at the end of her probationary year and therefore has no incentive to resolve things. I'm concerned about the amount of trouble she might be able to cause in the meantime.
Please pray for her. She is an unhappy person, afflicted with an eating disorder and all the attendant misery that such problems bring.

Ken's death has been abnormally upsetting for me: my father also has pancreatic cancer, and is unlikely to see the year out (he said, with British understatement). A few brief weeks ago, he was going to die imminently - a surgical procedure has allowed him to dodge that particular bullet (which would have coincided with Big Exams for the Torlets), but time is inevitably limited.
I just feel... sad. Sad for him because he's always been fit and healthy and incredibly active, sad for my mum (married for 40+ years), sad for my kids. And I am all mixed up inside, trying to do x, y and z, and doing none of those things very well.

The gentleman's name was Rev. Thomas Sinclair, Clerk to the Presbytery of Lewis. He was a man of deep faith and kindly humour; he loved the Church and served her faithfully all his years. He leaves a wife and son: please pray for them, and all who knew and loved him. And also please pray for the driver, who must be devastated. Thank you.

Special prayers for anyone who's been affected by Ken's death. My father died four years ago, shortly after being diagnosed with myeloma (a type of bone marrow cancer).

I had lost both my parents to cancer by the time I was 40, Dad quickly to stomach cancer just before I got married, a decade later my mum died in less than a year to bowel cancer/liver secondaries.

Three weeks to go before Conference and I'm still being denied facility time, even though I can prove that I don't need to be in the office that week. I need to write a very careful email to my line manager today, suggesting a compromise. So far, he has tried to portray himself as a touchy-feely manager (which he isn't!), while making me sound rather incompetent to our senior HR manager. The truth is that I'm ahead of schedule, which he would know if he bothered to speak to me. Your prayers for some good words and an improved relationship would be appreciated.

I have had a talk with the occupational health people at work and it feels as if they are going to bully me to return sooner than I think is sensible. Apparently it is bad for me to be off work so long, and I will be better if I go back. The OH adviser showed no interest in talking to my GP or anybody else concerned and ignored my worries that my manager will not co-operate with a phased return to work. After a 30 minutes phone call, she knows what is best for me.
Please pray for wisdom for me, that I will work out what is best for me to do, and the courage to do it. And praise God for my wonderful, supportive husband and all NHS staff involved in my care.

I've often asked for prayer about a member of my staff who has been repeatedly disciplined. It has all come to a head and he has now been suspended and is likely to be dismissed. While this is a relief in some ways because it's all beeen dragging on so long, his sudden disappereance is going to put a terrible strain on his colleagues- particularly the rest of my team. We are just getting into some work that will now have to be delayed and inconvenience people. Please would you pray for my team to be able to cope with their workload, for patience and understand from our customers and for my boss to stop believing that I can do three things at once whilst whistling the National Anthem?

I feel awkward asking for prayer here again when I very rarely contribute to any other thread. But
Im really panicking about health problems again. This time its abdominal pain which doesnt have any obvious cause. After hoping it would go away for two weeks I saw the doctor last Friday. She didnt know what it was, asked me to have blood tests. Then yesterday she phoned me asking me to get one of the tests done again as that result was slightly unusual. Im now panicking, thinking that slightly unusual is doctor-speak for youve got cancer. She also wants me to have a scan dont know how long Ill have to wait for that. And in the meantime it all hurts! And theres nobody I can talk to about it. And I just feel frightened. Sorry.

Got back from the doctor, who is not a specialist but has read over my records. He is of the opinion that this is rib/muscle pain which is basically normal for this stage after the surgery I had, and he doesn't think anything dire is happening, thank God. He is referring me to a specialist just in case anything dire does develop later, so I'll have someone who knows what's going on. Thanks for praying for me!

Just received an email from my cousin to say that our much-loved aunt (96) died on Friday.
I haven't seen her for years. I knew she was elderly. I didn't know how to say goodbye, and couldn't bring myself to, so like a wimp, I put this off, and off, indefinitely.
In some ways it's better to remember her as she used to be - the strong, kind, generous personality with a perfect memory who was always there for me, rather than as she became in extreme old age.
Please pray for the repose of her soul and also for my uncle, who will miss her terribly. They knew each other since they first met in the 1920s, and subsequently had a long and very happy marriage. Uncle is unlikely to last long without her.

