Journalism Notes: Pressing On II

February 2, 2016 by Jeff Neely Leave a Comment

In my last post I took some time to consider the ideas of legacy and success from a Christian perspective. When I die, how will people remember me? What will be my mark on the world? What impact will I have made on the lives of others? I didn't know at the time how apropos those words would be. Last Tuesday my grandmother died. On Saturday I gave the eulogy at her funeral. She was 94 years old. … [Read more...] about Journalism Notes: Pressing On II

In the coming days, weeks, and months we will  give focused attention to the meaning/purpose of higher ed and how this plays out across disciplines, the "academic ladder", our neighborhood . . . the creation as a whole.

May 8, 2013 by Joe Thackwell 6 Comments

I write after a good cry. Dallas Willard died this morning after announcing stage 4 cancer  on Monday. You can read more  here. For those who don't know, Dallas was a longtime philosophy professor at USC. He was a great voice for Christianity and his writings will continue to influence new generations of Christians. His book  Spirit of the Disciplines  was influential in my life, helping me to see that following and becoming like Christ is our life's work. I became a disciple by reading this book. At the end of my … [Read more...] about Thank you. You can rest Dallas Willard.
