This chapter reminded me of St. Ignatius' presupposition from his Spiritual Exercises.
"it is necessary to suppose that every good Christian is more ready to put a good interpretation on another’s statement than to condemn it as false. If an orthodox construction cannot be put on a proposition, the one who made it should be asked how he understands it."
Being heavily formed by Ignatian spirituality, this is something I try to practice in everyday life (and not just with other Christians).
My prayers have been answered. I have prayed for Scout everyday. She is my best friend and I am not taking her off my Prayer List.
And she loves you too!
Love this one especially, Ed.
May Scout’s years be long… even longer than her pajama sleeves! #momjoke #facepalm
Yay Scout!

The wisdom of our faith ancestors is so amazing. Ignatius, Francis, Julian, Teresa…so rich and so beautiful.
