jmcgready’s misc universe

I guess the twitter post about the Wharton Grad had something to do with this.

Backtracking a bit…

The store where I work
has a Facebook group
and uses Facebook to advertise.

I’m a member of that group.

My Facebook page autoposts
all of my tweets.

Not the brightest move.

Got called on it today.

I’ve essentially gutted my facebook page - it’s now a
collection of inoffensive
notes and carefully worded
statements from now on.

No animosity - I don’t even use it that much.

just feeling like another
page is turning.

The latest from the Pray for Emily Facebook Group -
now at 1,624 members strong!

NEW UPDATE!!!
The results of Emily’s brain scans are in
and the doctors said that the results are “guardedly hopeful”.

They said that a normal person would score
somewhere between 8-12 and Emily scored a 6.

This seems low, but there is room for improvement
and this is not her final score.

So again, she is not out of the woods yet
but the doctors seem optimistic that
she could move up her score
and possibly recover or at least improve.

Emily has always been a fighter.
I have never known her to give up,
so lets keep praying that she stays strong
and continues to fight. - Wednesday June 18 (4:00pm)

*also, as of today they are starting
to wean her off of the ventilator,
today it was put on a much lower setting,
her breathing looks much more peaceful

and what have I done?

I guess it’s time for my annual bout of self-recrimination,
although I don’t know why I’m so down on myself this year.

I’ve gone from being a perennial church attender (Christmas and Easter)
who thought “Sunday morning is another planet“
to serving as an usher on Sunday mornings.

Last year I was watching a service of lessons and carols on TV
in an overflow room in the basement of Tenth Presbyterian Church
which I’d been attending for almost two decades and realizing
that the only thing keeping me there was one ministry (mereBreath).

I had been not doing weekly church for 2 or 3 years before that service -
I’d only been around for rehearsals and Tech Week.

So when I saw Bethel’s website, I thought I’d check out Easter services.
My mom was pleased with my attending any church at this juncture.

I went. I was hooked.
Got involved 3 months later.

Which leads me to now - and the recrimination.

Last year it was not seeing anything ahead.

This year it’s seeing all the possibilities ahead,
and not knowing which will come to pass.

Like I said before - better than last year.
