Prayer Request
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.

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.0 -
Not something I would usually ask for. My wife's little sister is going in for open heart surgery on the 23rd. She is six years old and a precious little girl. 0 -
My family has of late been plagued by physical misfortunes. My father was released from the hospital Sunday recovering from pneumonia, my grandmother lost feeling in her left foot and while settling into a chair at the doctor's office fell and broke it. My sister is still in the hospital after having surgery to remove scar tissue from her intestines. She was diagnosed with endometriosis in her late 20's and had a full hysterectomy. The endometriosis had spread to her lower intestines and they had to remove some of this while performing the surgery. She has been plagued with scar tissue growth ever since. She is now at the point where no solid food will pass through her and is being tube fed. In her last surgery they removed approximately 50% of the blockage, but had to stop as they were losing her vital signs.
They want to send her to St. Louis once she has regained some strength to see if the surgeons there will attempt more surgery. At this point she is on morphine drip with a pump that she controls to ease the pain. They do not promise a cure, maybe some partial relief. She is only 38. If you would please send up a prayer for Tiffany I would be ever so grateful.

My grandma whom I currently live with has just been diagnosed with bone cancer and she is very scared as am I.

My grandma is going in for a total knee replacement in the morning. At 87 surgery and recovery are going to be a challenge. Please keep Mildred in your thoughts and prayers. This woman means more to me than i could ever express. She has had a huge impact on me being the man I am today. 0 -
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.0 -
I've never asked for a prayer request, but I could use a few prayers sent this way.
My wife found 3 lumps in her breast last week.
I've been working too many hours out of town to post lately.
Thanks everyone.0 -

My wife is having her right knee replaced at 1:30 this afternoon. She had the left one done in Feb.and got along great. I truly believe the prayers and good thought had a lot to do with that. Thanks Jay 0 -

all who will I ask that you pray for the family and freinds of a co-worker/freind of about 4 years he was 25 yrs old and was killed in a motorcycle accident yesterday going home from work, we are all saddened but not shocked as he was a daredevil of sorts but had a heart of gold, if anyone missed work he would head up alot of drives of some sort to help with money. he had crashed his first Hyabusa a year or so and when he recovered from that people would say " man I hope that taught you a lesson " his reply alot of the time was " but the speed is such a rush, besides something's gonna kill us all or you gotta go some way some time " His favorite tag line on text messages was "fly low" According to the stories I have heard the authorities estimated he was traveling 143 mph slid some 329 feet before impacting a car, he leaves behind a fiance and a 1 month old baby, he will be missed.

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.0 -
My Dad called me yesterday and told me he is diagnosed with Leukemia of some sort. Not sure yet if it is virulent, or a more slow variety and we are awaiting more testing.
Dad is the best man I ever met and the best Dad anyone could hope to have. Wish I lived closer so I could be with him.[V]
Any prayers would be appreciated. We believe in the power.0 -
Our family is not having a good run right now and could use a few prayers. #2 just left the doctor's office where she was diagnosed with the H1N1. She is in Fayetteville going to school so she is over 200 miles away from home. She suffers from asthma so I am very worried. Told her to keep a very close eye on it. The doc told her to use her inhaler at least once every six hours whether she needs it or not.
My husband's uncle passed away Saturday and services will be this Saturday coming up. Hubbie will be driving over ten hours one way to attend his funeral after working all day Friday. He has another uncle who has terminal cancer with no firm projection as to how much time is left as the uncle will not share this information with the family. We did get a chance to visit him last month in St. Louis.
My mom-in-law was able to be with her brother when he passed, but I fear for her health because she was the oldest. Her other brother and her mother passed away within the last year. She suffered a massive coronary a couple years ago and this stress will add up.
My uncle has heart health issues (he is 58) and has had over five heart surgeries. He is like a big brother to me and I fear his health is on a steady decline.
Please keep us all in your prayers.0 -
All, I would like to request your prayer for my wife and myself. I won't go into details on the board but we are going through some rough times with our relationship right now and on top of that, we're expecting a baby next April. 0 -
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.0 -
Very sorry to hear it. Your Dad will be added to my daily prayer list. 0 -