Abigail, the important thing is that they have checked for the Big Scary thing, and haven't found anything. So it is something - an allergy, an intolerance, an infection - and someone, somewhere, in some unglamorous specialism of the medical profession, will recognise. So ask to be referred to another clinic.
And while dietary advice can be faddish, sometimes it doesn't hurt to look at what and how you eat and see if there are patterns.

In just two months my elderly mother has gone from being her old self to someone increasingly confused and in need of care. Tomorrow I will travel down to see her and try to invoke Social Services. She has always firmly rejected this before, but if you can't remember how to get in your own front door, you need help.
She also has a long-lasting pain she only just told me about, for which she's being referred to the hospital for examination. It may be that she needs an operation on her pancreas.
There are good days and not so good days, but the speed of this has taken me by surprise. In Aprill, two months ago, we were chatting about holiday plans for her 80th birthday in August. She was lively and animated. The way things are now I don't know whether she will be spending her birthday in a care home or in hospital and whether she will even know it's her birthday.
I know this is just how things are at the moment and that they won't stay this way for ever. Time will resolve it and it's just a question of both of us getting through it. You can't turn the clock back - but I wish it was possible to do something to reverse all this.

I have just heard from my friend apostate630, who I have referred to as S in the past here, that his lymphoma is a chronic form that isn't fatal and can be treated with drugs and managed. Thanks to all who prayed.

After a recent intruder and robbery (whilst I was in the house....gulp!)our diocesan colleagues felt they could no longer guarantee our safety in our current abode so today we move to a new (somewhat less well appointed...)house. We have also just heard that my husband's mother has died so we will be returning to the UK briefly to attend her funeral. A lot of change and stress.
We'd value your prayers.
Posted by Ariel (# 58) on

Thank you everybody. I visited my mother yesterday and found her lucid and altogether less confused, although the signs of dementia are beginning to become clearer. She's finally agreed to have domestic help in and I immediately arranged for someone to pop in for half an hour twice a week and do whatever's necessary. She now knows if she's ill there will be someone local to help and it will get her used to the idea of carers although I'm referring to this as "domestic help".
I had a chat with her doctor and felt reassured. She's still on the waiting list for a formal diagnosis, after which social services should be able to take over the care arrangements. This should happen in the autumn. Meanwhile a neighbour who is actually a carer has been given a spare set of keys, and my mother knows she can go to her if she gets stuck. The confused periods are her being stressed out, I think (part of this new world that I'm trying to get used to).
I feel there is light at the end of the tunnel - though there may well be twists and turns before we get there yet - so thank you all for your support and prayers.

MrsBeaky, my condolences for your loss, I hope and pray the arrangements go as smoothly as they can.

A colleague, today, who is reasonably in a position to know, suggested I simply ask my boss for a three-year contract so I can do a PhD without paying for it. As if this is a thing people (I) can get just by asking. So, if my project goes great, and if the sky were to hypothetically start raining three-year contracts... I might be able to switch the focus of my anxiety from job hunting to PhD angst.

Prayer appreciated for my brother who has suddenly developed disturbing symptoms of a detaching retina in the last 36 hours. Visit to GP who sent him straight for emergency visit to eye specials. Told all seemed well but needed watching. Visit last night to ER at Eye Hospital in Sydney who said the same things.
As hours pass, the possibility of a detached retina recedes but pray appreciated.

Prayers for all. Lord, in your mercy....
Please would you pray for me? I fell and sprained my ankle last week while away on a short break. I dosed myself up with painkillers, put and elastic bandage on and hobbled around the following day...
Although I can (could) walk on it perfectly well after a day or two, the skin around the ankle is swollen and painful to touch and the sensitivity extends about half way up my leg on the outside. It aches constantly and is driving me mad. I have a doc's appointment in the morning, hoping to be referred for some physio and to be prescribed some anti-inflammatories. I could take ibuprofen now, but I don't want to "mask" the symptoms tomorrow morning at the doc's.
Google is NOT my friend as I have scared myself with what it might be.
And I was particularly proud of my slender ankles...the only part of my legs I would display in public. Not now.
For us all - Lord knows, we need prayer

My work-life has been interesting the past few years. I respect my current manager enough to be taking seriously her suggestion that I think about whether or not I'm in the area that suits me best at present. She's been making noises about redeployment. Later this week, we have a meeting with HR. It is not a disciplinary meeting (I've come close but so far avoided disciplinary procedures), but I might want to bring a union rep.
I don't want to move to an area of work I'm not enthusiastic about, just to make management's lives easier, but I don't want to be an idiot creating problems for myself and other people either.

