Training Week in Springfield, MO
We just got home from leading a Creation Training Week in Springfield, MO. Despite thunderstorms, tornado warnings, and high winds, the week went extremely well. Ten people participated in the training. We were much encouraged by their interest in creation teaching, the quality of their presentations, the depth of discussion, and the great times of fellowship. We started doing intensive Creation Training Weeks back in 2006, to help individuals deepen their knowledge and...
Read MoreThe Amazing Elephant Trunk
We went to the circus the other night with our grandkids and families. I love a circus … especially when the grandkids are with me. Just to watch their excitement gives me joy. This small circus had two elephants that entertained us all in the center ring. One of the things that amaze me about elephants (other than their size) is their trunks. One of the elephants climbed onto a metal pedestal, and then, not liking the position of the second pedestal, reached out with its...
Read MoreA Tour, or Two, at the Dinosaur Museum
Just last month, preschoolers from Alpine Christian Academy and some homeschoolers from Basalt, Colorado came to the Grand Junction area to tour the dinosaur museum in Fruita. We began at the AOI office with a program teaching them the truth about dinosaurs and preparing them for what they would see presented at the museum. We then proceeded to the museum. I answered a few questions, but the young children were mostly interested in looking at the exhibits and having the...
Read More“Whatever”
Daryl Witmer wrote in his newsletter to me that there seems to be a switch in our society from a “prove it to me” mentality to a non-committal, “Whatever.” Think about it. I wonder how many times we just let things slide with a casual “whatever” when we should be taking serious action. Many parents have taken the “whatever” approach to what their children are getting in school, especially relating to evolution. The frequent result is that their children sink deep into the...
Read MoreBattling Tomatoes
I just finished getting our small garden planted. Because we travel so much, especially during the summer growing season, I plant only a small garden which I have set up to be watered with a drip system – 6 tomato plants (3 varieties), 1 yellow neck squash, 1 acorn squash, and some carrots and dill ( for making pickles). As I planted the tomatoes, I thought about a recent article I read from Creation Moments about the defense mechanisms God gave plants to help protect...
