I would like to thank everyone on this page - not just for support for me - but all of us for one another. This is so often a wonderful little village.
Excellent news about your daughter @Rossweisse.
Praying for all that post here and those that do not post but need our prayers.
I went to see my brother today, the fist time I'd seen him since his operation. He was back in hospital, but when I got there he told me he was being discharged so we waited around till his wife and son collected him and then I went home with them for a couple of hours. He is very frail, but I think slowly on the mend. The whole thing has obviously knocked him every which way, major operation followed by major complications are not a good thing and I'm sure there will be some more downs on the way but things are moving inch by inch in the right direction.
My husband's grandmother (aged 96) is in hospital with what is looking like kidney failure - at the moment no-one seems to be quite sure of what this means, his parents have gone home leaving his uncle with her so I'm assuming that it's ok at the moment. I'm not being great at praying myself at the moment, so any support is welcome! I suspect that her life is drawing to a close and I think my husband feels the same.

Ahh-men.
I'm having a hard time (lots of pain from the bad-as-ever lymphodema, lots of worrying about the Senior Child) in some ways right now, but I'm still having a good time with our Shipmate @Margaret, who is visiting from her home in the West Midlands. Yay!
And the SC called a little while ago to say that she's been released from hospital. They're still working on the blood clot. They've discovered that she had it before her accident - and if she hadn't fallen as she did, it would probably have kept growing until it killed her. Deo gratias that she has been saved from that fate!
Prayers for all above.
And urgent prayers for someone, anyone, to come round and have a look at D now, instantly, to see and assess and get her deal with.
For Rossweisse. For healing, and relief of workload. For healing for Ross’s L, for healing with no lasting effects. For conflict-free interaction with the ex. And for healing of L’s issue with blood clots so she won’t have to be on blood thinners for the rest of her life. For some help with the logistics of the situation. And err…. thanks for the blessing of a skull fracture averting something *even worse*. We thank God even for skull fractures… times is hard for all of us and if we have indeed to count every busted cranium as a joy, then that is what we shall do
For Ross’s P. for relief of vertigo, and safety from falls and healing from the effects of falls.
For Lothlorien.
For Stercus Tauri & Nick Tamen.
For Piglet.
For all Shipmates with aging parents.
For Cathscats.
For MaryLouise, for healing and good cheer.
Crikey, Barnabas_Aus.
For jedijudy, Mrs S and Niteowl.
For Mama Cat. Lord have mercy.
For Giraffe.
For Pangolin Guerre, amidst such terrible loss. For Aunt C, father Guerre, J, N, S, and your friend’s mother.
For Sarasa and her mother, and her brother.
oh golly the UK Euro elections, wasn’t that a lifetime ago already. the UK is in dire need of prayer.
For Moyra, Mother Mad Cat, and all who mourn her loss.
For MaryLouise’s C.
For {{{Alex}}}
For Lamb Chopped’s L.
For Penny S. For urgent help for D.
For support for Tree Bee’s W.
For Scots Lass, for Scots Lad and his grandmother.
For Climacus.

Okay so I have to have a draft of my dissertation ready by 30 September, and this is one of those forks in the road.
To the right leads success, a modest chuckle that it was nothing really, and possibly a steady paycheck that I can support myself on if I keep working till age 75 and they don't tamper with the benefits too much (wishful thinking I know).
To the left leads to me being the most monumental fuckup of a human being with few prospects for salvaging the situation. Unfortunately this is where I see myself heading. My executive control is in the toilet and I am ruminating destructively in a way that risks some important relationships. I know what I need to do... and over and over again I watch myself doing something else.
I had the sudden thought that I am under spiritual attack, which is what led me here to neutralize it.
On the bright side, the Telemum continues to get better, though the weakness and post-acute withdrawal are still getting her down. A boost in strength and mood would be great.
Prayers for Telepath. And Ross. And others.
Asking prayers for my daughter (haven't got an animal for her, maybe a gazelle) who leaves tonight to do two months with the Salvation Army in Camp America (Pensylvania) and is racked with anxiety. She is often anxious and always pushing herself to do new and challenging things, so this is nothing new. Incredibly, she is worried this time that she won't be fed! In America! This because the camp said they could not cater to her vegetarianism. But I am sure she will find food....
On the old ship there was a picture of a lit candle, used to represent prayer. Most of the illustrations are now gone so <votive> has taken the place of the candle.
Thanks for the prayers for the gazelle. She has safely crossed the Atlantic, without fainting of throwing up (two more of her fears as we had a humdinger of an experience with her coming back from South Africa last July). Also her luggage arrived, which again it has not always done - she packs so much that I am sure luggage men push it to the side on purpose.
Prayers for Telepath, that she will be able to do what she knows she should.
And for Rossweisse and her pain and sleep. And for Lamb Chopped and for @Alex Cockell and all.
<votive> Prayers ascending for all mentioned here, and for all in need
Prayers would be appreciated for L, who casually mentioned the other day that her insurance (from the job from which she was laid off several months ago) expired June 1. I fear - no, I know - that the co-pays and deductibles from that hospitalization will come to more money than she has, and she's got more CT scans and doctor visits coming up soon.
However, when I tried to talk to her about it she waved me off. I've asked her father to speak with her about COBRA or the Affordable Care Act, but the last time he had a major medical bill, he just ignored it and let the bill collectors chase him. She needs to develop a more realistic view of how things work; please, Lord, let it happen soon.
May everyone and everything feel, do, and be a bit better, and encounter and give mercy.
(votive)
For me: private intentions, particularly tomorrow (Tuesday). May I be able to do what I need to do, and may things go easily and smoothly. And may the hot weather ease up!

Thank you for your prayers here. They are missed when you are unable to log on.

Thx.
And prayers for L to have the courage to look at at the options facing her concerning her medical bills. You sound like a good friend Ross.
And prayers for you Golden Key, for the tasks facing you today. I also hate hot weather - and I hope the weather gets better for you in that respect.
