prayer request

gagirl
Being around on this planet for some 58 years or so I have met many people. Of all these people I can only claim to have 3 friends over the years who I could count on through thick and thin. The guy to bail you out of jail or give you his last beer or cigarette without even flinching. The friend who would loan you $100 and not ask why. The friend who tells your wife yah he was at my house last night. A friend that every time he'd come over would bring beer and when you went to his house he handed you one before even saying hi. If your car broke down and you called him he'd ask where can I pick you up. These friends are few and far between. One I buried 15 years ago, the second I will bury tomorrow. If any of you have ever had a friend like this please say a prayer for them and for mine. Bob, you'll be sorrowfully missed by me but even more so by your family.


I want to thank all of you that offered their thoughts and prayers.
Bob hired me at the auto parts store that he managed back in June of 1969. I was fresh out of high school and had been sworn into the Army. Because I wouldn't be 18 for a few more months and the fact that my AIT didn't have an opening until early the following year I had some time to kill. Bob was buried this morning witch included a beautiful service and a an amazing eulogy from his 3 children.
The one thing though that I will probably never know or understand was how did he ever get the Budweiser truck to deliver to his house.


Thanks again to all.

    My mom was hospitalized on 31 January for a hysterectomy and bladder tightening surgery. Three days later she was rushed into emergency surgery for a ruptured intestine. Her gallbladder and appendix were removed and a portion of her small intestine. The surgeon said that due to the thin walls of the intestine he placed a colostomy bag so that the intestine could strenghthen and he would remove it in about six months. She was in ICU afterward for about five weeks. She was then transfered out to a regular room and has been in rehabilitation to rebuild her strength.

    Yesterday they sent her back to ICU. Her heart rate was extremely elevated and white blood count had dropped drastically. She is now on dialysis and they are trying to determine where she is harboring an infection. She has gone from 230lbs to 190 (lost 40 pounds) in the seven weeks that she has been hospitalized due to her inability to hold any food down. She has been throwing up anything she consumes.

    My father passed away in December and she may not be fighting back like she should.

    Please pray for her.

    I'm having shoulder surgery tomorrow afternoon. To reattach the tendon to the top of my arm. 6 weeks with it in a sling. Dr. said not to move the upper arm at all. About a hour surgery. It's going to be a long time until July.

    I ask all of you who believe tonight to say a prayer for our soldiers and their family. As the battle of Fallujah continues, perhaps winds down, can we unite and put politics and personal grudges aside for just a few minutes to offer a prayer for those who fight and those that wait.

    Some close family friends lost there daughter today less than a mile from my home. Rebecca was with her church youth group along the Washougal river Sunday afternoon when she told her Friends she was going to inter-tube by herself a little ways down the seemingly calm river and would return in 45 minutes. After a hour her Friends became concerned and started searching and then called 911 for assistance. The sheriffs departments search and rescue unit searched into the early morning and then resumed searching after the sunrise this morning (I joined the search after learning about the missing girl unaware who she was until I saw her mother at the rivers bank)We searched all along the banks while divers searched under rocks and in the deep eddies that are prevalent along that portion of the river. We prayed that she was safe and possibly only lost. Her body was found almost 24 hours after disappearing less then a hundred yards from where she was last seen.

    Rebecca who was only 17, was involved in auto accident just a year ago and was in a coma for two weeks and was hospitalized for months during her recovery.
    The last words I had with her a few weeks past were how fragile life was and how I felt her life had been spared for great things in her future. She was a very sweet Innocent young lady and now she is gone.

    If you could please say a prayer for her, and her family.

    I am not usually one to ask for prayers here but I could really use them right now. I can't go into details but I'm sick to my stomach right now with frustration. It is hard when you do the right thing and you're honest and the powers that be think otherwise.

    Please have a prayer and kind thought for Wanda.
    Jay Wesley Core, my father, passed recently.

    Veteran of WWII and KHP Trooper for thirty years (1953-1983)with the Kansas Highway Patrol.

    Prayers for strength and comfort for Wanda would be greatly appreciated as he was the center of her world as she was for him.

    and for those who understand pegs down.


    Thanks to all of you.

    I don't care what your religious persuasion is, or even if you pray, all I ask is if you do pray please say a prayer for my hubbie. If you don't pray, just think positive thoughts for him.

    Since his two surgeries last year he has had a lingering, raspy voice. At first we thought it was from having major surgery in February and then having another the next month (March for those of you who are calendar challenged). We thought at first that having a tube down his throat had irritated it and it would just take time to recover.

    As time passed he didn't improve, but had sinus issues, bronchitis, etc. so still no large alarm bells sounding. Went to have the bronchitis taken care of a few weeks ago and the GP sent him to an ENT.

    He saw the ENT yesterday. He has a growth on his vocal cords. He is scheduled for out patient surgery on the 16th to have it removed. They will biopsy the growth and go from there.

    Some of you may recall he had prostate surgery last February. His PSA has not dropped to 0 yet and now we have this growth. We need prayers and well wishes, lots of them.

    Thanks folks.

    If you can spare a moment, please pray for my family. My grandmother passed away last night. It was not wholly unexpected. She would have been 92 next month and she had been admitted to hospice care a couple weeks ago.

    She was, if not the biggest influence on my life, one of the biggest influences in all things.

    She held all the very desirable qualities one looks for in a person:
    Loving
    Kind
    Devout Christian
    Hard working
    Smart as a whip even with minimal education
    Writer of long letters
    Tender
    Stern
    A wonderful story teller
    Beautiful
    Giving
    Self deprecating
    A great cook
    A great baker
    Loyal
    An accomplished seamstress
    A farmer
    A fisher
    A gardener
    Dutiful wife
    Doting mother of 4
    and if you think there is some other quality that should be on a list of greatness, she is that too, most assuredly.

    I don't usually ask for prayers from this group, but I am now. My youngest daughter is adopted and we just got word that her birth mother passed away a couple of days ago. This alone is bad enough, but she just lost her birth father about six weeks ago. She was blessed by having four parents, by being adopted, but now she has lost three of them and is having a hard time. Your prayers for her would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    A good friend's 18month old nephew was shot through the heart with a pnuematic finish nailer. The nail was removed through surgery, and he is recovering in ICU listed as stable but critical condition.

    I will explain the story later, but for now please pray for him, or at least keep a good thought for those who don't pray.

    As some people on the board know, my wife is a stomach cancer patient and we decided a while back that she should split her remaining time between NH with me and OH, where her entire family lives. Well she has run into problems with some of the many meds she takes and is not doing well at all. She's at her parents home right now, but is facing being put into an inpatient care facility very soon. I would be very greateful to the members here if you would remember my family in your prayers for both Nora's health and recovery, as well as the stress, sadness and fear that covers the whole situation and all of us involved.

    Thank you.

    Please pray for my dear friends Greg and Tammy. They lost their daughter to cancer two years ago, and it has taken over their lives. They separated a week ago, but still love each other very much. They are both lost in grief and need to get back together. They have agreed to see a marriage counselor, but they need prayers that it will work. As one who knows what the loss of a child can do to a marriage, my heart goes out to both of them.
