Prayer Thread

[pappy1865]

Update time. Started a new job on Monday. Reached an agreement with Brit, and the judge will make it official, so by Friday, I will be divorced, and ready to officially start a relationship with the girl I've been hanging out with since February. I mean, save for this drivel the Hoosiers put out tonight, things are FINALLY looking up. Thanks to you all for your thoughts, prayers, and support. It means a lot! Hope you all are well, and I'm finally ready to be able to post during games again unless it's Tuesday Shrine night! Also, why the hell is everything I type, and everything you all type suddenly in italics on the laptop? Kind of sucks to read! It's fine on the Droid app???

Great awe and thanks to God for the many, many blessings heaped upon me in the year of the dog.  Amazing.

I'm not sure about this, but I need to do it.  It's been a really rough holiday season.  My family could really use your prayers.  I'm actually on the board of trustees at my church here in St Pete, and I have prayers there.  But things just keep getting worse.  I'd like to ask for as many as possible.

On the Monday before Halloween, my mother in law had a stroke while driving to work.  It was a really bad one that also showed that she's had one previously.  Her mortality has been day to day since then.  When she is aware of her situation, she is angry and cussing at her children for keeping her alive.  It's been rough.

Also since then, my father has been diagnosed with leukemia.  He was supposed to be here for Christmas, but is now on an aggressive radiation treatment.  The doctor is not optimistic.

I have a health concern that I've not shared with my wife yet.  It's all been too much.  My daughter comes home from daycare everyday with notes saying that she was sad all day.  I'm not one to ask for help.  I don't know if this post is to help myself feel better by getting things off my chest or if asking for prayers through an internet board is the way to go.  I don't know.  I know I've been late getting into prediction threads and have sent cryptic posts lately.  

Thanks for being there guys.  Love the ones you're with.

No one on this board should ever hesitate to ask for our prayers.  We may not know each other on a personal basis but it doesn't mean that we can't be there to offer support in any way we can.  You have a lot thrown at you all at once but just like our Hoosiers today, you can prevail.  Prayers for you and your family.

Prayers going up, brother.

I lost my grandmother recently and it’s difficult knowing she’s not physically around. I know she’s in a better place where she’s not suffering from health issues though.

Be honest with your wife, when the time is right. I’ve never known anyone be upset with honesty, especially when it comes to health concerns.

Kids are crazy aware of what is going on around them. Give her extra hugs and talk with her.

Praying everything works out. HE has a plan for all of us and through trials reveals those plans. Keep your head up man.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers Josh. Not just figuratively but literally. Never hesitate to reach out to blow off steam. Remember, His will be done.

Try to keep your relationship with God close in your tough times.  He seems to really cherish and reward that.  Praying for you and your family now too, especially for the little one.

Oh man I literally fear the day my wife’s dog dies. My wife and daughter are going to be so heartbroken. And I’m going to be pretty bummed. They have never had a dog pass away before so going to be new

Wow. Sorry man. I know how it feels to much. Nineteen is a crazy age for a dog. How do you explain that?

Sunday night my 91-year old mother-in-law suffered a severe stroke resulting in the pressure from bleeding in her cranium to shift her brain 5 cm.  The neurosurgeon told us that had a 50-year old suffered that same stroke he/she would have died instantly.  As we age, our brains shrink and her shrinkage allowed her to survive the amount of internal pressure the stroke caused.  Immediate surgery is not an option but I won't bore you with the medical reasons why.  All we can do in the short term is take it day by day and your thoughts, prayers and good wishes will be most appreciated.  Thank you.

Extremely disheartened to hear this. Puts things like tonight’s game in perspective. Thinking of you and your family.
