Be Ready in Season and Out of Season

Posted on May 24, 2011 in Johnsons from the Front | 0 comments

On Mother’s Day, I was getting ready to leave home and go to the church my Mother and youngest daughter attend. Ten minutes before I was to leave, my son-in-law who teaches a Bible study class for deaf adults, called and asked if I could teach for him that morning … our youngest granddaughter had the flu and he needed to stay home with her. This was because his wife, my daughter, was interpreting for the deaf during the church service. Also, he teaches...

Bryce Canyon

Part of the student requirements for the geology field class that Mary Jo & I led to the Southwest was a written Travel Guide for the trip. The students were divided into groups of 4-5 and each group wrote their own “Guidebook” complete with photos and written descriptions of the sites visited. Part of the reason to have them do this is to have them think more deeply about what they are seeing and to have something to remind them of the trip. One of the student groups...

A Note on the Midwest Creation Fellowship Seminar

It was great to see the interest in the topic of ‘Astronomy and the Glory of God’ at the monthly meeting of the Midwest Creation Fellowship.

Some in attendance believed that God had used the ‘Big Bang’ to create. I thought I might have some opposition to the presentation, since I...

Kodachrome Basin

The name says it all, especially if you are familiar with the older slide film called Kodachrome. There is so much beautiful scenery there just waiting for the camera! However, to me it may be one of the most significant sites that we took our caravan of 40 to on the Jackson Hole Bible college geology field trip of the Southwest. Why is this significant? Here we find columns or pipes of light-colored sandstone protruding through a very red-colored Entrada sandstone...

Onward to Zion!

No, we didn’t go to the Biblical Zion, but our caravan of 40 headed to Zion National Park. It is a beautiful place with sheer sandstone cliffs reaching 2000 feet above. This place is a rock climber’s dream and for the climber’s mother, a nightmare! Much of the sheer cliffs are of Navaho sandstone. In some places, the sandstone is heavily cross-bedded leading the Park officials to think that the sand was put down over millions of years in ancient wind-blown desert sand...
