The NIGH****CHMAN 5/27
Good evening everyone.
Snuck back to the bosses office so I could get this going. If anyone else wants to start it beginning Friday, feel free. I will be on vacation and do not have a laptop. I will have a lot of reading to do when I get back. I will be back on Thursday, June 4th.
Prayer requests are listed below.
I do ask that you keep me updated on requests. Often. Please.
Also, please feel free to just visit here. Tell us about how your day went. Your successes. Your failures. Your fun. Whatever. When I post this thread, I do not have access to any chat programs, so this sometimes substitute as that vessel for me.
Continue to keep your thoughts and prayers for the members of our Armed Forces serving around the world, especially during this time of increased awareness. Please thank God for these men and women every day. In addition, please keep the wives and family members in your thoughts.
PEOPLE SEEKING EMPLOYMENT:
Avis
James - Phyllis' "friend"
Jennifer - (Cruise Director Julie)
Nina
Those who are not yet unemployed, but layoffs are looming
Anne -(Lalocaweta) - Please pray for her as she undergoes treatment for a medical problem she is facing.
Cindy Mc - a coworker has a 5 yr old son who was diagnosed at 3 with Metastatic Retinoblastoma. He lost his right eye, but through chemo and radiation it was thought the cancer was gone. It is back and spreading in his brain. There is no cure and they are treating him with some oral Chemo medication right now. I am just asking that you pray for Isaac Xavuer Vasques-Grimmett. He is a precious little boy who has been through a whole lot of difficult times in his 5 short years. We are praying for a miracle but if we can't get that... For God's mercy and grace to keep this precious little boy and his family from suffering too much. Update: Isaac did not qualify for the program they were attempting to go to at St Jude's. Please continiue prayers.
Dana - requests prayer for her sister, Renee. She had tumor on her jaw removed. Now needs jaw reconstruction on 7/23 - (10 hour surgery scheduled).
Debra - has been put on no work by doctor due to memory loss that is related to recent hospitalization. Also, with the no work comes less pay. Prayers for the financial side of the situation.
Gina J. - Pray for her 6 year old Marina, diagnosed with a terminal illness at age 2. She has improved, but still needs our prayers. Pray for this brave little girl.
Janet (1divaatheart) says her husband's tumor is shrinking (Praise God!). Pray for her family as they deal with the passing of her father (5/17).
Karen (Misty750342002) - A friend of Karen's from work (who is like a son to her), Dustin Murphy, is 24 years old and has been diagnosed with Hodgkins Disease.
Prplecat asks prayer for her health battles as well as the family's move to Wichita Falls.
Vicki V. - husband Patrick continues to have health problems. Update on Patrick. His most recent diagnosis from the neurologist is Ataxia and Neuropathy of the left side. Which basically means he has virtually no feeling in his left leg and foot - probably the results of both a broken femur (more than 30 years ago) and his more recent heart and lung surgeries and the bed confinement from all of those.
Vanessa (Butterfly Reborn) - requests prayer for her family. There were no specifics, but I am sure the Lord knows.
Vanessa - We have all followed the story of Elizabeth. Here is her Caringbridge page:

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
My, my, my! Aren't you sneaky today? :)
I'm watching the game. It's more than 1/2 over (4:56 left in the 2nd) and no score, yet! Whatever!!!
I've applied for a ton of jobs this week. I think I'm at 11 between yesterday and today. Pretty even split between DFW and ATL this week which is a first. I had lunch with my old boss today. I was worried that I'd end up with that anger that I had after the phone conversation with my former colleague, but I didn't. I think it helps that she was let go, too. Even though she comes from family money and is 20+ years closer to retirement than I am, I know her lifestyle has been affected as well so it's easy to be with her without getting mad.
After that, I hit the gym. I acheived my goal of 700 crunches before month end. And I've got it down to two sets - one set of 450 and one set of 250. I could've probably kept going when I got to 700 but Michael was waiting for me and I didn't feel like making him wait on me. After workout, we went to the pool for an hour and then came home, ate dinner and put the game on.
If you send me the prayer list, I'll start the thread while you're on vacation.
I'll be around until at least midnight. Prayers for all who need them.

Yeah I talk to him at least once a week depending on his work schedule. He is at a real crossroads, so many things he wants to do and experience and just not sure where to start. He still wants to be a cop, or firefighter or go into the army, but he is waiting it out for now. He also is getting some quality time in with his Mom. There was another cancer scare, but it's okay now.
Those heart tugs are still there (apparently for both of us) and it's tough. But it's just how it goes. Never imagined it would be that way but then, i never had an experience like it. Now if I could just find a more geriatric version of him.. i'd be set!
How about the Night Redwing??!!

forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could be any different
I know!!! Although I'm nervous about them having to play on Saturday *and* Sunday. And I'm worried that my house isn't going to get painted because there's games on both days.
OK, I'm ready to go on Friday! I'll hold down the fort while you're vacationing.
