Chapel of the Resurrection

Chapel of the Resurrection

My brother and I attended a luncheon at the University Club of Chicago for our alma mater, Valparaiso University. The president was there to give a presentation of his vision for the future of the University. He spoke of his first official day as President of the University. With no appointments on his calendar he spent the afternoon reflecting in the Chapel, the centerpiece and heart of the campus. His story brought back memories of all the times I spent in the chapel, good and bad, during my years on campus. The chapel was where we all gathered on 9/11 to be together and try to make sense of the awful tragedy. It was a concert hall for countless Symphony performances. I mourned the loss and celebrated the life of a dear friend and classmate there. And it was a place of song and dance during Songfest.
