Please say an uplifting prayer for me. I beat breast cancer 5 years ago. Last week I was diagnosed with breast cancer metastasis to the brain and had a craniotomy to remove a tumor. I undergo radio surgery next month for the remaining 2 tumors too small to take with resection.
My prognosis is good, I’m positive and optimistic, but I am under no illusion.
My hope and expectation is to beat this back to nothing and have a great life with children and grandchildren. I will do all I can to make that happen.
Thank you all, this is the most amazing community I’ve ever been proud to be associated with.
I’m in the same boat although my cancer hasn’t gone to my brain just a bunch of lymph nodes. In my chest. I’m praying with you for an excellent outcome.
take care circling. We’re not done living our best life❤️🙏
We surely are not! My best life is still occurring and I expect it to continue in the future.
I will pray that your cancer stays in your lymph nodes and does not metastasize further!
your spirits sounds good, circlin, and that is surely part of the cure. I have recently been reading about inositol and IP6 (easily found in capsule form on amazon) as an anti-tumor agent. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17044765/. our daily prayers will be with you as we travel this road together, friend.
Thank you, I will look that up!
Praying for the healing power of Christ to come upon you & make you completely free of this cancer. In Jesus’ name we ask it. God bless, Circlin.
Thank you Joe and bless you too!
Hi all
Forgive me for not updating you sooner on Ma”s status. We spoke at length the other day and all I can say is she such a remarkable person sooo darn optimistic. Her gamma knife surgery took over 4 hours. The docs targeted 21 tumors in her brain with a few more to go.
The BIGGEST thing I am to convey is to tell you all that she loves you and is very grateful for all your prayers.
in peace,
Eve
Thanks for the update, Eve. Ma’ is most definitely an incredible person. Praying that they get them all.
My friend and her husband were victims of wire fraud while buying a rental property. Over $250,000 stolen. Secret Service is involved.
First time I have prayed in about 20 years. They need all the help God can give.
Praying for your friend that the Lord would make right this wrong that was done to them, & for you as well.
“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God.” Altho, when in extreme pain and sorrow, this is hard for us to see. we wait and pray with you, dear friend, for the very best of outcomes.
Joining you in prayer that your friends can get back what was taken from them.In the name of the Lord,the Most High,Jesus Christ.Amen.
Prayers for your friends 🙏🏻
Joining you in prayer for blessing and restoration for your friend and her husband.
Thank you, prayer warriors. God has blessed my grandson with the mass the doctors took out being benign. He still needs to follow up with the doctor in a few weeks. But so far so good! D R is eating better lately and tolerating it pretty well. His weight is steady. I thank God and continue to ask His blessings over my grandchildren.
Praise God through Whom all blessings flow, Alleyways!
Thank you for the update. It is important for all of us to hear The Lord’s Answers to our prayers.
So good. So very good.
I’m so sorry, Alleycats. I didn’t see the auto correct of your online moniker. I should have a disclaimer on my posts.. “too tired to proofread”
Who sleeps anymore?
So glad to hear great news of your Grandson.
So awesome to hear Alleycats! Praise reports are the best! Thank You and praise to You, Father God!
Praise the name of the Lord!
Amen.
Alley, I’ve been rejoicing with you since reading this report!
So thankful for DR, you, and all those who love him; also for those whom God used in his medical care.
We know healing is from the Lord – people are His vessels!
Dear Lord, Thank You for helping DR.
Our hearts are glad and full of gratitude for all You have done – and will do for this family.
We know that all good things come from You – our gracious, merciful, kind Father in heaven.
Please continue to show Your favor upon DR, his family, and on each of Alley’s precious grandchildren.
For Christ’s sake,
Amen.

Chris Passey has been missing for a while. Her family is working desperately to find her.
The family is very hurt and they are becoming very very discouraged. So, I thought I might offer a prayer and hope for your prayers too….so perhaps soon this family can find some peace and comfort once again.
https://www.facebook.com/people/Bring-Chris-Passey-Parker-Home/61550288664013/
Praying for her safe return home.
A couple of months ago, I was let go unceremoniously and abruptly as a substitute teacher at a local charter school district. The leadership of the school based their decision on two incidents. One, a student from the previous semester suddenly expressed his/her discomfort with a question I asked in a health class, focused, at the time, on relationships. I asked the question of both the male and female students what they looked for in a potential boyfriend/girlfriend and then husband/wife. I recommended to them that they not just look at what he or she can provide for you but you take stock of how he or she treats you. I thought it strange that the incident only became uncomfortable a semester later. Or, at the very least, I was only informed a semester later. The second incident was between me and the teacher of a class for whom I was subbing. He had some posters describing different political systems. One of those posters described fascism as a far right ideology. I told him that description was wrong and I sent him a link to an article on Zerohedge I had found describing an organization’s K-12 civics curriculum. I suggested that he research it to see if it was something he would like to include in his teaching material.
I spoke with the assistant superintendent who took my statements. About an hour later, I received an email from the district’s HR department telling me that they would no longer consider me for substitute teaching in their district.
I contacted a lawyer and the lawyer found no legal case. I would like to understand the spiritual aspect so I ask you to pray for me in this regard.
Thank you!
Praying that the Lord will grant you the wisdom that you seek, & His Word promises that He will. God bless.
wow. I have been let go on similar grounds–it rocked my world. sadly, todays school system is particularly starched to the left, unfriendly, afraid, and in lock-step. I am sorry, friend, for the blow you have suffered, but, have found in this life, that this is God’s way of closing one door and opening another. something better. a place where you will feel comfortable and at home. wear your badge of courage proudly becuz we are proud of you!
Marcoolio, It’s frustrating when our job management makes decisions and gives no explanation.
But often, that’s just their way.
Many times we cannot understand what God is doing, but He wants us to trust Him, especially in the dark.
Even when it hurts and makes no sense.
Usually, we have to wait to see His plan unfold.
And, then, we can say – “thank you, Lord. You know best.”
(apology if you’re female – exchange the pronouns…)
Dear Lord, You are our Provider and Divine Providence.
Please help Marcoolio with all that he needs.
Open the eyes of his heart and give him spiritual wisdom and revelation that he might know You better – and live a life worthy of You.
Grant him a generous amount of wisdom to understand his circumstances from Your perspective.
Help him to trust in You with all his heart and not lean on his own understanding but in all his ways acknowledge You. Then, You will direct his paths.
Please give him a knowledge of Your will for his next steps, and a desire to do it.
Shine Your Light upon his way, and lead him where he needs to be.
Whether he turns to the left or to the right, open his ears to hear Your voice behind him, saying: this is the way you should go!
Strengthen him to walk with You by faith, not by sight.
Please give him Your peace and grace for every moment.
Make him sensitive to Your Presence as You comfort and guide.
Lord God, May this circumstance and all of Marcoolio’s ways bring glory to You.
In the name of Jesus, and for His sake, Amen.
🙏🏻
Praying for you. Keep your focus on God’s love and desires for you. And pray, a lot!
I think that perhaps you may need to see what they have in their records on file for you. If it’s something negative it could affect your ability to get another job. It may be worth the effort to inquire further to clarify the justification for their decision. Based on that you may want to consider speaking with another lawyer. Or, if you may just choose to drop it and focus on your future pursuing other things.
Asking for prayers for all beings in the very rural area in and around Aguanga in southwest California. A fire has grown from 10 acres early this afternoon to over 400 a few short hours later, due to Santa Ana (offshore) winds. Lots of ranches, horses, some RV parks, etc. anticipating the winds will whip the fire to 1000 acres. Many thanks, Treepers.
FHPO, stopping by to let you know I’ve been praying today for this terrible fire situation.
Bless you and yours, too.
Dear Lord, You are the Creator and Sustainer of all things; all power and wisdom are in Your mighty hand.
