Commencement Address 2016 – NNT
“If something is nonsense, you say it and say it loud.
You will be harmed a little but will be antifragile –
in the long run people who need to trust you will
trust you.” – Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Nakedness
Nakedness is in the eye of the beholder
Storms
You see the thing called life, we are all figuring it out.
The perfect lives you see know how to stay calm in spite of the storms within.
The imperfect lives you see do not know how to hold the chaos within.
Perfect or imperfect, we are all riding storms within. The difference is while some are the awareness behind the storm, others have become one with the storm.
– Osasu Oviawe
Forbearance
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow about his promise as some count slowness, but is forbearing toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
Homily:
Love is patient. It waits. Always hoping for reconciliation above all else.
If judgment is passed as swiftly as we act, who will survive.
Dear Lord, I pray that I am also patient with those you put in my care.
