About Me
- Name: scott becker
- Location: pasadena, california
In 2003, after 17 years in ministry, my beautiful wife and I moved from Seattle to Pasadena so that I could pursue a PhD in Christian Ethics. I hope to help Evangelical pastors teach their congregations how to ground social and political commitments in basic biblical affirmations concerning Christ's life, teachings, crucifixion and resurrection, so that they might promote such kingdom values as economic justice, interethnic reconciliation, nonviolence and care for creation. I've meant to start a blog for some time, but what finally got me going was the recent discovery that I have terminal cancer. My journal presents ongoing reports on my condition, personal and theological reflections on what it means to affirm one's faith at the end of life, and social comments on the world around us.

Scott--
I appreciate the fine way you expressed sentiments with which I wholeheartedly agree. I guess sometime I'll now actually have to study volume three of Barth's *C.D.*, rather than my usual volumes I and IV.
All the best!
Your friend, Charlie
LOL. You remind me of someone. I'm not sure who... Just don't start making jokes like Glen about bald-ism;) (vs. age-ism, racism, etc.)
Don't forget about the party on the 27th and bug everyone else to come:-) Maybe it will help revive the Wed. night meetings or we can pick another night:)
I turned in my paper on how Gushee's Righteous Gentiles of the Holocaust has value for Christian ethicists as they explore the concept of microbic hydrogen-based life forms on Mars;)
Lookin' pretty good there, Sweety. Karla told me you did. So, OK, maybe I will recognize you when I see you at the airport next month. Love you, Mom
Dear Scott.
Have you ever seen the movie "The Abyss"? I don't know what it is, but, seeing you with your new do, thanks to your battle, reminds me of the scene in "The Abyss" when Ed Harris takes his plunge into the darkness in an attempt to deactivate the nuclear bomb. I'm praying that the "oceanic angel aliens" appear for you, metaphorically speaking.
Your friend,
Bruce Rams.
a nice gold hoop earring and you'll be cast in the next "Pirates" movie for sure! Good to see that smile! Prayers continued for you as I walked & pryaed around a snowy Greenlake this a.m.
You couldn't have gone with the Picard look for my birthday party last September? Well, better late than never. :-)
Dangit! When I saw your Christmas photos, which were taken after the magic 2 week mark, and there you were with hair, I thought perhaps those nasty toxins spared your follicles. You actually DO look really cute without hair, you know. And I AM considering a sympathetic shave, to repay your gift to me in 2001. Really.
I love you, Scott!
Y'know, Megan, you really don't have to do this. But thanks for considering it.--Scott
Ok, ok, I admit it too. You've got a good head for it.
Have you considered how this will now make it easier to wear your curly rainbow wig at football games as you carry your John 3:16 sign?
(Or will your sign be 2 Kings 2: 23-24?)
Looking out for bears,
Ben
Scott... the Picard comment was from me. (I thought I had signed it, but Google seems to have dropped it.) Looking forward to playing with you again this weekend.
Peace,
Glenn Molina
Nice!
(I enlarged the picture so I could see what books you have. I'm such a nerd.)
Hey Scott you know if you had a old lady's wig on and a shawl around your shoulders, you would look like the church lady. Getting ready to bust out a
"Could it be Saatannn? Hmmm!"
Lookin good again, just like in the late 80's.