Even the winds and the waves obey You, God.
You know all about this sweeping fire, Lord.
We humbly ask for You to stop its spread and protect all people, animals, property, and the land from further destruction.
Please provide whatever is needed to all affected.
May You be glorified in this devastation as only You, dear Lord, can bring beauty from ashes.
For Christ’s sake, Amen.
Please pray that my family wakes up to what is happening in the world. I’m utterly alone. My whole family watches CNN/MSNBC and thinks they are watching real news. I have one -miracle- adult child (and ten miscarriages trying to give her siblings) who, unbelievably, expressed no sympathy for what happened on October 7th. My heart is broken. Thank you for your prayers. God help us.
Praying for your family, & all such families, to be hit with the convicting power of the Holy Spirit. I thought I saw wrong at first when I read ten miscarriages. I can’t even imagine what that must have been like for you. I am so very sorry, & so sorry you are in this situation now. Just remember that you are on the Lord’s side & He is with you always & in all ways. God bless you, Kat.
thank you for these encouraging words, joe, for kat, and for all of us.
Amen, Joe.
Kat, your request touches my heart and I am sorry about the situation.
It’s terribly painful when adult children make unwise choices in life.
Especially when those who love them have to sit on the sidelines and watch.
But, we are not helpless nor hopeless.
We can pray to God; He hears and He answers – in His time and His way.
And, we may not see the answer before leaving this earth, but it will come!
God is at work in our children’s lives – He loves them more than we do!
At times it does seem we are alone, especially those with a small or no family.
But, the Lord is always with you … He has promised to never leave or forsake you.
May His promise comfort you in the days ahead.
Dear Lord, Thank You for being intimately aware of every detail in our lives.
You know every situation and our hearts’ desires – especially, for our children.
Lord, please minister to Kat in the days ahead and provide all that she needs.
Help her continue being a reflective Light of Jesus Christ to her family, and in the surrounding darkness.
Please bring her daughter to her senses, O God, as You did the Prodigal son.
Lead her to the Cross, and restore her soul.
Fill her with Your Holy Spirit; give her the mind of Christ, helping her to think like Him.
Please remove her heart of stone and put a new heart within her – a heart like Yours, O Lord.
And move her to follow Your decrees.
May Kat’s daughter grow in Your grace and knowledge all the days of her life, and be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ.
May her life bring You glory and honor, Lord.
We believe in You, Lord, and in Your promises.
Help our unbelief when times are hard and may our Anchor in Christ keep us.
Thank You for all that You will do for Kat, her daughter, and her dear family as You draw them to Yourself.
For Christ’s sake, and in His name, Amen.
“Arise, cry out in the night, as the watches of the night begin; pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord.
Lift up your hands to him for the lives of your children, … “
Lamentations 2:19
🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’m in agreement with this prayer, in Jesus’ name..
Praise the Lord and God bless America
Julie Kelly posted on X that we should:
“pray every day SCOTUS overturns DOJ’s use of 1512(c)(2) against 300+ J6ers including Trump”
I thought it would be ok to share so we can all pray for this.
God bless America and President Trump and ALL of the CTH crew
Giving thanks my oldest son had a clear colonoscopy today. He has many GI unpleasant issues post gall bladder removal and yes, some prior. We are thankful no cancer or polyps today. Biopsies taken today to see if they can figure out his symptoms. Post my nephew Alex….oh we were all sweating bullets. Alex passed a year ago november 8. Oh my…sister suffers so for her loss as do I. I keep praying that maybe Alex is the lucky one with the state of the world we are in. Idk. Still…I give thanks.
Wonderful news NanaB!And it is right to give Him thanks and praise.Amen.
Thank the Lord for this, Nana. Praying they can figure things out from here.
That’s great news, Nana!
Hope they discover some answers and relief will be on the way.
During these chaotic days, we all should remember that our times are in God’s hands.
His eye is on the sparrow – and He watches over us!
So, we can be still and know He is God.
Nana, you’ve chosen to do the “best” thing – to give thanks to God.
I’ve been practicing that, too, and it changes everything!
A little boy, about 8 yrs old, in my church/school has a brain tumor and several tumors on his spine…will start chemo soon…Please pray for him. Also please pray for the family that they are able to continue doing a fabulous job in caring for him and just going thru life in general….
Praying for a full healing for this little one.
I humbly pray for the state of Ohio today to do the right thing for the unborn.
Praise, The Lord! My Mother’s biopsy went well, and her results came in on Nov. 7, 2023 that show she does NOT have cancer. Thank you to everyone that prayed for my Mom!
Praise God! Wonderful news, Mr. M.
God morning everyone,
I did not ask permission for this and hope I don’t get into trouble, but our Treeper pal, Frank Field, has a baby grand nephew in need of our prayers.
Young Jackson’s mom posted this on her GoFundMe page on November 3rd and his bone marrow transplant is tomorrow.
Please hold him and his parents close for a successful transplant, negligible adverse effects, and swift and speedy recovery. In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, may God grow this boy to a living, breathing testimony of God’s Mercy and Kindness and may he grow into a sturdy and noble leader for our future.
My phone is giving me much grief trying to post the link to the GoFundMe. It has some gorgeous pictures of little Jackson’s sweet chubby cheeks and big huge smiles. What a love that boy is!
Keep him close in your hearts and minds friends. They need our support.
“We have 6 days until transplant. Jackson is tolerating his chemo conditioning treatment very well. The most intensive chemotherapies will be administered on Sunday and Monday next week. We are expecting more extreme side effects to surface after that.
Right now, his biggest struggle has been nausea but we are able to control it by keeping him on scheduled anti-nausea medications. He was also in a lot of pain for a few days from his line placement, but now he is getting more comfortable with it.
At the moment, Jackson is doing great. He is constantly smiling, and is doing great with his physical therapy! The doctors say that his body is responding perfectly to treatment and they have no concerns going into the transplant.
Prayers are welcome always!!”
please, Jesus, may jackson thrive beyond all expectation, and his family forever blessed.
I posted his little gofundme link on the OT. All can read his backstory there and see his precious pictures. He’s sure a cutie pie. I can’t imagine what his parents are enduring… but God Is Able and HE IS GOOD.
https://gofund.me/51c18963
oh, woo. he is so very precious. thank you for this link, dear one.
He is a happy little munchkin even with all the tubes, prodding, and pressures on his little system. Who couldn’t smile to look on that face!
Frank sent me a message late last night. I was just able now to watch the whole message regarding Baby Jackson. He sent me a video of him and a note that the stem cell transplant took 3 hours. The video message was of Jackson’s doctor speaking to the family that this will “boost his stem cell count and hopefully leads to faster engraphment.” Baby Jackson is such a little trooper and just the cutest of the cute.
Jackson’s doctor was discussing the procedure with the family and he is such a mild-mannered gentle soul. He calls Jackson “little man”. We pray blessings over his head, his family, his staff, and all other medical professionals who work God’s miracles every day – may they always be led by His Prompting and may they be richly rewarded with satisfying and encouraging results. Bless them, Father.
We will now wait and see how Jackson responds and we lift our prayers to God in Heaven for that sweet, small boy that God Will grow into a mighty man and a force for good. In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

“Jackson’s new bone marrow is in. Thank you Jesus there were times when transplant felt so far away.
Jackson responded well to the infusion. He got a small rash and his blood pressure spiked near the end. All of which were easily managed with some medications.
What lies ahead will be the most challenging part of this whole journey. We will be staying in the hospital for at least 4-6 more weeks while we are on high alert watching for side effects such as mucositis, rejection, GVHD, organ toxicity and infection. Some of which we are almost certain will happen, and we have plans in place. Others that we just need to pray will not surface.
Big thank you to the family, friends and even strangers who have supported us, prayed and helped us get to this point.”
