    Prayers for @NicoleMR in her loss and for C.
    Thank you for your prayers for me. it has been an interesting couple of days - fairly gentle until last night when I learned that already one of the elders has made a power grab. I spent the evening heading him off, to his disgust. I still have to reassure all those whose feathers were ruffled. My feathers feel a bit wind-swept as well this morning.

    Ouch; sounds as though said elder’s been waiting for this!

    For Cathscats and for all ministers of any denomination facing power struggles in their congregations, and also for those affected by those power struggles.
    (We’ve seen it too many times in the past, and we know of folk who are casualties of rifts 30 years ago ☹️)

    Prayers ascending for all in need, especially for Cathscats and her recalcitrant elders and her flock; for MaryLouise's C; for Nicole and the soul of Aunt H.

    May she rest in peace and rise in glory.
  • CathscatsCathscats Shipmate
    Thanks all. Only one recalcitrant elder, and he "means well" - which of course paves the road to hell for others.
    Prayers ascending.

    Offer a prayer for HM The Queen whose husband Prince Philip, the man she described as her strength and stay, died this morning. 🕯

    For @NicoleMR and also for Aunt H.

    For @MaryLouise’s C.

    For all the Beakies.

    For @Wesley J’s J, his family, and classmates.

    For @Lamb Chopped. For LL, and for all involved in the Chauvin case.

    For @Penny S’ friend.

    For Kiri Allen and for New Zealand in general and @Huia in particular.

    For @Cathscats and congregation.

    For HM The Queen in the loss of her lifelong companion. And for that whole family.

    For @The5thMary.

    The paper I really needed to publish has been rejected again. I’ve found a more suitable venue to submit it to, where it is less likely to be rejected arbitrarily, and where the work previously was not at a suitable stage of development to submit it. I really need this, please, and am demoralized and frankly afraid for my career.

    The Telemum’s dizziness has worsened to the point where she is almost completely incapacitated. We were going to celebrate Immunity Day with the trip-of-a-lifetime to Lidl, but when the big day came, it was out of the question. She does not want a wheelchair, which means she will not be able to leave the house again as long as she lives. Someone came to take a blood sample today, but they already know they will not find anything.

    A chance remark from Auntie Telenurse led me to try out a low-histamine diet for 4 weeks, but I do not believe it will help. It will be a lot of trouble, though, and will also mean that I can’t leave the house for any length of time either, because all her meals will have to be freshly cooked from scratch.

    I am angry with the Telemum over something trivial, and disappointed at the prospect of never being able to take her anywhere again.

    Yesterday my friend, L, watched her four children carry their dad’s coffin into the funeral service, determined to do it themselves. He died from Covid, aged 40.

    😢🕯
  • NenyaNenya Shipmate
    That's heartbreaking, @Boogie . >votive< for L and the children.

    Also @The5thMary , the @Telepath household, and the Beakies.

    Thank you. Little Beaky's mum is a bit low this week and he continues to struggle with his breathing. This weekend they hope to view a possible house to rent. Maybe this might be the one.....all prayers appreciated

    So sorry about your friend, Boogie - 40 is indeed far too young.

    and requesting prayer for Son Q#2 who has blood work results that require further investigation. I feel rather mixed. If the diagnosis is what I suspect it will be, treatment will be possible and outcomes likely very good. Just not sure what walking through serious medical-land will be like during COVID and I'm worrying about his ability to manage the anxiety that will come with a diagnosis. I'm relieved that he - uncharacteristically - did not google the initial results, so he's not panicking. Perhaps some of the mental and emotional health work that he's been doing over the past 2 years has taken root!
