Dontsteponthemomeraths - Prayers especially for her lovely man (LM) as the court case heads to High Court, there have been so many delays but it should get there in January. That God would make a way, where there is no way, help him to afford the court fees and that he will finally have the closure; contact with his children and a maintenance agreement in place that is fair to him, his ex wife and to the children. For justice. It's 6 years since divorce due to her infidelity and it is so hard for him. The children and ex wife live in another Country and the legal system there is very different. Prayers that he has freedom from his past and doesn't live in it anymore but breaks free and moves forward in all God has for him.
And for my brother, that his thumb heals fully and that with the rehabilitation he regains movement and use and that his nerves and feelings across the top of his hand come back. The outlook is not positive currently.

Oma clamps CaptainCavemen to her ample bosom: Where have you been all this time. (Bit sneaky, since I have seen you on Facebook, but still lovely to see you here). I can't believe that ds2 is 4, quite amazing. Ds1 being 8 is somehow less of a surprise. 
Prayers for your exploits with messy church, my dd who says she is a confirmed atheist still takes the children to messy church and they all have a good time there.
Praying for you Faith and your little sprog and praying that your cold will ease. If not, take care of yourself and call in sick.
And praying for Ginger's family and for TUO on her break without internet access.
I am waiting for the out of hours surgery to ring me back yet again as Bob is have terrible tummy trouble because of the antibiotics. They are very busy and this is not as urgent as my earlier calls have been, so I've been waiting for nearly two hours for them to ring me back.
prayers as I read through, especially for DO and Bob and BES.
Urgent prayer request please for DD1. For those who dont know she has suffered depression for a few months. I was worried about Christmas, but it went surprisingly well and we had a lovely skype session. Since then it has been a downward slope and DD3 is getting the brunt of her anger and frustration, which is just not fair on her. Please pray for her to be calm and for the depression to lift from her. I feel so helpless being so far away. 
He's going back to the hospital regularly for dressing changes but he's mostly sleeping. I think he's managing 4 hrs awake a day. He did loose a lot of blood, as well as the major surgery. Perhaps that's it.
It could get confusing on thread with my pastor and oma's hubby. Shall we refer to him as my pastor? 
That should've been pate with the ^ and '
Obviously confused mn I am typing on my phone though.
wey hey.... I am back on line though a little queasy as everything has changed colour and a different operating system is driving me bonkers. i can see you and read and post though so that is good news... I was also running out of credit on my phone... so no texting either yesterday.
got to vacate the computer soon to see if h can fix windows... oh and I want my tea without it getting stolen from the fork between plate and mouth 
small boy has been very trying lately cooped up inside with lots of rain and a not so well mum.
mum is difficult at the moment. she does not seem to appreciate that we have made a decision about her future... ie to renew her stay for another 2 weeks as she want s to go home eventually but is not quite ready. she is going over the same ground again and again. she wants to know exactly when I am going to visit and the answer when I have stopped being too dizzy to drive is not good enough. prayers for drying out sinuses would be appreciated.
oh amber. not good. 
well, i am in windows, sort of... thinggs are stretched sideways. apparently the version of windows we are using is old and had a wobbly when it encountered the monitor... sort of "what the heck was that?" and a refusal to work! h can't get the monitor driver to run... but has managed to do something to get a lesser resolution or something technical.. 
I'm hiding upstairs tonight after a little run in with mil 
Thankfully I go home tomorrow and DS can get back to normality. Long drive though first.
It was baked potatoes tonight and salad.
now you see that would suit dd mome. she likes baked potatoes and has chosen that in preference to chips when out. she is better at punctuation than me (not difficult) asking questions about science I can not remember tha answer to.. and is more mature in her food choices than I am. ds on the other hand...
oo I am pleased I have just found the last ankle breaker marble from the present sil sent. astounding... given the mess
definatily think my childern are weird...
tears over broccoli... because they can't have more
In agony with earache, had to call in sick. 111 reckon it'll settle on its own but prayer for relief greatly appreciated!
Not feeling 100% myself. Prayers for healing all round.
BES, I once told my kids that if they didn't behave themselves, they couldn't have any more sproutes
