My mom has Pneumonia and is septic. Pray that the meds to their job as she has a very compromised immune system. And this came on quick so I'm praying they caught it early.

Please keep Barb Hicks in prayer as she enters into her final days of life.
Please also keep her children Brian and Monica in prayers. Lastly keep her husband D in prayer. They really need it right now.
I don't want to ask prayers for myself. However this stuff with my mom is triggering bad anxiety in me. I cannot do the Lord's work when in the middle of this kind of attack.
Went from "major" to "urgent". Both are feeling worse today. Praying this does not turn into a hospital visit for either. They are in their 70's and my mom has a very compromised immune system.
Major prayer request: my parents got hit with some kind of respiratory bug prayers for healing. Dad has an extra issue of concern. Pray he can make it to his doc appointment tomorrow morning. Praying things resolve before it becomes an issue. Blessed Solanus Casey intercede.

One of the reasons why I love parishes that have a lot of stained glass windows. You see the faith in a visual form. Gives me something to focus on when I'm having a day full of internal distractions.
My mom (Mary) is asking for prayers: She's back in AFib. Praying the meds do the job and get things back under control with out dramatic medical intervention. Last time you prayed for her the AFib went away on it's own with in a few hours.
Urgent Prayer request: My mom has another sepsis infection. Last time this sent her to the hospital for a few weeks. Praying that we can avoid it given her past issues.
Not sure I ever mentioned this. So forgive me if I am repeating myself. For those who have been praying for my mom while she has been facing cancer. As of recently she is considered in remission.

desperate need of
#prayer
. My mom (Mary) is having another Afib episode. Pray for the wisdom of the docs and that it settles down. Also ask for the intercession of Blessed Solanus Casey on this desperate matter.
People can be critical and mock me all they want. It doesn't matter in the long run. What matters to me is serving the Lord using the talents I've been given.
Things are still not very stable with my mom. We only have about three more options to try to get the Afib under control and it is not looking too grand. May the Holy Spirit guide us. May Blessed Solanus Casey intercede in this matter.
My mom (Mary) is asking for prayers this morning. She worried and fearful that the skin infection she got last week will return. Given her health conditions her fear is legit. Pray that she is going to be OK and no further issues develop.
I've started sending another round of emails to parishes about securing a few display locations. Please pray that I get some kind of response. With the last few days I could use some uplifting news. It's not the "no" I worry about. It's the total silence.
9 years ago tomorrow, I started dating Kat. She and her family have been an important part of my life. I am thankful every day. Photo is from early on in our relationship.
Mom, Mary, is being admitted. Sepsis infection. Given her weak immune system not a surprise. Pray:
Docs can figure out the best treatment.
That the meds do the job effectively.
No further complications. With her health issues this is a legit worry.
Blessed Solanus please help.
Keep someone named Michelle in prayer. Not sure what is going on. Just a strong desire to pray for her. Sometimes the Holy Spirit puts a name on our hearts.
Recently saw a post of Pope Francis needing help getting up out of a wheelchair. The person who posted was critical and mocking. I don't care how you feel about the Pope. Mocking anyone for their challenges is not something Catholics should do.

request: My mom is having an Afib episode. Pray that they can get it under control with out going to the ER tonight. This is on top of the other stuff going on.
For 20 Seasons I've been building

churches w/LEGO. Showing that even if you face a challenge or

(like I do) that God can still use your talents! I'm building the faith one (LEGO) brick at at a time! See what God is doing in my life!
Prayer request. My dad's blood pressure has been acting up again. Pray that things settle down before they become a crisis. That the extra medications do their job. Probably just anxiety so pray that whatever is triggering it would also settle down.
Anxiety is something that is completely involuntary. It is a legit medial issue. It is not a matter of a lack of faith or trust in God. Rather it is an irrational fear response that can strike at any time and often times with no reason. I'm in the middle of an attack myself.
Could use a few extra prayers today. Just feeling kind of rough around the edges. Think it's related to an increase in my anxiety along with a few other issues that have decided to fire up.
Please keep Charlie W. in your prayers. He's on his way to the ER with some severe pain. He's in his 80's and his wife and daughter are my main rides to Mass.
@NPRJoeShapiro
The rules for SSI and Social Security need to be updated. Feels like if you make one wrong step you risk losing everything. This is a good article and I'm glad this issue is getting some much needed light.

