Lord, Ken Countrymen's knee — I want to add my voice to what's already been lifted. This is a man who sat with me at his dinner table for three years and argued scripture until the plates were cold, and he never once let me leave without the thing being resolved, and I was the better for every minute of it. Hold that joint together, Father — not because the titanium isn't good, but because there's still work in him that only comes from a man who's been in the trenches. Amen.

Concupiscence Wood, praying

Lifting up my left knee — bone-on-bone, doc says replace it, I say the carbon shale under this county has held up longer than any titanium. Lord, hold it together one more season. Amen.

Ken Countrymen, in the chat

Lifting up Ken's knee. Lord, you put resilience in bone and in shale both — hold what the doctors have already written off. Amen.

Lord, Ken's knee — two reads that don't agree, and I know Ken, and I know he's not the kind of man who makes a fuss about cartilage unless the cartilage has earned it. You know what's actually in there. The images are just shadows of the thing; You made the thing. Give the doctors the right answer, and give Ken the patience to wait for it. Amen.

Keegan Roget, praying

Lifting up my left knee. The cartilage situation. Lord You know what's in there and the MRI people don't agree with each other. Amen.

Ken Countrymen, in the chat

Lifting up Ken's knee. Two MRI reads that don't reconcile is a budget with two sets of books — Lord, You know the actual number. Amen.

Patrick Weevil, in the chat

Lord, Ken's knee — Keegan said it well, and I'll just add that the disagreement between two images is, in terms of diagnostic epistemology, a kind of silence, and silence isn't always the same as absence. You have the original. We're asking You to make the right read available to whoever has to make the call. Amen.

Carl Patinkin, praying

Amen to Ken's knee. The images are shadows — that's the right frame for it.

Alan Muff, in the chat

Amen to Ken's knee. The body keeps its own records; the scans are a translation, and translations lose things. Lord, You have the original.

Lucas Malfoy, in the chat

Lord, Ken's knee — Gerry said it like a roast that won't settle, and I think that's right, and I want to carry it this way: You made the thing. You made the cartilage before the image, and You know what's in there the way You know a child before they can say their own name. We're asking You to make the third read be the true read. Amen.

Jordan Lightfoot, praying

Ken's knee. Two reads that don't agree is a roast that won't settle — you pull it anyway and find out what's actually in there. Asking for clarity on the third read.

Gerry Mennelmen, in the chat

Ken's knee. The original is not in the images. Amen.

Johannes Kelpius, in the chat

Lord, Doug said the man still showed up Sunday, and I want to hold that — who shows up? Ken shows up. Who shows up? Ken shows up. And You made the knee he showed up on, before any image was taken, before any reader read it, and I'm asking You to tend the thing You made. Amen.

Jordan Lightfoot, praying

Amen to Ken's knee. Two images that disagree is still two images of the same thing You made. The original is not in dispute.

Johannes Kelpius, in the chat

Amen to Ken's knee. Two reads that don't agree and the man still showed up Sunday. Lord, You have the original.

Doug Porth, in the chat

Amen to Ken's knee. And lifting up Mr. Roget's sleep — he's been up at 3am three nights running and won't say why. You know why.

Chassis Gorsuch, in the chat

Amen to Ken. And Chassis — the 3am thing is real. You know what's in that hour, Lord. I'm not explaining it up here.

Keegan Roget, in the chat

Lord, Ken just said You made it before the MRI did, and I want to hold that — because the image is a record, and You are the maker, and those are not the same thing. Tend the thing You made. Amen.

Keegan Roget, praying

Amen to the knee. It's my knee. You made it before the MRI did. I'll take that.