Christine would have celebrated 30 years of Solemn Profession next year, and has always been my idea of a model religious - hardworking, prayerful, community-building, and loving. She also had a kick-ass sense of humour, which was still in action when I saw her last weekend.

Please pray for my friend Ginny. She is ninety-four years old and broke her hip about a month ago.
She has been gradually failing over the past several years. Last December she fell and broke her pelvis. She recovered slowly from that, but she said more than once that she wished she would die.
Yesterday a friend visited her, and Ginny failed to recognize her. She was crying and complaining of pain. The nurse gave her something to relieve the pain. All attempts at rehabilitation have been abandoned; she just doesn't have enough physical strength.
Please pray for freedom from pain and peace of mind.

Miss M has just started what we hope is the last intensive round of chemo. Done in clinic three times a week, not one week in two admission to hospital. It's knocking her around a bit, big black eyes, tiredness, nausea despite medication, joint pain. It will probably cause a second round of drug induced diabetes, so she takes her own blood sugar levels every few hours and has some idea of the meaning of the readings. A parent has to wake her at 3:00 am for another finger prick and reading.
Doctors are happy with her progress but it's hard seeing her so washed out and lethargic again.

Prayers for wisdom appreciated. Without going into too many details, a visiting preacher crossed a line and I ended up walking out of church yesterday. Having been going for a year and been relatively settled, it was quite upsetting to be compelled to walk out. Am considering writing to the church leadership, but given it was a visitor it may be better to let it pass by, though it gives me nagging doubts over the judgement of those who invited him.

Gah! I actually managed to get in to work today, for the first time after several months of sick leave, only to be told that I will be job-hunting a couple of months earlier than expected. I had assumed that I would at least be able to get back to working full-time stably in my current job but now I am not even sure of that. I am not sure what to pray for beyond:

I really need prayer. Or something.
Coming up to my 60th birthday and very depressed about it. 60 years of failure
Minor health issues.
Panicking about things I'm being asked to do at church. I dont seem able to explain that I want to go on helping but just dont feel I can cope with the way I'm being asked to do it.
Not sure what church is for anymore anyway. Not comfortable with the way they do things, and most of the people I knew have gone. I think God has too. But I need it. It's all I've got (other than work - which isn't all that great either.)
Have never had any friends cant talk to people. And now I'm starting to feel increasingly isolated from the rest of the world.
Loneliness isn't just about being alone, sometimes being in a group of people but not part of it is even more lonely. Most of my life has been like that and I'm used to it but its getting harder and harder to bear.

I currently have a flare up of my immune system (I say currently but I seem to have had various rolling problems for a month now) and would like to request prayers for managing that.
I'm also evaluating my lifestyle at the moment, part of my managing my bipolar disorder is by controlling my social interactions but I seem to have drifted too far the other way now and become more reclusive. I need to get out more and build friendships and would like prayers to move forward with that. I might join a sewing group in the village on Monday, please pray that I can settle in there.
Many thanks to you all.

We didn't appoint anyone to my vacancy yesterday due to the strike action. We've shortlisted to two candidates - one of whom scored highly, but doesn't appear to want this job - just a job. The other candidate would need more of their skills updating, but would be a better psychological fit for the team, who really don't need any more upheaval. After sleeping on it, I want to appoint the second candidate but may need to convince my colleague. (Whose team is it, anyway...)