I hope it’s okay, but I’m putting a prayer request in for the Country..We are on dangerous ground…
yes, today has been difficult. we keep praying.
It’s MORE than okay, nigella. If we are not on our knees before The Lord for the our country and this world – all the other prayers seem a bit futile.
Prayer warriors…my friend has gone home to Jesus. Please pray for the repose of his soul. While not unexpected…he was such a fighter. And such a kind hearted person. He had had two fingers amputated and that seemed to be what did him in after losing both his legs…and being on dialysis.
Pray for me too…I feel guilty like I could have done more…one more text, one more phone call…he had retreated somewhat and was hard to get a hold of.
Thank you….trying not to cry….its not working…
God called him home. and there is a period of time, a retreating, before that happens, when one is in full conversation with God before leaving this earth–the readying to go and making of peace. we are left behind, but your friend has been made whole. I say this, because my mother had been legally blind most of her life. minutes before she passed away, her eyes became as clear as sunlight and she was able to see my sister’s face. he knew you loved him and that was your gift to him. there is no greater gift. it shines thru in everything you say, sweet aggiegirl.
You have no idea how comforting your words are to me…thank you so very much! My heart aches though…yet he is made whole. No more pain, body perfect…how good is that! I grieve for the pain he went thru and my own selfish wish of ‘saying goodbye’….I did not get to say good-bye.
Here is a story regarding his mother…6 degrees of separation…so to speak…(his mom used to guide marine traffic into the canal (from the breakwater but the following is before that).
He was in TN for work and met one of the big important executives at a cocktail party (my friend was a construction worker, go figure?)….It turned out, during the course of general chit chat…my friend’s mother was the government person who signed his draft card!
My friend was a Zonian…Zonians have a special link as it is a lifestyle and place that no longer exists except in our memories and our hearts. Zonians are now scattered all across the globe. The following is courtesy of the CZBrats.com.
A Zonian Toast
May the Gamboa Road be your
path in life; Let the dry season
winds always be at your back.
May the rainy season ripen the
mangoes in your tree.
Let the sun shine warm upon your
face on the Causeway
And until we meet again, remember…
Those who have drunk the water of
the Chagres shall prosper and
always be Friends.
oh my goodness, aggie. I just found this wonderful BBC article from 2014 on zonians. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-28594016. of course, I have no idea as to its truth, but your friend most certainly was separate and apart and extraordinary. thank you for your kind reply–we never really get to say goodbye to our loved ones the way we want to, but, I just tuck them inside my heart and God takes care of the rest.
Go to CZBrats.com, it will give you an idea of the old Zonian life….many have childhood friends from young ages there and still keep in touch. BBC is a bit slanted, I have read this article a while back….it was no life of luxury. I lived it. We paid rent to the federal govt. for our housing but yes they did do the lightbulb thing back then. Inside ceiling in some housing units were quite high. With light fixtures.
We had no parrots or monkey is our yards, or at least not mine…we lived in 4 different housing areas so, that said…BBC can stuff it…an occasional iguana up a tree…the civilian commissary always had shortages (and was pretty dirty)…like turkeys at Thanksgiving…the military commissaries did better.
Back in the day, for tax purposes, it was considered a “hardship camp” for civilians when doing their taxes….extra break I guess.
Oh linwik,
What a blessed, blessed moment with your Mom.
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.
Love you, Sis.
Oh Aggie,
My heart breaks for you, but for him – he is FREE. He is fully formed and fully whole and with his dear Mom.
I know in these passes – they feel like such losses to us. Such deep and sometimes inconsolable grief. I simply cannot come to terms with some of the death that we have experienced. In my mind, I know the sadness and the reality is there, but I must cast it back to God and I pray to Him and submit to Him that I will carry the grief and the pain, until God Decides my pain is over. If I were to sit and count the costs too long – I fear the breakdown would do me in.
It is so much better for me to adopt Corrie ten Boom’s prayer “Lord help me to hold things loosely, because it hurts when you pry them from my hand.” (Paraphrased by me – but you get the gist). It helps me to remember that no one and no thing actually belongs to me. It does hurt to see my tangible corner get smaller though.
You get to a point where you simply don’t care anymore. You don’t care about repercussions for speaking Truth. You don’t care about popularity, or losing one more thing, because frankly you have nothing left to lose. And THUS, we speak TRUTH to darkness, and we cast out evil from us and we beat it back against the onslaught towards those we love. You were his fighter my friend. You were his bold prayer warrior, and The Lord heard every word.
I pray you easy on yourself as you mourn. Take some time. There is no work, no labor, no paycheck that demands us present so much that we lose ourselves. I pray you comfort and respite from the fight – for our fights will come again and we must be ready for them when the time comes.
You are such a sweet sister. For now, I sit with you on our bench and mourn.
Jesus overcame death to give us life beyond the grave. I pray your friend is able to send you a sweet sign of his great love for you. You did good, girl. You did good.
Love you, pal.
Oh JWoo…your words bring such comfort…yes, imagine us sitting on a bench with the Lord’s glorious sunshine falling on our faces on this beautiful fall day…
I think he did send a sign…woke me up…
I am so sorry for your loss but I will celebrate your friends freedom from his suffering and his homecoming to our Lord and savior. Do not lament on not being able to connect with him before he passed. It is difficult – I know this firsthand. I too struggle with this very thing but I assure myself…once our loved ones are safely in the arms of God…they know and feel our love. Rest easy Aggiegirl. Peace be with you. May God bless you always.
Thank you. …it was a quick illness….about a year…
I’m so sorry, Aggie. From everything you said I can’t imagine one more thing you could have possibly done that you didn’t do. You were a great friend to him & that means everything. I pray the Lord would comfort you now in this time of sadness.
Thank you….he was young, 64…but sad as I am, I am happy he is in the Lord’s arms, made whole and beautiful and pain free. And Happy.
I am very sorry to learn of the passing of your dear friend,Aggiegirl.The Lord has called him home and he suffers no more.
You will meet again someday…Blessings and prayers for you,friend.
Yes…and thank you…he was so young….but when God taps us…we go….
Just yesterday I read a daily devotional on grief. May it bring you comfort.
The Blessing Hidden in Grief
What to do with our losses? . . . We must mourn our losses. We cannot talk or act them away, but we can shed tears over them and allow ourselves to grieve deeply. To grieve is to allow our losses to tear apart feelings of security and safety and lead us to the painful truth of our brokenness. Our grief makes us experience the abyss of our own life in which nothing is settled, clear, or obvious, but everything is constantly shifting and changing. . . . But in the midst of all this pain, there is a strange, shocking, yet very surprising voice. It is the voice of the One who says: “Blessed are those who mourn; they shall be comforted.” That’s the unexpected news: there is a blessing hidden in our grief. Not those who comfort are blessed, but those who mourn! Somehow, in the midst of our tears, a gift is hidden. Somehow, in the midst of our mourning, the first steps of the dance take place. Somehow, the cries that well up from our losses belong to our songs of gratitude.
This is beautiful…I will add…’…the people in darkness have seen a great light…the Lord of our longing has conquered the night…’
Makes one appreciate what we have…
In the last 3 years, I have lost 6 acquaintances and one precious dog….no brothers or sisters, and parents long gone, kids off doing their thing…the quiet in the house gets me sometimes.
I understand your losses. I lost count of all the people I knew who died during the covid years. I too am alone and thank God for my sweet companion cat. Even though I have 2 siblings in another state, they are not believers and don’t really treasure me as a sister. Yes. I understand the isolation.
Last year my bible study included the book of Lamentations. Now I am reading a book by Mark Vroegop called “Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy”, which details how to lament as Jeremiah says. It might be very helpful to read it. It gives God’s way to lament our losses and go through them victoriously.
