Hokie Hope Day

The Governor here has declared today a day mourning for the victims at Virginia Tech. The alumi association has declared it Hokie Hope Day - requesting everyone wear orange & maroon as a show of support. I don't own anything orange and maroon - but the office has put together ribbons for everyone to wear.

Thought For the Day: Comes from the editorial page of the Richmond Times-Dispatch:

The Peace Prayer of St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, Let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is error, truth; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled As to console; To be understood, as to understand; To be loved, as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
