On spot
remover bottles there is a warning: Test
this product on a small inconspicuous part of the garment.
To a new
blogger there should be the warning:
Before inviting all of your contacts to your blog test your article with
a few friends to be sure it is readable and clear.
Today I have
bounced back and forth between the overwhelming expressions of love and concern
given me by family and friends to the severe awareness that I have caused many
people unnecessary worry. I am very
sorry for that.
Let me reassure you that I am not in a
terminal or life-threatening illness. Over the last few years I have
experienced fears, worries, disillusionment and questions that harangue us in
seasons of uncertainty, change and loss of any kind. My experience in an
area that is not physical has enlarged my capacity for understanding and
appreciating those who deal with heart-breaking prognoses or outcomes. God’s Word has been especially precious to me in
these years and the insights from it are honey-sweet. I have loved
praying God’s Word over friends dealing with illness and other seemingly
impossible situations. In posting my first blog I wanted to share some of that sweetness
with others, though I didn’t mean to cause any trauma, triviality or
misunderstanding. I apologize for any pain I have caused you.
As a new
blogger I’ve learned three important things. One, be very clear.
Two, people care a lot! And three, I will be far more diligent to comment
on patients’ Bridge Pages or Care Pages in the future. If what I experienced today through the
concern and affirmation of friends is any indicator, those comments must deliver
healing ointments to the patient’s bed.
Thank you
for reading my blog. My PR man and #1 fan Wayne
did an excellent job of getting it out there. Thank you for the promise
of your prayers. I’ll take ‘emJ!
I hope you
will continue to read my blog. I’ll try not to make it so traumatic in the
future. That’s a way to lose readers!
Coming up
soon: “Cool Tissues”