MaineCoon,
Mark Vroegop is Mike Pence’s Pastor and Spiritual Adviser. I know… I attended his church College Park North Indy and worked on a ministry team there. I have stories from elders, ministry leaders, and those I witnessed myself that would make your skin crawl.
He’s good friends with John Piper, who as famous as he is, was and is definitely ANTI-TRUMP. A former elder there, a Biden supporter, is teaming up with Piper for children’s school curriculum. These are not “think for yourselves” people.
Tread carefully, friend.
Wow. I had no idea. The book was gifted to me by a dear Christian friend. Bet she doesn’t know either. John Piper is on the naughty list for sure. Thank you for telling me this.
So far from what I’ve read it is Biblically sound based on Lamentations, which was a deep study in a O.T. class last year, but when religious people are “anti-Trump” I question how close they walk to the Lord. I just do.
Have a nice Thanksgiving!
Fraudulent people can talk a really good game. I loved Mark Vroegop. I used to feel like I walked out of church service with a college level dissertation. Loved him and we were so betrayed.
When critical race theory came out – it overtook his pulpit and Scriptural teaching was replaced with white shaming and guilt laden sermons that were absolutely sickening. He had one job – to teach Jesus and he veered way off course. Waaaaaay off course.
I have first-hand experiences with their poor stewardship of their flock. I have had private discussions with departed elders of the church that make remarkable and deeply disturbing allegations about its inner workings.
Chicks on the Right was a local radio show on our conservative talk station.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/mike-pences-fellow-parishioners-are-furious-at-donald-trump
I am sorry to have to tell you this. I would prefer it not be true, but it most certainly is. Use great discernment when being taken in by them. The book may very well be quite good – but the ministry that supports that preacher and his workings and dealings with his flock are disingenuous.
I have first-hand accounts that would make your blood boil.
We grow more than corn in Indiana – we grow really dirty politicians. Really, really dirty.
I pray you a wonderful Thanksgiving, Maine Coon.
A little prayer for Sundance tonight,
Father God,
I enter your throne room and humbly ask You to please bless and protect Sundance and his team, their families, and all those support systems that make this Conservative Treehouse possible. Stretch the dollars, Father, cover all their needs and give them supernatural courage to continue to labor on in this journey of revealing Truth. Protect them and block all lawfare and let no weapons formed against them prosper.
There are so very few islands of Truth left in this tangible world, but Hebrews 11:1 reminds us that “Faith is the assurance of what we hope for in the certainty of the unseen.” Father, God, we know You are here with us. We can close our eyes and drown out the world and You are here with us. Your Light will not be stamped out in the darkness and Your Son is coming soon!!! We are the expectant bride waiting for our Bridegroom with lamps lit. When, Lord, when?
Father, I ask that You remove any obstructions, obstacles, or hindrances in Sundance’s path and the paths of those who aide him. Reveal through him the Truths that You would have us know and give his readers confidence and hope in the days ahead. None of these moments are unknown to You and You count every sleepless night and tears that fall.
Give Sundance’s surefootedness on the path of righteousness and that You will carry him from any depths to the High Places and that You will give him supernatural wisdom to see and hear the spoken… and unspoken. Sharpen his discernment and help him to be a sword against evil.
We know we are seeing the destruction of our freedoms as Americans, but as Christians our freedoms are limitless and Eternal. Show us Your Path for us and our lives and make us good stewards of the resources You have blessed us with while we are here on this earth. You do not call the equipped, You equip the called.
We know that fear is the sin of faithlessness and therefore we stand against fear and cast it out, back to the depths of hell with fear’s originator where it belongs. In You, we have blessed assurance and stand firmly in the cleft of the Rock sheltered by Your Righteous Right Hand. You are so awesome, God!!! To witness Your Works is an incredible honor!!! Thank You for believing us worthy to be alive in a time such as this.
Thank You, Father, for Your Divine Providence. Thank You for Salvation through Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior and it is in His Name, I pray, AMEN
My lovely wife, Mary Jo. We had 31 great years together, I am a lucky man!
Allah,
I pray The Lord soften your loss of your precious wife. May your memories of the joy and laughter overcome your tears and may you share the stories of the blessings of your marriage with others to give them hope through their own journeys.
31 years of partnership and accountability is a beautiful feat.
Love to you, friend.
I did not type Alla(h) – auto correct changed my entry allam. I am very sorry. Was on my cell phone.
We could certainly use your prayers. We need a giant shift to new employment and I must get out of where I’m working. I’m surrounded and led by those who don’t serve the same God I do. They serve the little “g” gods and it is more than I can manage.
May God be praised no matter what.
praying, woo. lately, it seems as if there is nowhere to run. but, we run straight to Him. may He pick you up and set you down in the perfect place.
Thank you, linwik. I think I would like to just stay in His Arms with my head tucked in for a little while. How great will it be when we are all finally in His Presence forever?!
I pray the Lord will gently carry you to wherever He would have you to go & give you the strength to forge ahead. God bless, Joan.
Thanks Joe Blow. You are a mighty pray-er and a gem in his crown. Blessed by your friendship.
Please pray for my friend Linda who is losing sight on one eye. Please pray God will heal her . Thank you.
Praying for the touch of the Lord Jesus Christ to heal Linda & restore her sight. God bless, Valerie.
Father, God, please comfort Linda through this uncertainty. Bring great wisdom to her doctors and guide them to her healing and restoration. In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN
Valerie, on the Joe Rogan podcast, Mel Gibson spoke of taking his elderly 93 year old father for stem cell treatments. He was like a new man and I believe he lived to 101? The stem cells, ethically harvested from umbilical cords, improved a myriad of things, including eyesight. It’s intriguing to say the least. It’s on the Spotify app, Joe Rogan Experience podcast episode # 1066 with Dr Neil Riordan.
Would be interesting to see how those studies have advanced. I certainly would like to learn more.
Bless your friend, Linda.

Prayers on the way!
Pray for Sundance that the Lord give him encouragement, wisdom, and comfort!
AMEN!
Prayers for PRESIDENT D J TRUMP AND HIS FAMILY ON THE LOSS OF HIS SISTER MARRYANNE BARRY TODAY….
SHE IS IN GOD’S HANDS. SO MANY LOSSES FOR THIS MAN.
New physician partner, new electronic medical record — almost impossible to use, stressed marriage, financial fear, discouragement. I’m grateful for this place on the branches in the universe.
everything seems to happen at once. prayers for you to come thru to the other side–stronger, smiling, blessed. we are here, doc.
Reading this, one scripture came immediately to mind: “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for Me?” (Jer. 32:27)
Claim that, CD, & He will be with you always. God bless you.
Thank you all
I read all of your posts. I think you are in Tennessee. I’m here in NEtennessee. I wish you were my doctor. You have helped me understand my pcp’s attitude. Prayers for you ❤️🙏
We all wish he were our Doctor, BC.
Love you, girl. What a power house of faith you are.
Keep bringing God’s flowers to others my friend. You inspire me.
Thank you. My patients know the struggle I face. They pray for me. They can tell when it is tough. They wait for me patiently when I am behind, encourage me.
Many of them I have know for 30 years. I have delivered some of their grandchildren, sat with their dying relatives. Many of them are family or people I go to church with.
CountryDoc,
We know where fear comes from, don’t we? Cast it out. Fling it back to the pits of hell where it belongs. It has no authority over you and has no place.
You are a Doctor. Especially trained and equipped for a time such as this. Your job is healing, not tending or competing with noise.
Your wealth is God’s Provision and He always delivers what we need… maybe not what we want… but if we had His 16,000 foot level view… we would realize we don’t want what He Has Saw Fit not to provide!
I promise you.
