Chapter 6
HAVE FAITH!
A person of faith is undeterred by failure, by obstacles or by naysayers. These people understand that failure is a frequent companion to faith, and with each stumble they come nearer they goal. It is true not because everyone reacts the same way to adversity, but because of they faith, some adjust in the process.
I am fortunate to have had a long and gratifying friendship with the Reverend Oscar Burnett, O.S.B., Abbot Emeritus of Belmont Abbey in Belmont, North Carolina. I met Father Oscar when I arrived at Belmont Abbey College as an 18-year-old freshman. He was then acting as head of campus ministry. He reached out to the freshmen and involved many of us in campus coffeehouse functions. His hearty laugh, caring demeanor and listening skills pulled many students through trying times. Father Oascar, and a few others, never wavered in their faith in me, and because of their interest, I have overcome quite a few daunting challenges. A simple, kind word may be all it takes to help someone gather the strength to move forward.
Have faith!
