On Eagles Wings

There was a special service during chapel today for an Augsburg student that passed away this weekend:

It was really a sad day for members of the Augsburg community... over thanksgiving break, an Augsburg student was killed in a car accident. The chapel service held today was a chance for everyone to come together and grieve, but ultimately, to celebrate her life.

She was a well-known student... She was in honors and was my teachers assistant for the honors play that all first years put together... Katie and Claire knew her well from the school of americas protest in Georgia... she was also an orientation leader, Augsem leader, and a member of the Riverside Singers.

At chapel today, it really hit me when i realized how close of a community Augsburg College is... there were a lot of people that were affected by this death.. I can only imagine being a student at the University of Minnesota and a death happening.. an organized chapel service attended by many members of the college would be unlikely.

I'm glad to be a member of such a close-knit community.

All my thoughts and prayers go out to Katie's family.