I’m on the precipice of leaving the evil that surrounds my job and the giving over to graven things that surrounds me and causes me to be the serf to those that hold my chains. Scary. Really really scary for we are paycheck to paycheck and all our means have been lost due to these treacherous policies and to others’ love of evil and its temporary gain. How long can I serve this?
I pray for you. What I pray and giggle over is that you and our nurse Aggie should start your own practice. I’ll be your Office Manager and Bookkeeper and we will love and care for your direct pay patients. They will be healed through your sensibilities.
The gift of praying is sometimes imagining outcomes. Wouldn’t it be fun.
There is LIFE out there for all of us and we are blessed when we remain within His Will.
I’ll admit the cliff clutching and release is harder the older I get and the need for security makes me yearn for the recklessness of missionary work. Jesus sent His disciples out two by two, with no change of cloak, no food, no plans for shelter. They relied on the people they ministered to and they lived fully leveraged in Him.
Thinking out loud.
Thank you so much. Yes, by all means send Aggie. And you come too!
I have evaluated direct pay carefully. But many of my patients are older and poor and have only medicare and Medicaid. They would not be able to stay with me.
With direct primary care, I could see 1/4 the patients, take more time, and make 3x the income. But I would have to tell many of the patients that I could not be their doctor. Yes more satisfaction for me, but not for our patients.
I am trying to build the practice so that it will go in effectiveness and in ministry.
Thank you for your prayers. I am doing ok one day at a time.
Dear Treepers, some of you may have read the posts earlier on the daily thread…JWoo has challenges in her life right now…and her daughter….On this thread we have all been touched in so many ways, by her beautiful prayers in response to our requests…our friends and those we don’t know…Her kind, loving and reverent manner has brought many of us peace, calm and deeper love for our fellow man and for Our Father in Heaven.
I am asking all to lift her and her little family up in prayer, for safety, Divine Direction, peace, love, discernment in decision making…so the lights of God’s love rest on her and her daughter’s shoulders….
JWoo, when you read this and I know you will sooner or later…consider gathering your prayers and putting them together and write a book…I don’t know if you truly understand the depth of comfort your beautifully worded prayers offer…truly a gift from above.
And other Treepers, yours too…all bring the ray of sunshine many are in need of!
Amen!
Praying for JWoo, grateful for her encouragement.
Weeping, Aggiegirl. Weeping.
I don’t expect to be spared from trials. As Greg1 so eloquently posted “it’s my turn. It will pass.”
I am surrounded by the nonsensical… but we all can see it. It’s everywhere.
You mention “reverent manner”… it is all God… all Him. When I’ve witnessed and been trapped in the clutches of darkness and feel its stranglehold to my throat, there is nowhere I would rather be than in our Father’s Heavenly Arms and in the presence of His Peace.
He is to where we should flee.
This period of testing is just another. It too shall pass with another to follow. It is the flexing of the Spiritual muscle.
When evil comes for my daughter, instinct is to clutch her, force her close, close the ranks. God is teaching me “no”… I must relent to His refining, so she must flex her own muscle of faith.
How do we all grow strong without our adversity? How do we grow deeper in our relations without our shared weakness?
There is no special sauce for immunity from harm… only prayer.
I’ve grown in so much love for you all with your shared stories. I pray it’s made for a deeper place for the readers here.
There is no fiction here in the Tree. Just friends gathering, toes dangling from the branches, and sharing our travels… sometimes in delight and others in downcast whispers. It’s life.
I would love to write. As it stands, I do well to journal and study God’s Word and to write to you all. It will probably take dire infirmity to grant me the luxury of time for my life holds no luxury or spare time. Prayers I post here are written and lost for I do not record or collect them. They are exterior expressions in my inward prayers for you, my friends.
Love to you all.
So blessed to hear Eve’s precious news. It pours into my hope this morning in a well that has run a bit dry. I needed her news.
Let’s keep posting of His Mercy and Deliverances, shall we??? He Is So Good
Please pray for a VietNam veteran, still surviving in spite of Agent Orange exposure, in hospital undergoing tests. Pray for a good treatment for heart problems.
I know of two more recently passed from Agent Orange
Marcia, our retired magistrate has a brother in CA with it….
Dear prayer warriors. I need prayers for Mark, he’s in his forties, a very dear friend of my son. He felt sick , had some kind of blood cyst on his neck, went to the hospital where they lanced it and all went down hill from there.
I don’t have much info. The Drs. had to sedate him and put him on one of those dredded ventilators for 1 day. They tried to awaken him the next day which was yesterday but he is unresponsive.
His family and girlfriend are at the hospital 24/7 .We are all praying to God in Jesus name for a healing miracle for Mark. Thank you and God bless everyone else’s needs here too.
Believing the Lord for that miracle for Mark, in Jesus’ mighty name. The Lord bless you, wolvybat.
In unity, Joe Blow, for Mark’s deliverance from what ails him. May God’s Mercy pour forth.
Well my dear prayer warriors,
Had pet/ct scan on Monday. The radiated,right side, showed significant shrinkage of all the affected lymph nodes and 2 completely disappeared 😀
Also showed 4 new nodes on the left side. Ugh. Saw the oncologist just now and he said the new ones were extremely tiny and the Femera, estrogen blocker, should knock everything out or at the very least keep it all stable whoo hoo. The only other thing I have to take is calcium and vitamin D. How incredibly blessed is that.
im dancing with joy and thankfulness.
thank you all for your prayers
peace, Eve
Yay Eve! I’m dancing right along with you. Praise God!
❤️
Joe my dear,
im just smiling ear to ear. I still don’t know what my future holds no one does but some how I feel like the sparrow.
ive had many sorrows in my life where I thought God hated me. I too hated right back.
But I always came back to Him.
I will never understand the challenges that were put before me, but now I feel His grace.
grace at least for me. I feel like I’ve been holding my breath for months and now I’m breathing again.
love to you joe.
Eve
Hallelujah Eve!!! What amazing news to hear on a plain old Thursday evening. I am overjoyed for you! 😀
I’ll tell ya the anxiety before the scan and then waiting on the report and then my oncologist calling for a fast appointment had me scared to death. I was thinking this is going to be really bad news. When I got out of the Jeep I just looked up and prayed to God for good news.
He sure did answer in the best way possible. Amen❤️
love and peace to all,
Eve
Praise God, Eve! Praise God!
Praise God!
❤️
Praying. I m not on CTH daily, but I try to keep up.
Thanks Doc.
I think you live Tennessee. I do too. Wish you were my PCP. 😉
For the repose of a soul, Navy veteran.
Am hearing sniffles and sobs…..trying not to cry myself….Well done good and faithful servant.
For the repose of the soul of a Navy veteran.
Update
Back in August I asked for your support and prayers for my daughter and her husband as they had exhausted the IVF path and were embarking on surrogacy. Well, they ended up with 2 wonderful women who agreed to be surrogates. The girl embryo implant did not work (she is going to try again); but yesterday we saw the 19 week ultrasound of our future grandson–here’s handsome just like me :). WE expect to see him end April. Thanks for your support. We continue to pray that all goes well, and God bless our surrogate.
Joe K,
So happy to hear your good news! A grandson! Thank You, Father, for Your Mercy on this sweet family!
Good evening, Treepers,
We have an update on Baby Jackson. Please keep this family in your prayers over this Thanksgiving. Let’s pray this boy stabilized, improving, and their family home for the holidays with joy-filled news.
Today
by Mariah Field, Organizer
It’s been a rough couple of days. Jackson was transferred to the Pediatric ICU on Monday around 1 for respiratory distress. He needed some extra assistance to breathe so he has been on BiPap ever since.
He is officially “engrafted” meaning the body has started creating new cells from the bone marrow transplant. This actually happened more aggressively and sooner than anticipated, which put his body into overdrive, and ultimately caused hyper-inflammation and swelling in his airways.
