On being an intellectual

A few weeks ago, I met with a UF professor who was uncomfortable with my occasional use of the word “prayer” in editorials and messages to campus. We met over a cup of coffee and had a robust and stimulating discussion on why I sometimes say “my prayer” instead of “my hope” and “in my prayers” instead of “in my thoughts” when I wish to convey a strong personal sentiment.
