Please say a prayer for my husband Fred. He has heart failure and an appointment with a surgeon today. Please pray that God will improve his condition so he can avoid the risky surgery. Any way you slice it the odds are very much against him. God's help is very much needed. God Bless.

"Oh, Lord, give me strength to survive the current, the hindsight to respect the formers and the sense to know the difference."

A need for prayers...

Lawrence Auster, archon of the Traditionalist Christian Right, is very ill. We are sponsoring a global prayer vigil in intercession for him, on the evening of Sunday, January 13. More information on the event may be found herehttp://orthosphere.org/2013/01/06/a-prayer-for-lawrence-auster/ .

I’m going in Thursday for an x-ray and a visit with my doc…it seems I’m having pain in places and at times when I shouldn’t. I might have hurt my back by picking up a glass bowl out of the oven while bending over. I was told (2 weeks after I had already done it) not to put myself in that position Good news, God is so good to me. I have had help to pay the ticket I received and I still have enough to get my tags. The only issue now is getting insurance on the car which...

As suggested, since so many freepers have been praying, I am sharing this in the open forum. So many freepers have been praying for me…for my back issues and my work issues. I finally have an update. I had my surgery on November 14th. I had a job interview on the 7th of November and my surgery for my back one week later. I was hired for the job but with all the background checks etc…it was going to be the 3rd of December before the position could start. I have had home health nurses, physical therapists and occupational therapists...

Ray Price has revealed he's battling pancreatic cancer, but the 86-year-old country legend refuses to let the disease stop him from entertaining his adoring fans. "The doctor said that every man will have cancer if he lives to be old enough," the singer tells the San Antonio Express-News. "I don't know why I got it -- I ain't old." This is Price's second cancer scare. In 2009, he underwent surgery to remove polyps from his colon. The music icon's latest diagnosis came after gallbladder surgery revealed a tumor. He endured six months of chemotherapy and is happy to report the...

My good friend's 53 year old mother has been battling cancer for two years. She has decided to end treatment (chemo) to manage pain and nausea. Doctors have given her 2-6 mo. They're asking for prayers. Her first name is Margaret.

By a strange coincidence, both of my children (19 and 20) are having unrelated surgeries in the same hospital right now. My poor son-in-law is doing everything he can to hold this difficult day together. I'm in a different state and pulling my hair out with worry. My husband is flying back home tomorrow. I can't go because I'm post-op myself and sick on top of that. May I please have some prayers sent for all of us? We've been hit with so much (a LOT more than this) this week and we're barely holding it together. The two healthy...

Just thought a prayer thread for Governor Mitt Romney would be good.

Vanity: Prayer Request for a dear friend.

This really isn't my thing, but I thought I'd reach out to a great community for some support. My grandfather is going through an operation, maybe two, to clear out his arteries. Doctors have confirmed with my dad and uncle yesterday that he'll be a DNR should it not work. What makes it worse is that my father wants me at the hospital, but I'd rather not go to deal with it my own way, because quite frankly I'd don't need to cry for a whole day and if that happens, well, I've had much time to reflect on my...

GT'er 23Skidoo Needs Prayers (Glocktalk) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He's had another stroke, his second in 2 years. This one sounds even worse than the first, from what his sister-in-law has said so far. This is what she posted initially, on 7/31 "I AM ASKING FOR PRAYERS FOR MY BROTHER-N-LAW. HE HAS HAD ANOTHER STROKE THIS MORNING AND AS OF RIGHT NOW THINGS DON'T LOOK VERY GOOD. SO PLEASE ASK GOD TO HELP HIM RECOVER." And this is the update she gave me later, "LONE UPDATE.....HE HASN'T WOKE UP YET BUT WHEN I GOT UP THERE I STARTED I STARTED PESTERING HIM TO...

The out pouring of Love and Support through this forum helped me more with dealing with the passing of my wife Jani, than these few words could ever hope to express. I cannot thank you all in person but through the love of Our Father I am sure you know my THANKS is heart-felt.

My beautiful wife of 15 yrs went home to her heavenly Father last night. She had been fighting cancer for over 2 years. She died in her sleep, peacefully. To know her was to love her. Her suffering is now ended ad she will be surely missed.

. The mission of the Manhattan Institute is to develop and disseminate new ideas that foster greater economic choice and individual responsibility. The Single-Mom Catastrophe June 03, 2012 By Kay S. Hymowitz The demise of two-parent families in the U.S. has been an economic catastrophe for society. The single-mother revolution shouldn’t need much introduction. It started in the 1960s when the nation began to sever the historical connection between marriage and childbearing and to turn single motherhood and the fatherless family into a viable, even welcome, arrangement for children and for society. The reasons for the shift were many, including...

Thanks to all who have kept me in your prayers.. I am home with my wife and my girls thankfully. I am going to continue therapy on an out patient basis and I think it will benefit me greatly in the long run. Thankfully I have some answers now... But a part of the problem is that I have neglected my own health over the last few years as I was taking care of my mom who was dying of lung cancer. Then after she passed away last year I sort of isolated myself. and I have not been feeling...

I wish to make a muster of those we know who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom ... I'll start ... Taps please ... On October 24th 1972 ,an aircraft crash landed on USS Midway's deck. This aircraft ran into a group of parked aircraft and destroyed eight of them, killed 5 crewmen and injured 23 others. Among those killed were my best friend AOAN Danny Cherry and my very good friend AME2 Karl Blankenship. Please ... just a moment of silence for these true heros on Memorial Day