He is getting the support he needs, but it is hard on all of us. The PICU is not a comfortable place to be, but for now it is the right place for him.
He is stable and our next steps are to wean him to a lower level of oxygen. One that could be managed on our regular unit instead of the PICU.
We are hoping this is a short stay and he will be getting better soon.
Thank you for your prayers and support.

Oh boy. Once again asking for prayers for my sister. Her husband has been admitted into the hospital for a fib and CHF. Scans show spots in upper colon as well as kidneys. More testing to come. She needs strength too. Thank you Treepers!
Oh Nana, your poor sister. I pray that the Lord will have mercy on her & her husband & touch him with His healing power. Also that He will give strength to her to endure. God bless.
Thank you Joe Blow. I pray for you and your mom. I hope you both are doing well. God bless you.
Thanks Nana. Still trying to figure out exactly what’s wrong with Mom. She’s had some rough days since she came out of the hospital last month. We both feel like the Lord is moving though, so we just have to wait on Him.
I’m so sorry your mom is still having difficulty. May God reveal the source and relieve her of this pain. So yes, we wait on Him.
Prayers up! Hoping things go well! Lord bring your healing touch for NanaB’s brother in law….guide the doctors to the right treatment while bringing peace and comfort to all. Amen.
Brother in law home!!! A fib under control with meds. He awaits referral to cardiology. Follow up in six months for the mass in his colon and spots on his kidneys…maybe liver I’m sorry can’t remember. In any case, he is home and feeling much better. Thank you all for your prayers. Treeper prayers are so wonderful!! Blessings to all this and every night.
Prayer warriors, the elderly lady that was released and airlifted to a hospital, is in an Israeli ICU, in critical condition and unstable per reports from Fox news. There was no information on what is wrong with her other than ‘neglect’ which can mean a lot of things…. but my nancy nurse critical care mind is running thru a few possibilities, none of which a person would recover from, quickly…or comfortably. I am thinking dehydration, malnourished, infection, heart, kidneys,lungs…all of which interact negatively with each other under these circumstances.
Elma Alvraham, lets all lift her up in special prayer.
Dear Angels and Saints, please hear our prayers while you pray with us and take these prayers to the Mother, for more prayers….to take to her Son, the Divine Healer…to bring Elma back to good health so that she may enjoy a few more earthly years with her family and friends.
In a special way, we pray for the other hostages, too, especially the precious nine month old baby…that they will all be released soon and healthy. Amen.
I am having surgery next week and could please use some prayers to help w/getting all the fine tuning of details worked out.
I am having the ever terminal transportation issue and really need that to be resolved easily and effortlessly.
As someone once said “surgery is no big deal until it is yours”. I have had numerous surgeries and I do know the big deal of them, whether minor or major, which is why I am asking for some prayers because at this point I am very weary. It is what it is and all I can do is power on as best I can, and Treeper prayer sure would be appreciated to give me the boost I need.
Asking the Lord Jesus Christ to attend you in your surgery, to help you with transportation, to guide the hands of the surgeons who will operate, to give you strength in your weariness, & to help you to a full & fast recovery. God bless you, LMGA.
Thank you so much.
Transport is worked out! I appreciate the rest of your prayer, especially the fast recovery part. Somehow I got it in my head it would only be a few weeks of recovery, simple, easy peasy. The doc told me yesterday it could take a year. Not sure how that part was miscommunicated from my numerous visits w/him, but it was a shocker. I am sticking w/my plan of a few weeks and your prayer request of a fast recovery:)
may God lift you up and make the path straight, dear friend. we will be praying you through and waiting to hear back.
Thank you. This morning prayers were answered! Now to make it through and beyond. It has been so crazy, much harder than it should be, but no doubt it is all for a reason.
We have your back! Prayers going up for you that all will be worked out, surgery will be successful. Feel the Treeper boost! Blessings to you Leavemygunsalone.
Thanks NanaB!
Welp, this morning I finally got the call I have been waiting for, ride details are worked out! It is such a relief to not have to wrangle w/that piece of it anymore. Thank ya’ll for your prayers to get it confirmed and tidied up.
Praise God for that!
Having 2 procedures done on Friday, Dec 1st.
Will be offline for a few days. Praying all goes well
touch the hem of His robe and be assured that all will be well. in prayer, will be awaiting your return, dear one.
Thank you
We pray with you for all to go well and you are on your way to recovery and health Citizen 817.
Praying for you Citizen 817. Everything is going to be all right.
Citizen 817, I’ll be saying a prayer for you!
Get well soon! And can’t wait to see your posts when you return!
Praying in unity with you for successful procedures & good health to come, in Jesus’ name. The Lord bless you.
Things didn’t go as planned for today’s procedures at John Hopkins. Was down and ready to proceed when Doctor came and told me they could not do it because hemoglobin level too low. I expect I’ll be getting blood transfusion early next week, hopefully.
Thanks for the prayers and well wishes.
oof! these delays are very frustrating, but, God has His reasons, Ive found. all works together for good. we are still here. and, we are still praying.
It is a let down to be prepared and ready to roll, then hit a roadblock, but keep the faith. Breathe in the Love and exhale the fear.
The prayers are still happening, so are the well wishes.
I’m rescheduled for Wednesday, December 6th
Johns Hopkins 11:45am
I will keep you, your surgeons and his assistants, in my prayers…Hoping all goes well!
Thank you for the update. We will be praying hard for you and your surgeon as well as the nurses taking care of you.
We will be with you!
Praying for you tonight!
Tomorrow is your surgeries and treepers are praying for you and with you. Before heading into my neck surgery I asked Jesus to come along with me. Maybe a bit childish but I did feel His presence with me. I did. I hope tomorrow you do too. May God bless you and give your comfort and peace. We will look forward to hearing from you when you are able!
@Citizen 817 have a speedy recovery! Can’t wait to read your posts when you’re feeling up to it!
Praying for you that you are getting your procedure right now and all is going well!
I just got off of the thread about the WAPO article re. Donald Trump…..
Dear God, humbly we ask Thee to heal our nation and the world most especially the people who wish death upon other individuals. We pray for peace everywhere. We pray for sanity in American Politics. We pray for the respect for ALL life. We pray for our heartsick brethren, as well. God, many of us do not know what else to do but pray and trust in You. Thy will be done. Oh…and please wrap your arms around all these Treepers here with health, financial and family issues and whatever is stressing them…Amen.
and amen.
Please pray for me, my health isn’t good even though I have taken measures to correct it, now I think I sustained a hernia. My anxiety about my health and ability to take care of myself and my Son are driving me insane.
Please pray for me.
lee, not sure which kind of hernia you may have, but earthclinic.com may have some home remedy suggestions for you. we will pray and pray some more. and, as the song says–turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face.
Praying that the Lord would envelope you with His peace & place His healing touch upon you. God bless, Lee.
@Lee, saying a prayer for you!
As for your anxiety, just remember you aren’t alone!
Praying for you Lee and your son. I think many people are feeling what you are feeling. Let Go, Let God is what I have to tell myself.
A prayer of Thanksgiving…God does work in mysterious ways…I came very close to being on the road in TN…going thru Clarksville for a trip down south….And very likely would have been going thru there when the tornado hit.
Dear God, Thank you for placing me in a situation that delayed travels…second thoughts, finances, final leaf raking..the little annoyances that all turned out to be blessings in disguise. Dear Lord, I offer prayers for the good people hit by these tornadoes and may they recover quickly…may those who lost family and friends, receive Your peace…Amen.
This is very near where my friend who passed away, lived. His rehab was in Clarksville although he lived in KY.