Seems strange to me that I'm about to head into my 25th year of doing this. Doesn't seem real. I'm not well known. I'm not even close to being famous. Sometimes I wonder if I'm having a positive impact on things. Yet thankful the Lord has a mission for me.
#Prayer
Request: My mom has been dealing with a really nasty infection for the past few weeks. Praying for healing and wisdom of the doctors to figure out how to treat it.
My mom (Mary) is back in the ER with severe leg/knee pain that the docs can't figure out what is causing it. Please
#pray
they can figure out what is going on and the best way to treat it.

Can everyone keep my dad (Mike) in prayer? He's been having some issues with his blood pressure. Nothing critical right now. But at the same time kind of heading too close to "yellow alert" for my liking.
Just keep me in prayer. The endless roadblocks I keep running into have left me extremely discourage and doubtful that I am doing the Lord's work. If it's not the out right "we are not interested" to just being ghosted. After a while it wears on you. Today it caught up.
Urgent Prayer: My dad (Mike) has been having issues with unstable blood pressure for the past few days. Starting to get closer to the "red alert" area. Prayers for wisdom as to what is going on and how best to treat it before it comes a crisis. Blessed Solanus Casey please help!
OK. I'll post a hot take: Parishes should do more to help those who are elderly, disabled, and are otherwise unable to drive have a chance to attend Mass in person if they so desire.
@Catholic4Choice
True Catholics believe that abortion is murder. They are willing to defend life. I'm not one to use the word "heresy". But you guys fit the bill 100%. Not sure how you remain in good standing.

Some will stumble on this feed and wonder who is he and what does he do?
I'm John. I'm based in Saginaw, MI. I have a mild form of cerebral palsy and I'm known for building giant churches out of LEGO.
Update: Seems to be some confusion with one of the heart docs. Prayers for wisdom that their are no unnecessary treatments. Also prayers for my dad has he's not feeling good on top of this. We need a few miracles. Even if they are small one today.
My mom has Pneumonia and is septic. Pray that the meds to their job as she has a very compromised immune system. And this came on quick so I'm praying they caught it early.
Please keep my mom (Mary) In prayer this morning. She picked up some kind of sinus bug. Normally wouldn't be a big deal. But she doesn't have the most robust immune system.
Update ??: Things are moving in the right direction with my mom. This after a 30 min phone call with her. Still a few worries to keep in prayer. Also as a result of what is going on. My dad's BP has been a little wonky. Pray it settles down.
Too many things bugging me this morning. Anxiety and fears overshadowing me. May the Holy Spirit give me wisdom for my challenges and peace in my heart. I can't do the Lord's work when I'm like this.
For those new to the feeds. I'm John. Sometimes go by "JM". I have a mild form of cerebral palsy which causes me all kinds of problems. I'm the face behind the "Lego Church Project".
@WVUCavalier
I think it is disgusting that you treat people with disabilities rather unfairly. That you think of us (those with disabilities) as props instead of seeing us as people.
@Sachinettiyil
As someone who has a disability these kind of laws scare me. As they are often used to target those who may be born with disabilities. Eugenics at it's worse.
My mom is asking for more prayers: She's been feeling kind of rough the last few days. Including an unexplained skin issue. Prayers for extra wisdom on what to do before it becomes a crisis.
Updated Prayer List:
On going prayers for my mom for the current health issue.
Wisdom for me on when and who to contact when it comes to The Project.
Prayers that my worker and I can figure out the paperwork so she can get payed.
That this anxiety attack settles down.
In the stress of my life. I turn my eyes to Christ. Praying a silent prayer that only He knows. Telling of my own internal struggles that create in me an endless storm of devastating waves. The times when I feel like I am drowning more than I am living.
It has been a challenging a few weeks for me. Grace of God I am still standing. While things still have a long way before they are stable. I've been able to use this time to learn more about myself and my relationship with Christ.
I could use some extra prayers. One of those rare times when every windmill I see turns into a dragon of some kind. Anxiety combined with OCD induced panic. Makes for a very entertaining day.
Not sure if anyone picked up on it. But yesterday I had a pretty bad anxiety attack. I am still dealing with some of the after effects. For those new to the feed this happens way more than I care to admit. Just part of living with various challenges. Pray this passes.

Please keep a young woman named Katelyn in your prayers. She's been in the ER for the last few days. She is the inspiration for the LEGO Power Chair that I built a few years ago.
@JosephFordCotto
You make the assumption that the Church is for the pious and the just. Those who are above everyone else. Like some Grand Hotel. Instead the church is about the lowly. The weak. The sinner. It is more of a hospital for the broken. Even those with profound arrogance.
Brian Simms accuses people who are Christian of being bullies. Yet in his one infamous video. He is clearly harassing a woman who only protest is being quiet and praying the Rosary. Yet his he wants to call us the bullies. Let that sink in for a moment.
