Shortly before the launch
of the Heithaus Haven, Ken Parker asked each of the contributing editors to
reflect on why we decided to find a home in the Heithaus Haven. I hope to offer a post with my response
soon. Today, I am moved to share wisdom
I received from a friend and colleague this morning. I met him in December, at the Novena of Grace,
organized for the SLU community by the Jesuits.
I confessed to my friend that I have allowed
myself to become increasingly discouraged and disheartened. He replied to me, “Discouragement is not an
option! That's of the evil spirit and we will have none of it. Just have to
keep talking with each other and moving and hoping.”
My friend reminded me that the Heithaus Haven is one way we can keep
talking and moving and hoping together, so that we might encourage one
another. What other opportunities do we
have at SLU, to talk, to move, to hope, to encourage one another? What other opportunities can we create at SLU, to
talk, to move, to hope, to encourage one another?
