Well aren’t you a ray of sunshine. It’s an opinion based on zero facts. If you’ve already said it, why feel the need to say it again?

HomeskillitMoorman Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 5 hours ago, dollars 2 donuts said: Very respectfully, it has been four full months. No comment from her. No photos of her. As someone who has actually said prayers for her (and that is not a self aggrandizing pat on the back, it’s just something I do as part of my faith…it’s what I believe) I am also not one to just say “anything without confirmation is idle speculation.” Whatever happened she is non-communicative or impaired to communicate in some manner. That absolutely does not mean she isn’t doing well or isn’t getting “better”. Continued prayers for the President of the Bills, but mostly for her role as loving mother and wife. What I don't understand about prayers though is if she makes a full recovery, was it the hand of God that did it while so many people won't recover or will still get really sick or get human trafficked, etc.? 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're told constantly that this isn't just an owner's wife, but an important decision maker in the organization. "One of the most powerful women in sports". So which one is it? Because if Beane was out for months we'd all want to know what's going on and when he's back. UNLESS she doesn't really do anything at either organization. Regardless, I find it strange that nobody seems to want to talk about the PRESIDENT being out indefinitely and there has been no talk of who is replacing her position in the interim. She can both be an important decision maker and "one of the most powerful women in sports" and also have literally 0 to do with the on the field performance. I don't understand why you or anyone else would care unless you're personally invested in how the new concession vendor negotiations are going or how much the accounting department has operationalized efficiency improvements YoY. She runs the business, which has nothing to do with the on the field product as long as the piggy bank still has enough money to clear the checks.

If it were you’re mom, wouldn’t you? We need to mind our business. I’m sure it’s for benevolent concerns, but we don’t have a right to know. No need for any speculation or anything, but there is nothing wrong with the occasional reminder to keep her in our thoughts and prayers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim Pegula is NOT Jerry Jones. I know that is obvious, but it’s something we can all be thankful for together.

corta765 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 2 hours ago, DasNootz said: I'm comfortable believing that she had a stroke and is recovering. With no other info, we're left to fill in the blanks (rightfully or wrongfully, it's natural), and this is the most logical answer given the limited info the public knows. The organization appears to be functional in her public absence, and I wish her the best in her recovery. This is where I kind of land and she could be of sound mind but the stroke impacted her speech where she herself isn't comfortable coming out into the light again which 100% makes sense. I wish her and the family the best and when the times comes we will find out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't neeeed to do anything other than what they want to do regarding their personal health information. I don't think they are required to make any additional information available. Do I wish they they would? Sure? But ultimately I just wish the Pegula's the best. But I also really dislike the shamming of people who are just asking what is going on or inquiring about an update. I can't imagine a world where my mom is sick, or hurt, or whatever, and coworkers or neighbors ask each other if they have heard any updates, and I am offended. Stop belittling people for something so innocuous. Now to get off that soap box and onto another. Jesus dude. What a weird time to talk about how important Kim is or isn't the PSE. You suck! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Amazing how many people can't handle a single inquiry of concern as to whether anyone had an update on her condition or not. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a football message board is not the appropriate venue to invite thoughts and speculation on the nature of divinity, providence, theodicy, and the efficacy of prayer. Certainly, your query assumes metaphysical presuppositons that are perhaps deficient for genuine theological discussion. And there are subsidiary questions regarding the nature of reality, the nature of persons, the fundamental nature of the Good that are entailed if you really want to pursue those kinds of questions. That's too much for most folks. Much better and more apt to hope and pray that Kim is progressing towards the best health possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really only asked because that person specified in that post that the prayer was faith-related. I don't think I really have any presuppositions personally, I think anything is possible and am open to anything being possible, that's why I openly asked how they make sense out of it.

I wasn't questioning your intentions -- the basic question you posed, however, implicitly makes certain assumptions. Everyone has a metaphysics, though most people just assume uncritically what is dominant in their era and milieu. For instance, the way you contextualized God attending to prayers imagines a kind of finite being times infinity as it were confronted with millions of petitions "from the outside", but that might be taking you in the wrong direction. Regardless, I am interested in this kind of investigation, but as I said, this isn't really the place for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
