A friend of my daughter was in a wreck earlier this evening.  She is 4 1/2 months pregnant, just found out Friday that she's carrying a baby boy.  Asking for prayers for her and her baby...and her husband and older son, who are freaking out.  Thanks.
Wanted to mention that this little guy was born last week, perfect condition.   :-)

Praying for Adam, BSS.

Prayers up for my buddy please.  She is having a total hysterectomy, on Monday.  Has about 10 cysts in there, ranging from golf ball to grapefruit size.  In addition they will be having a pathologist on hand to determine if a tumor on her kidney is cancer. There is a good chance they will remove that kidney, as the tumor is on the top of it, by all the arteries and veins and stuff. All of her other tumors will be pathologized at that time too. There is concern that the grapefruit one isn't attached to her ovary, but her bowel. They can't tell any more without opening her up. I think that one has it's own blood supply.

She is doing a barium swallow test to determine if she has cancer in the esophagus today. Tomorrow they biopsy the FIVE 1-2 inch nodules on her thyroid. They won't be removing the thyroid with the surgery on Monday, but they want to know what they are looking at before they remove the other bits.

So......yeah.  She needs some prayers.  43 y/o BTW. 

Thanks in advance.

And for you too, Deb...to be strong for her.  :heart:

Surgery today.  Everything is benign.  She still has both of her kidneys.  Thank the Lord.

Gang, I'm going to hit ten months clean and sober on Thursday.  I was told by several people in AA (and the music director at my church) that now is the time when feelings that I suppressed with alcohol will come bubbling to the surface.  Three weeks ago, for example, I was convinced that I would lose my wife in a car wreck on I-90 as she came home from seeing a cousin of hers.  I even knew exactly where it would occur, and how.  Let's just say that I'm very glad that it didn't happen that day, but the feeling still persists (that I'm going to lose her soon).  I know that this is my alcoholism, or Satan (acting through my alcoholism), beckoning me to come back and drink to quiet the thoughts.  I would lose so much if I did that.  I think that the only way I would consider taking a drink would be if my wife died.  So, what I'm asking for prayers for (damned onions again!), is to be able to be rid of the thoughts, if it is God's Will.

Sending prayers to you and for you, BSS.

Part of the what's happening, is that you are getting you straightened out, and you're waiting for the next shoe to drop so to speak. Things are getting better...so that means something must happen to either screw it up or you will do something to screw it up.

Because that's the way it's been for years, so in a little corner of your mind, there's still a part that thinks that's what's going to happen. But it won't....not this time. Because you have changed!

Your faith in God and your dedication to sobriety has gotten you to your 10 month anniversary. Those two things will get you to your 10 year anniversary, too.   

Remember, if God brings you to it...He will get you through it.

Just remember that Satan is us. This is the side of mankind that was given to us as freewill, and it is up to us to control it. God is there as a reminder that WE do not have to fall victim to our own devils.

Please pray for my dear friend Etta.  She has been my Mom's life partner for 20 years.  This last year she had breast cancer, got a double mastectomy, and we thought everything was ok.  She was just diagnosed with cancer of the spine, and liver.  If she chose not to do chemo, the prognosis was 5-8 months.  She is going to do chemo.  Although I know that some of you have issues with gay people, I can say that I am so grateful to have Etta in my life, and fortunate to see my Mom happy.  She is a retired minister, and a spectacular woman.  My heart hurts to even have to post this, I would appreciate any prayers offered for her health, and barring that, her peace, and that of my Mother's as well.
