The Chaplain's Corner

In colleges and universities, labs are those places where theory and practice intersect.

Students come to understand such otherwise abstract concepts as the coefficient of expansion, ionic bonds and mitosis experientially.

Principles from textbooks are put into real-life play. Families, it seems to me, are also laboratories.

In our families, such otherwise abstract concepts as unconditional love, forgiveness and commitment take on human flesh and blood.

Principles from "the Good Book" are put into real-life play.

As we welcome families this weekend, we give God thanks for the most important lab instructors we will ever have: our parents, stepparents, grandparents, siblings and others who populate that marvelous and fascinating laboratory of life called "family."
