Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Just an open personal message, a prayer for anon u/BerlinWallCrosser who (the last I’d read) is going in for cardiac surgery tomorrow.
Heavenly Father, we come to You today on behalf of anon BerlinWallCrosser who is going in for a medical procedure tomorrow. Father, we ask You to shield and protect this valued anon from all negative forces, to guide the surgeons’ hands and those of all medical professionals involved in his care to provide the utmost, most excellent care to our anon. Lord, we ask that You heal our anon completely and strengthen him so that he comes out of this procedure stronger and healthier than before.
Lord, calm any anxiety he, his wife and any others of his beloved are feeling at this time and give him and his loved ones strength and patience to work together for a very successful recovery. Lord, let them feel Your love and assurance, Your power and healing as they go forth through this health challenge. And finally, Lord, please bestow upon BerlinWallCrosser the understanding and patience to pace himself during his recovery so that he doesn’t try to do too much too soon.
Lord, as always we thank You for the blessings of these amazing bodies that heal, for the many wonderful, caring people we meet over time, some like our anon only virtually and for Your eternal love which You grace us with every day. In Jesus’ loving name. 🙏✝️
BWC — we’ll be praying for you for a successful surgery and quick recovery. Do take it easy afterwards and we’ll be looking forward to your many interesting, informative and humorous contributions when you’re back to 100%. God bless.
What a beautiful prayer 🙏🏻. And yes I will be lifting him up to our Heavenly Father as well. Don’t k ow the time difference where he is but I’m sure I will be waking up during the night and I assure each time I am that I will pray for our dear brother. ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you, fren. The surgery is still on for tomorrow and I check in in the morning and I will probably be under the knife around noon. My cardiologist expects a week stay with rehab beginning sometime after. I hope to be back to my normal workout routine by the beginning of summer. I probably won’t see a computer screen for 4 or 5 days so I will probably fall behind the latest news on GAW. I will let this board know when I am back behind a keyboard. In the meantime, keep up the fight good frens. I have no qualms about tomorrow because, between this board, my church, my friends, family, and former colleagues, I have an army of people praying on my behalf.
haha, funny how life works (or how God directs traffic) cause... I just pulled your page up cause i was gonna message you and remind you that you never answered me about Adam Calhoun (just cause if you havent heard it, I love getting peoples reaction opinion to it. it "shocks" those who dont understand it
anyway though so yeah trying to get back to you about that song which didnt really matter at all just thought youd get a kek out of it - led me to seeing this comment.
<3 Will put my sword into that army for you and pray, fren.
Stay strong Fren ❤️🙏🏻
Prayers on the way fren.
Prayers fren!
Sending prayers your way. Give yourself time to heal the GAW crew will be here waiting for your speedy recovery and return. Blessings to you.
Amen
