I know that my posts tend to walk a sometimes thick line of critical-ness. Hopefully I am always writing in a posture of humility and affection, but I am critical nonetheless, seeking to point out the places of brokenness on this campus and the spaces for improvement. I long for a better ideal of better community, student fellowship, and wholeness. So it is in the nature of what I write to be constantly critical. Still, I have to be just as constantly evaluating that purpose, and questioning at what cost I offer my criticisms, and where to draw lines, and in what to ground all of my objections.
So, in the spirit of our approaching Thanksgiving, I want to say how grateful I am. For reflecting upon my recent posts, especially the past two, and on the larger discussion between students which has witnessed great outpouring of brave voices and support for difficult topics, I want to take what remaining space I have left to say what is simple and true:
Thank you, you are wonderful.