I promised mom that I would not put her in a facility … I could not keep my promise. She needed more care than I could provide. Placed her in hospice on Thursday, she passed quietly on Friday less than 24 hours after she was admitted. At 98 she is finally home. Please pray for me and my family at our time of great loss. Thank you.
hospice is a blessing and your loss is real. Im sure your mom knew you had done everything you could and was ready to go home. she had a long life and a loving daughter. now she has eternal life and a loving Father. prayers for you, pam, and all thanks to God.
Thank you for your kindness.
Praying that the peace of the Lord would cover you & your family right now. The Lord bless you, Pam.
Kind words Joe. Thank you.
@PamIam, you were trying to do the best for your Mom, because you loved her, and she loved you. The promise was made out of love and what you did was out of love – you did all you could and more, please don’t doubt yourself.
I will pray for your Mother, and I will pray for you.
Update on my health issues.
Yesterday, I was diagnosed with stomach cancer.
Other than weight loss,
I am asymptomatic.
Will connect with Radiology and Surgeon on December 21st.
Oh citizen 817. This is not the report any of us were praying for. We will keep you in our prayers that radiology and your surgeon will have some options for you to heal you. In the meantime, know that many of us treepers will be holding you up in prayer and sending our love and peace.
I will be praying that the cancer is small and that God guides the surgeon’s hand for complete and total removal. we thank God for hearing our prayers and for the healing that is already in the making, dear citizen.
Joining with others to add my prayers for a full and sustained plan for treatment and recovery. Hearing that you’re asymptomatic sounds like you probably have caught this at a very early stage. Praying that with a good set of surgeons, and the grace and guidance of our Father, you will be able to survive for a long time to come.
@Citizen 817, stay strong! We’re here for you!
Praying for you Citizen 817.May the Almighty hear all our prayers for you and guide the health professionals to make you well again.Blessings for you and your family.Shalom.
I’m so sorry, Citizen. I pray the Lord Jesus Christ would touch you with His almighty healing power & make you whole. I pray He will direct the surgeon during the operation & give you a fast & complete recovery. God bless you.
Praying for you Citizen 817.
May I add my prayers to the list of all Treepers who ask God to guide your doctors well and keep you feeling asymptomatic.
I am so sorry to hear that Citizen817. I pray the doctors caught it early and it responds well to treatment. I believe with all my heart prayer healed my grandson, so I am paying that forward to you. Merciful God, please hear our prayers for Citizen817, his family and friends.
Praying for your good health and complete healing!
May the lord bless and keep you, may he shine his face on you and be gracious to you, may he turn his head to you and grant you peace. Luv from Pittsburgh PA.
If I were you, I’d try Ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine together. If you cannot get these, then quercetin. I’d also go to your health food store and get a good refrigerated probiotic (all disease starts in the gut). Eat lots of really dark grapes as well and pray. I hope you get better soon.
good words.
Prayers
Prayers for you Citizen, you are an awesome keyboard warrior, wise in your words, effective in what you choose to investigate, accurate in what you say, effective in how you say it. Whenever I see your handle I read, because I know it will be worth taking the time to read. So I thank you.

Thanks for the prayers.
Just taking it one day at a time.
That’s the best attitude you can have Citizen 817 !
Hubby has been battling pancreatic cancer for three years now..
Thru operations, too many scans to count , chemo and radiation ,
we have lived everyday doing as much regular stuff as possible.
Be yourself everyday !
Praying for you every night !
One day is all we have in this life. The lord will keep you in his mantle through this difficult time.
blessed words.
So very sorry to hear of your diagnosis. Of course you will be in my prayers. Don’t know where you live, but I am in Western KY and if I can do anything else for you please reach out.
Ad rem: I give you permission to share my email address with Citizen if he requests it.
I’m in Baltimore burbs.
I leave my fate in God’s loving hands & Johns Hopkins Hospital
I lived in Delmar, DE for 30.yrars and the Electrophysiologist I worked for trained at Hopkins. Went there several times as his nurse for some training, and my mother received cancer care there. Fine folks there who know their stuff. God’s hands and theirs? You can’t do better! Please keep us updated.
P.S. I made the assumption you are a “he.” If you aren’t, sorry about that.
I’m a guy named Michael.
Much thanks to everyone for the prayers, support, love, and kind words.
Michael, I am praying for you, Friend. Praying for your Oncologist too, to find just the right treatment to kick the crap out of this cancer and for it to be completely eradicated from your body. In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN.
Live every moment with reckless abandon. You never know how God may use you to reach others through this.
Speaking of – anybody seen Eve lately? (BCSurvivor) She’s an excellent cancer butt-kicker and her moxy is infectious… in a good way! Praying for her now, too. God Be Praised!
Hi JWoo,
thanks for the shout out 😀 I’m still kicking cancers behind. The estrogen blocker I’m taking is starting to show its side effects , some nausea and fatigue but it’s doable. Hope you and Samantha are well.
Michael🙏 yes one day at a time. Having cancer isn’t all bad, it sure puts one’s mind right about what’s important and dear. My sons while attentive are even more so now. They call me very often and conversations are long and lovely 🥰 be well,
Eve
Hello, Eve, darling lady!
I have heard that some really only begin to start living… after they’ve been diagnosed with cancer. A jump start to a Purpose-driven life and falling away from all the noise of this world.
I just pray for impactful and meaningful experiences, peace and joy that surpasses all understanding. Eyes and ears wide open to God’s Wonders and beauty.
Eve, so glad to hear your sons are so attentive to their sweet Mom. A blessing.
I pray also for your friend who has cancer who had the brain surgery. I know little of her details, but remember our prayers for her. God knows the details and I’m grateful for His Sovereignty.
Love to you, friend, and many Christmas blessings.
Savannah is doing well. We’ve had some bumps in the road. Being a Christian is hard in this world especially for a teenager in public high school surrounded by so many pressures.
I “have to hold her loosely, because it hurts when God pries her from my hands.” as Corrie ten Boom would say.
Much love to you, Eve. I pray the estrogen blocker side effects would ease for you, friend.
Love to you on this very gray and rainy day,hopefully the rain transitions into a bit of snow tomorrow.
yes, the noise does diminish but the anxiety does creep in at times and I don’t have my garden to retreat too, just now. I’m thinking I will learn to pray the rosary to calm my mind.
Miss Savannah has a good foundation because of you. She’ll be just fine while she’s finding herself.
my friend could use a lot of prayers. The chemotherapy and radiation therapy has damaged her heart so it’s very difficult for her to breathe, she’s on a machine that helps her but after speaking with her last night it doesn’t sound like a long term solution. She is very upbeat but I hear the resignation in her voice. So please pray for her.
gotta go. My two chickens await their afternoon snack.
peace,
Eve
Michael means “who is like God” or “a gift from God”. Is of Hebrew origin…..
names are important.
Yes, it is Hebrew origin. And I’m Jewish.
Was told it meant “next to God”.
Will find out what stage I am in on Thursday, at Johns Hopkins. Right after I have CT imaging with IV CONTRAST, I meet with surgeon.
However this turns out, I am mentally prepared (for death) to meet him,
The Father.
Praying for you Citizen817,and may the Almighty lead these surgeons in preventing that outcome.Amen.
Keeping you in prayers for Thursday, Michael.
Best blessings to you Michael,
I will be praying for you to have a very good outcome from your CT scan.
I admire your courage and faith.
My name ,Eve, means Life or living and I’m trying my hardest to live up to it.
peace,
Eve
@Citizen 817, please keep a positive mentality – as long as there’s a chance for recover there’s hope!
I’m praying for you, and we haven’t given up on you!
I will go with what you say…Am praying for you and successful procedures and treatments….
Praying for you for tomorrow, for the best possible outcome & that the Lord’s will be done. God bless you, Michael.
Praying in unity, Citizen 817. Thinking of you, brother. You can do all things through Christ Who strengthens you.
