Scalpel Confessions

It was too disturbing for me - forgive me for posting this, but I must get it off my chest.  I’m sure I’ll heal with time (and through deep meaningful relationships in a non-judgmental Christian community).
I represent the full complement of chromosome Y on the dissecting team for cadaver 12-05 in anatomy lab.  Today it came down […]

Happiness is…

Yo - throw down some thoughts on this quote I found. It’s from in article in Wired Magazine, written by Bill Joy.
“Our Western notion of happiness seems to come from the Greeks, who defined it as “the exercise of vital powers along lines of excellence in a life affording them scope.” Clearly, we need to […]

A Cloudless Seattle

We are in the middle of a rare cloudless - and cold - streak here in Seattle. I snapped some photographs of the landscape from the balcony of my building this afternoon, which affords a spectacular view.
Check them out in the Seattle Album.

Dating Jesus

On Monday night Jess and I had dinner with the pastor of our new church and his wife. I’ve asked the pastor if I can preach during a Sunday morning service for my preaching class, and he’s wanting to meet every other week to “get to know me”. But really, it’s been us meeting so […]

The date, May 1, 2003, Drew Whitson and Bjorn Peterson purchase their first (and only) house from Jeff and Lisa Jungman.  A quaint little rambler in a Maplewood suburb.  Fast forward to today, the dude-joint-checking account has been cancelled and the same house is now lived in by myself and Erica.  After several years […]

Bono

In case you haven’t heard, Bono gave the homily at this year’s National Prayer Breakfast. I have a tough time with Bono - more so the idol he’s become in a majority of Christian circles - but his words speak truth and at some level demand a response, whether you agree or not. It’s about […]

$28,100

Last night was the first night of my spring econ course. 

One of the first topics we discussed was the opportunity cost of attending Bethel for four years.  The total opportunity cost includes the cost of Bethel plus the amount of revenue that was forgone by not working.  When I asked what the total cost of […]

The Look

Fellas-
Is everyone ok with the new software and design?  I think it’s much easier to use.  The only catch is that the only person who can edit a comment is the person who posted the orignal entry that the comment relates to.  I installed a plugin to fix this, but the catch is that you […]

New Pictures

Word up, all. I posted the Whistler pics this afternoon, and they can be found in the Photo Album. Matt, can you load your pictures to the album, too? It doesn’t take very long, and you’ve got some good ones from the summits.

I’m getting a little verklempt…