I know a lot of people are out of work right now. I'm one of them. I'm getting worried this week, because I have a huge bill due on the 20th and no way to pay it. I do have people to fall back on - well, my parents, who have been supporting me quite a bit lately. [eta: My dad's diagnosis was changed recently from dementia to Alzheimer's, and my mom's got plenty to deal with with that. Plus I don't want to drain their money; they're working-class retirees.] Moving back home to Detroit has been so expensive, and my severance pay was gone just like that. I've been unemployed only since the end of April, but I've never been unemployed this long (even though it's the 3rd time I've been laid off in my life).
Being in Detroit probably doesn't help. The unemployment rate here is pretty high. It's a hirer's market, and I can't imagine anyone wanting to hire a PhD student embarking on her dissertation.
Plus, I'm uninsured. "Obamacare" has been a great option for me, but since I lost my job, having zero income means you're supposed to go through Medicaid, so you don't get discounts to purchase insurance through the exchange. It turns out it can take 30-45 days to hear back about Medicaid once you apply, and I'm waiting now. They're probably hoping you'll find a job and get insurance that way. I'm hoping I do too before that time frame is up!
AND, the state of California has my car's title (long, complicated saga involving the smog check and my moving out of state). I mailed in my paperwork - the state that's home to Silicon Valley handles these things with a P.O. Box in Sacramento - on the last day in June. It can take up to a month, I was told. Again, the home of Silicon Valley. So anyway, I'm without a car, which means I can only look for jobs I can get to via public transit.
I have resumes out there. With any luck, I'll land a job at the university that's within walking distance, but I don't have high hopes. Alternately, I would like to wind up at the university where I used to work. I can get there by bus within 30-40 minutes, I think. It is just one bus, at least.
So prayers would be really, really appreciated. I'm also still healing from the way I was laid off, from a church, by a priest who tried to sell it like she was helping me answer God's call for me to be in Detroit (I'd told her before, in what I thought was a pastoral conversation, that I couldn't discern anything about my calling other than wanting to end up in Detroit). Not being able to get on with my life isn't helping.
I seriously am out of cash. Thankfully, I have a roommate who owns her house, and who won't let me starve, although it is putting pressure on her having to support me. Also thankfully, I have enough of my antidepressant and mood stabilizer to last till September. I'm not sure my asthma meds will last that long, but hopefully a job or Medicaid will come through.
Things aren't dire - I don't want to give that impression. And I'm sure there are good lessons to learn in this (I've already learned a few). I am praying that God will help me to grow through it and to perceive anything God might be trying to say right now. I don't believe God brings about difficulties, but I do believe God uses them for good. I just want to be able to pay my few bills and buy food without my roommate and parents having to bear the burden.
It is good to be back in Detroit, though. If I were under this kind of pressure back in California, I wouldn't fare so well, mood-disorder-wise.
Sorry this was so long.

Missed edit window on this: I've relied on public transit all 9 years I was in CA, but it's different in Detroit. Detroit's HUGE, geographically, so it takes longer to get around; and it's complicated or impossible to get to certain suburbs, thanks to racial and socioeconomic prejudice that has always blocked regional transit systems. That's why not having a car severely limits my job prospects. But I'd rather have a nearby job even with a car...if I can find one! All I do all day, it seems, is search for and apply for jobs online. I usually am able to send out about 3 or 4 per day. I heard back re: 2 of them. One, I'd accidentally applied for; it's too far away and I can't get there without a car. The other, I was given an interview where we were to meet at a Tim Horton's that took me over an hour - 2 buses and about a mile & a half of walking - to get to [wash, rinse, repeat for the trip back], and the lady didn't even show. The rest, no word at all. It's quite discouraging. I'm sure many people, many of you, perhaps, are going through this too, so I'll keep you all in my prayers as well. Please keep me in yours!
When I moved to CA, I fell into a great job (for the first 5 years I had it, anyway) and a great apartment (nothing fancy, just perfect for me), and felt I'd experienced divine provision for the first time in my life! Maybe I'm learning the different forms provision takes. But nothing feels right this time.
Also, my roommate has a lot of cats, plus mine, plus a moldy basement, plus the weather here (humidity), means I'm having lots of trouble with asthma.

I am struggling with appointing a new person to my team. I know which two candidates i don't want, but am torn between the other two.

There are certain pressures coming from my colleague and my manager about this, which are not helping - neither does the pressure I'm putting on myself.

My school's in California. The local schools (a) don't have my field; and (b) require lecturers to have a PhD already, in the precise field they'll be teaching. They have their own grad students to use as well. But I'm keeping an eye out.
I was surprised - this is an example of how it's a hirer's market - even the local community colleges require a PhD in the exact field.
TessaB - I had a similar situation a while back. I'm praying for your peace of mind, as it's probably nothing, but that is a distraction for you in the meantime!

