Granddaughter’s Dedication

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

This past Sunday, my youngest grandchild was dedicated to the Lord at her parent’s church. This dedication really had not so much to do with our granddaughter; rather it was a time of celebration … an opportunity and a privilege for the parents, family, and church family to commit to do something, not just for the children, but for the parents as well. The parents (and grandparents!) were challenged to make a commitment: To lifting up their children/grandchildren in...

Thank God for Winter?

Posted on Dec 3, 2010 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

I would love to hold onto Fall for another 4 months and skip winter altogether, but with the weather turning very cold and snowstorms predicted, I guess that isn’t going to happen.

Well these snakes have neither wings, nor wing like appendages, to help them glide. How do the snakes do this? The...

I was also able to share the Gospel message with the entire group. The teaching time was followed by a period of question and answers. I pray...

Giving and Receiving

Posted on Nov 30, 2010 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

To truly give thanks requires acknowledgment of need, a heart of humility, and an appreciation for the giver. Think about it! It’s hard to give thanks for things for which you see no need. It’s also hard for a prideful, self-sufficient person to recognize or accept a gift. Finally, it’s hard to give thanks if you care nothing for the heart of the giver. Think about some of the gifts you have received in times past – that shirt or blouse that didn’t fit, or the fragrance you...