Prayers for newborn Alejandro, doctors are now using dialysis to aid in kidney function. Doctors are saying that if dialysis does not “kick start” kidney function…they have done all they can do.
Let God arise…
Prayers going up for this sweet baby. Please God, in Jesus’ name. Give peace to this family as they await your healing.
Lord, please touch this poor little one that he might live. In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
Definitely saying a prayer for Baby Alex, please keep us up to day dzanddz!
Hopefully this will do the ‘kick start’…Prayers on the way!
@dzanddz, is there any word on Baby Alex?
Prayers up for this man who was in a horrible motorcycle accident last week. He has two broken legs and a long recovery in front of him.

Prayers going up for Citizen 817….today is the day he goes in for the CT scan.
Saying a prayer for Citizen 817 and positive thoughts! Hopefully he’ll be able to post before New Year!
This is not the good news I wish I was sharing, but not unexpected… to me.
Stage 4
3 to 6 months left to live.
When I lose the ability to swallow food, I will enter hospice.
I’ve had a great run in my life (legendary as my closest friends have said).
I am ready.
I’m so sorry to hear this Michael!
Just remember we’re here for you!
I know that. Thanks for the prayers and the fellowship that CTH brings to us all.
Like I said in my prior post, I believe that I am ready… or, it just hasn’t hit me yet.
Will continue to lead my best life until GOD wants to see me. Until then, nothing will change.
Am very sorry to hear this Citizen 817.May the Almighty’s love be with you and console you as He calls you home.
Michael,
It must have been really hard to write that. Thank you for sharing with us during this intense and intimate time. It is our honor to share this journey with you and pray alongside you as you proceed forward.
May God draw you closer and may his warmth and surety overwhelm your Spirit. I pray you peace and that you finish your race with not a whimper but a REJOICE!
Sending love and prayers, brother.
I have no words Citizen. I will pray for a miracle…or at the very least your continued comfort. You have given us all so much throughout the past several years. If there is anything we can do for you, well…you have just to ask.
No words, just hugs and prayers.
I wrote a longer response…got cut off…refreshed. So will will quickly say this…praying for you…be well with your soul. Don’t give up quite yet. God determines our coming home to Him…no one else. Live each day as you wish. Stay in peace. Treepers sending our love…hope heaven has a branch for all of us!!!
Michael, I wish there were something I could say to adequately convey how sorry I am to read this. I will simply tell you something I told my father last year as he was in the process of passing from leukemia. You are in the very unique position where there are only two possible outcomes for you, & either one is guaranteed to result in you being completely & totally healed. The only question is whether that healing takes place here on earth or in the portals of glory. In my dad’s case it was the latter, but your story is not done being written yet. So I will continue to pray for the Lord to touch you with His miraculous healing power until such time as He decides to call you home.
God bless you, brother.
Oh dear Michael,
so sorry to hear this.
blessings,
peace,
Eve
I’ve only absorbed the initial diagnosis for 1 day.
My thoughts for today are:
1) Have all my records transferred from Johns Hopkins to another facility outside of Hopkins dominance in Maryland
(Worldwide rated) .
2nd opinion is and always is prudent, and definitely can’t hurt. Worst case is nothing changes.
2) Explore:
Physician Assisted Suicide
aka
Right to die
aka
Euthanasia
Maryland, like most states, does not offer this.
Definitely going with Number 1
The PAS would be available to me in Vermont or Oregon ( with the little research I have done) because no requirement for state residency.
This is a bit controversial, IMO, dealing with religious views, and my own as well….
I can be buried in a Jewish cemetery if I go that route.
At this point, I’m not really leaning that way.
These are just some of the thoughts that have passed through my brain.
Just sharing,
Michael
My faith is still very strong in GOD… always has been.
God will lead you, dear friend. there are alternative treatments, should you consider them–vit C infusions, even ivermectin/panacur, etc. we will be praying that God places you with the right person and in the right place because that is what He does when we ask Him to show us the way.
A 2nd opinion is a good idea, especially if you can find alternative type treatment options. Keep scouring the internet, I am always reading about medical treatments in the Substacks.
DC may have PAS. I recently learned that you have to have a medical directive to be a DNR, do not resuscitate, and that requires a lawyer. I was told by the place I was having surgery “we do not honor DNR’s”, that is crazy, people have a right to choose. It used to be you simply signed a paper, apparently that no longer applies. So I am just now looking into what I can do about that and the cost.
As you say it has only been a day, and honestly for the next few days not much of anything is going to happen because of the holiday so try to relax and do something you enjoy. I will be praying for you to get the guidance to the answers you are searching for and to find some peace, there is no wrong choice, you know yourself and need to do what is best for you.
Michael,
A second opinion is never a bad idea, so that’s definitely worthwhile. As far as the second option you mentioned, that’s something that will have to be between you & the Lord, but I would strongly caution you on this. I believe that the Bible is fairly clear that it’s against the will of God, but as I said, ultimately it’s something that will have to be between you & Him.
The very best thing one can do is rest in the knowledge that they have made Jesus Christ their personal Savior & that He will be waiting with open arms to receive them upon their entrance into Glory. Take comfort in that truth & let the Lord lead you in whatever may come next.
Amen, dear Joe. You always have the right words …
May you and your Mother be filled with God’s peace this Christmas season, and forever more.
Thank you, Miss Della. The Lord bless & keep you.
An update on Baby Jackson Field.
Please pray for this family related to Treeper, Frank Field.
Today
by Mariah Field, Organizer
Eight months Day +44
This has been the hardest month by far. We have gone to the PICU on three separate occasions and will be spending our first family Christmas here.
Jackson was emergency intubated almost 2 weeks ago and we thought we were making great progress towards extubation, until 2 new diagnoses were made – VOD and pulmonary hypertension. The aspiration event caused so much trauma to his lungs that it sent his whole body into an inflammatory response. Now his lungs, heart, kidneys and liver are injured.
At the beginning of our admission to the hospital and going through transplant, we felt so lucky that Jackson was seemingly “flying” through treatment. But we have now learned how quickly things can change. We are taking everything day by day while trying to navigate these new diagnoses and remembering that even small steps are big progress. We can’t wait until the day that we get to see his sweet smile and precious eyes again.
Pictures available here:

Prayers are needed for a friend to find his way back to the Lord.
I am adding your friend to my list, greg. thank you for caring for him.
Praying for that friend to be led by Jesus back to his first love. God bless, Greg.
Amen, Joe … Fitting words of prayer for a Christmas morn!
May God draw him with lovingkindness – and keep him there all of his days!
🙏🏻
In the season of hope…I hope. And pray. I ask all for prayers for my own son who is and has been a political target of the current state. And for me as the last 2 years have been an exhaustive emotional roller coaster and there is much I do not understand, other than the harassments. And taking them to the foot of the cross. There is so much and it is beyond human endurance.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for justice…..
praying for a hedge of protection around mother and son. a mighty fortress is our God.
Lifting you & your son up in prayer, Aggie. May the Lord renew your strength & keep you in His care.
Amen, amen.
@Aggiegirl, will say a prayer for your son! But if you don’t mind me asking about the harassment, could you tell us what’s happening?
Please say a prayer for the soul of my deeply beloved wife Karen, who left the mortal realm a year ago 12.28.2002. She left behind a devastated husband and 3 adult chidren at age 57. Her life was devoted to God, who chose to end her suffering of 7 open heart surgeries in the 12 days she was in cardiac ICU. Coincidentally, she was a cardiac care nurse in the hospital where she died. She had a tremendous impact on the people around her, evidenced by the huge attendance at her funeral. More impact than she never knew in life.
We still miss you terribly, Karen. I pray you have the peace you always deserved.
Praying that the peace of the Lord surrounds you on this extremely difficult day. God bless, Orson.
