A New Church ⛪ Virtual Church

Virtual Church ⛪
Is a new one to Me,
I suppose one I can say I’ve been searching for,
For a Long Time.
One Twitter Friend led to Another,
Accidentally
Or more likely
Serendipitously,
Until I said this week,
I am Home 😎

Alone together, more than 600 people have prayed the office today. https://t.co/kp5sBknC4t

Is there a Better Way?
What would my Grandparents change if they could have made my life better?
My Parents? Me?
Thought provoking.
I'm home 🏡 grounded by MS.
I'm Traveling everywhere, around the world 🌎 and beyond.
The wireless network of like minded and unlike minded, alike.
Later will meet up with friends on Church St. In Burlington Vermont.
Then home for dinner news.
All whilst sitting here, in my virtual space,Traveling Virtually, like I told you before, Virtual Adult Day Care via Social Media.
Today's tedious tasks? Order meds, charged way too much, in the donut hole of Medicare, Straighten out tax snafus I cannot understand and wonder who made all the tax laws that suck.
No, back to my Virtual Neighborhood, like my old Neighborhood, a familiar daily cruise through the streets of my youth.

Guest. Post...Why ministers shouldn’t walk away from social media

Why ministers shouldn’t walk away from social media: Every month or so, there’s a new scare about why we shouldn’t be on social media. Facebook is spying on you. Twitter is not trustworthy. Instagram is in control of your life. Virtual relationships are replacing real relationships. And for some people, social media encourages addictive pattern

Merry Christmas

Dr. G started me thinking. I Hope You’re not lonely this Christmas.

I’m here and Thinking of You 😎🎄🎁🙏🏼🌎🌏🚀🐈‍⬛👑

 Loneliness can come in waves, loss of a loved one can break you down. Likewise friends are not always well meaning. It’s hard to reveal your diagnosis whether at work, home or in social circles. It’s unpredictable the response from Oh, I’m So sorry 😣 to You don’t look so bad. If You hear Can I Help You? Are they sincere? Could You accept help? You’re so independent. This year joined The Ordinary Office, Virtual Church online. They began 

A theme Alone Together. That describes My Multiple Sclerosis Friendship Circle. Virtual communication is still communicating, knowing someone hears or listens or asks Me or You something and You share and it’s dispersed. End of Year, time of reflection, Thanks for getting my brain engaged, virtually. 😎

Are you feeling lonely this Christmas? ⁦
I’ll be online with @Ord_Off⁩ and Twitterverse 😎🎄🎁❤️🌎🌏🚀👩‍💻
Follow ⁦@GavinGiovannoni⁩ for great #multiplesclerosis topics & invites to participate. 😎 https://t.co/cNtJLtlvBB

Is Social Media Enough?

Good post by Dr. G...

My comments...

I think in Theory it’s a good thought. We moved to Virginia after living in Vermont for 40 years. Our decision mostly related to unaffordable Taxes, expenses and a pension cut short by having to retire early. The difficulty of a move has been difficult but good. We lost friends except by phone. Have friends here and relatives. I looked into Adult Day center and it was mostly bingo and more elderly people like who I used to Case manage. I am on Twitter and have conversations, Church, prayers, Sharing Images, Music, Art, Opinions on Twitter. For me it’s better than going out. I can do it from any room, no pressure, no schedule, no car travel. Virtual connections. Church parking lots empty except for Sunday morning. Internet is open 24/7. I used to meet people at work, when younger in a bar. No more of that. I hope Science doesn’t devalue social media. It has faults, but it’s My go to for now.

Brave New World

Though I am Here and You are There, If You Read this, have We Connected?

 We’re Connecting online,

The ones who wake up in the night

With a Dragon biting our ankles.

If You don’t know the MonSter Personally (as in Possessed by)

Then It’s good for Neurologists to evaluate the Psychological Status of their patients in general.

MS is Itself a Failure. Losing aspects of your young life.

People Look at You Differently.

Social media removes barriers to my virtual friendships and Church.

It’s a new world. Embrace every moment.