I could really use some help. I'm scared all the time, having nightmares so often that I'm approaching a sleep-deprived zombie state, and I've lost all hope that this is a state that is going to change. Given how long the little group who has been maliciously attacking me have been at it, I'm not sure there's anything that could reassure me that another attack isn't right around the corner, but I need something to change. And given the nature of the last attack I'm finding it really difficult to ask anyone for help, or even do anything to take care of myself better (I have a toothache and really should go to the dentist, but...)
And I'm finding it really difficult not to hate them for warping my thinking so much and making me so paranoid and afraid.
So I guess I'd appreciate prayers for something here to change.

I exercised extreme bad judgement this summer: I ignored two letters from my union benefits office and in fact, never opened the envelopes! Z is not best pleased. I was not expecting to owe them money this early as a portion of my earnings is supposed to keep the accounts solvent at least six months a year, if not nine! I have consequently lost our health insurance, but Z gets insurance from her job the first of next month.
I consequently am going to be at least a week's gross salary out of pocket for continuing coverage or COBRA. I do not want to go on her plan because I like Blue Cross/Blue Shield. This month I may have to pay cash for all of my scrips and may barely have the money to do that, as there has not been much work this summer until recently.
Prayers needed for clear thinking and intelligent decision-making in these matters. I may be able to get a stop-gap policy: I'll just have to pay the exorbitant cost of COBRA for a couple of months. I may have to raid my pension fund again.... I really wish I were an Englishman: I wouldn't have these problems!
Thanks for praying for an affordable resolution!

please pray for the soul of Bobby, an elder in a village I used to live. He was a leader in the russian orthodox church, and introduced me to the church when I was a child. It wasn't a smooth introduction ( ) but I learned a lot from him and had a great respect for him.
At the ripe age of 90-something he rolled his 4-wheeler last week hauling fish from the fishwheel and had a lot of injuries. he died from internal bleeding this morning. It's a huge loss for the village of Nikolai, and his many children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

This beautiful vibrant, loving woman has left us. All who love her are in shock. Only 42 years old, with a loving husband and two amazing children.
Rest eternal grant to her, O Lord;
And let light perpetual shine upon her.

Needy me, here. (me me me mememe!)
I am in a bind that I'm sure is my own damn fault but I need a LOT of patience and calmness and do-not-lose-your-shit-ness to get through this little mess, and even-temperedness isn't exactly a personal strength, shall we say. And because of the nature of the thing I have nowhere to vent and I'm really not any good at not-venting either, and I'm all twisty over it and ARGH!
The next week or so is going to take all the patience, diplomacy, and pure superkarma good luck I can muster. A magic wand would help, too.

Travelling mercies needed as I take 12 teenagers to a hot country. WHY DID I VOLUNTEER FOR THIS? WHY?
Also I have to get up at a quarter to three. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY
Also, Big Thing got off to a good start last week. May it come to a successful completion.
And may each hour's sleep tonight yield 2 hours' rest, and may I not be seated amidst a family with 3 small children under 5, as I have been on the last 2 flights of this ilk. Also, may I bring the teens back alive and well.

Thank you in advance for your prayers: please pray that I am successful in getting medical expenses paid for an on the job injury paid from an injury back in February and that there are no out of pocket expenses due to the greediness of the insurer and the incompetence of the medical staff. I shall see my cardiologist next month for a directed verdict that I am free of heart disease and that the injury was only temporarily elevated blood pressure, i.e. tachycardia. The attending doctor was surly and did not think it would be covered. He does not deserve his fee if he does not change his diagnosis!

My 10 year old niece has discovered yet another foodstuff she is allergic to. This is getting ridiculous. Please pray that this stops before there is nothing left that she can eat. And pray too that she recovers quickly from this reaction and the family can enjoy the last days of their holiday.

Praying for all.
For my best friend, whose difficult relative has become utterly intolerable to him. He wants to talk seriously to me about this, and I have a feeling that he wants to move in with me.
I did prepare a room for that possibility, it was one of the things I had in mind when moving to somewhere which is really too big for one, but it is also working as a laundry room, and various other things, and having someone around is going to be very difficult. I have had him here before when he has been unwell, and it isn't easy to abandon the living habits of a lifetime for very little in return but an impersonal appreciation.
So I think prayers for me as well.
I had a brief comment from the warped part of my brain that maybe Jesus has that sort of reaction to some of us with regard to the room preparation process, and how well we are fitted to fit in there.
