Science in Review — The Thanksgiving Turkey gets the LEGO Worm

November 26, 2014 by Andy Walsh 2 Comments

Painting of the First Thanksgiving

It is entirely possible to draw too much of a connection between the United States of America as it presently exists, and the new creation to come promised in the Bible. Current events make it clear just how much healing our world presently needs. I want to be very clear that I only intend a very narrow and specific comparison. Having said that, as I was reflecting on Thanksgiving, it struck me that for those among the Plymouth settlers who were believers, the American continent may have seemed to be the closest … [Read more...] about Science in Review — The Thanksgiving Turkey gets the LEGO Worm

Death and Resurrection

April 18, 2014 by David 1 Comment

He was a young man, and I could see fear in his eyes as he gripped the railings of the bed and struggled to breathe, sucking in heavily through the plastic mask feeding him oxygen. His body was wasting away from cancer, and the infections that had crept into his lungs were now forcing every compensatory mechanism into extremis. He wanted to fight and live, but there was little left for the ICU to offer. I had been pleading with him for days to consider hospice and a more peaceable passing at home where he could be … [Read more...] about Death and Resurrection

Becoming a Thoughtful Christian in the Secular Academy: Part II

June 27, 2013 by John Hundley Leave a Comment

Last week I wrote about my journey as a developing follower of Jesus in a secular university.   I told you that I'd become a stronger Christian during my time in the academic world, and now I want to tell you a little bit about what happened in my mind and heart during that time. This post is, to an extent, a response to Andy Walsh's question in the comment thread of last week's post in this series: You mentioned that your Christian faith is stronger as a result of the experience. Did you find that aspects of your … [Read more...] about Becoming a Thoughtful Christian in the Secular Academy: Part II

Rituals of Annotation

March 1, 2013 by David Leave a Comment

I am not exactly sure of what prompted me to do it, but I began keep ­ing a tally of all the pro ­nounce ­ments I have done. A pronouncement is that act in which a doctor officially declares a person to be dead. Some deaths are theatric spec ­tac ­les involving beep ­ing mon ­i ­tors, electric shocks, and crack ­ing chest car ­ti ­lage. These tend to be chaotic, gritty, and conclusive as in the TV shows, sometimes ending with a dis ­traught physician intoning, “Time of  death. . . .” However, most pro ­nounce ­ments … [Read more...] about Rituals of Annotation
