Museum Worldview

Posted on Oct 26, 2010 in Johnsons from the Front | 0 comments

A woman in Minnesota shared that she had been to the Smithsonian National Museum in early 2009. After watching a movie on the origin of man, she asked one of the staff where the movie on Creation could be viewed. After being told the museum had no such movie, she asked to see one of the directors to protest this one-sided portrayal of origins. After many excuses about the unavailability of any of the directors she was given a Visitor Comment Form to fill out with her...

Sitting On The Edge Of Their Seats

Posted on Oct 19, 2010 in Johnsons from the Front | 0 comments

Our last week on the road was jamb packed with children’s ministry.  After finishing a family program in south-east Minnesota, we traveled to Minneapolis/St. Paul area. There we taught at two Christian schools for 2 hrs at each location. That in itself is unusual; normally the schools will only let you have 30-45 minutes during their chapel time. However, I had taught an hour at one of the schools last year, and they were amazed how attentive the students were for the...

Refreshing

Posted on Oct 13, 2010 in Johnsons from the Front | 0 comments

After a seminar the other evening, an elderly gentleman (CW for short) came up to me an introduced himself. He had been a professor of physics at a nearby secular university for over 25 years, retiring a few years ago. I had noticed him during my talks that evening … he was seated with his wife and a friend, all with beaming smiles and nodding heads the whole time I spoke … public speakers love this type of person! He had heard the Nuttings speak in the early 90’s,...

The Right Choice

Posted on Oct 7, 2010 in Johnsons from the Front | 0 comments

We see many different reactions to the message of Creation we present at various locations. Last week, an elderly man got up and stomped out after listening to only 10 minutes of a talk on human origins. His grandson came up after the program and shared that his 81 year old grandfather was a stoic believer in evolution, and had only come to the program at the grandson’s request. Apparently, the older gentleman did not like what he was hearing.  I was reminded that in...

Fall Is In The Air!

Posted on Sep 23, 2010 in Johnsons from the Front | 0 comments

Driving over Hoosier Pass, between Breckinridge and Fairplay, Colorado, we were pleased to see the striking colors of autumn leaves. The bright, vibrant yellows and reds of the turning aspens were spectacular. Yesterday, as we travelled through Nebraska, we saw the golden stalks of corn, and the yellow to gold leaves of soy beans. Only a short time ago all of these leaves had been a beautiful bright green. The changing fall foliage never fails to delight me.  Leaves are...

Judas Asparagus

Posted on Sep 17, 2010 in Johnsons from the Front | 0 comments

I have been working with children for many years, and have been amused (and sometimes shocked) about how they sometimes perceive things they have heard. The following (author unknown) has been floating around for years. Judas Asparagus Just in case you have forgotten your Bible lessons, here is a refresher course. A child was asked to write a book report on the entire Bible. I wonder how often we take for granted that children understand what we are teaching??? Through the...

A Family Favorite

Posted on Sep 16, 2010 in Johnsons from the Front | 0 comments

Lake Powell is one of our family’s favorite getaways. We began coming to the lake about 30 years ago, when our oldest daughter was around three years old, and our youngest daughter was only months old. There we have spent hours of camping, boating, water sports, swimming, fishing, hiking, and exploring. At Lake Powell, we have experienced everything from frigid snow storms, fierce winds, high seas, to searing hot breezeless days. Actually, our favorite time is early...

The Crown of Old Men

Posted on Sep 14, 2010 in Johnsons from the Front | 0 comments

On September 3, 2010 another one of God’s wonderful creations entered this world … our 4th grandchild, Aspen Marie! She is a big girl, weighing in at 9 lbs. 6ozs. Her mother, my youngest daughter Robin, is a petite thing of 5’3″, so trust me – that is a big baby.  Marilyn and I were married 10 years before we had our 2 wonderful daughters, so I am approaching … no, I have arrived … at old age. ”Children’s children are the crown of old men;” (Pr. 17:6a) I...

What If???

Posted on Sep 2, 2010 in Johnsons from the Front | 0 comments

  A few evenings ago I had the fun of taking my two young grandsons to a Monster Truck show. It was not only a time to be able to spend with the boys, but to be truthful, I (like my two grand boys) love hearing the ear splitting , chest-thumping roar and seeing  huge trucks with outlandish sized tires defy gravity and fly through the air, squashing things upon their bone- jarring landing. What we did not expect to see was a “souped” up nitro powered mud buggy...
