I was searching my mind for ways to poetically tap into our emotions to inspire us to do great things for ourselves this week, but I can’t quite find the words after all the things that have happened these past weeks at my alma mater, Mizzou, and now the tragedy in Paris. So I’ll go with what I know…

Prayer heals all. Love lasts the test of time. Caring is what makes us human. We see you Paris and we hear all your cries. God be with you all and know that we are all mourning with you, but also here to help lift you up with love and watch you rise again.
