In the same stream as my last blog (this time of year actually slows down enough to collect your thoughts again), I want to continue to reminisce on my recent travels. So step back a little in time with me again (this was also last September). …One added perk of a traveling creation ministry like ours, is the blessing of passing through parts of the country where our children now live. We currently have three daughters and sons-in-law who are in active...

This is intriguing. For years evolutionists have been predicting — then claiming without proof — that a high percentage of our DNA is “junk” – the leftovers from millions of years of evolution. Creationists predicted that since God doesn’t make junk, we will find important uses for so-called “junk DNA.” When we pointed out that virtually everything that was called “junk DNA” has now been shown to have important and sometimes vital functions,...

I had the opportunity in July to minister to a great group of third to fifth graders at Glad Tidings Bible Camp (located in northeastern Nebraska). The week was mostly hot and humid, but it was sprinkled with a few more manageable days. This Coloradoan is not accustomed to the humidly. But as the days passed, I became much more acclimated. I began the week by asking the following question – “How many of you are not sure, if you were to die today, you would go...

Summer is a fantastic time for teaching at Vacation Bible Schools and camps. Rich recently took part in separate VBS programs in two different locations (as many as we can get). A comment we heard from one of the older participants was an encouragement. She told one of the VBS leaders – “Not only is he (Rich) teaching about the Bible, but he is also teaching about science. I learned more science in 30 minutes than I did in six months at school!” Another...

As we mark our 20th year in ministry, we are continually amazed and humbled by the faithfulness of the Lord. We really didn’t know what the future held back in 1997 when we packed up our family and left the farm in Minnesota to go to Colorado. We didn’t know what to expect, but God did. He is trust-worthy in every area of our lives and has seen us through many good times and some trials as well. Even just last fall, as we were concerned about the short fall for...

The other night, I presented a program called “Noah? A Flood of Evidence” to a group of eager learners at AOI’s center in Grand Junction. Part of it dealt with the huge floods resulting from breached dams, including Lake Bonneville and Lake Missoula, both of which almost instantaneously carved enormous canyons. The next morning, I noticed Richard Stepanek’s earlier blog called “A Tour of Catastrophes,” where he mentions how traveling on their speaking trip from...

As Sue and I traveled through Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon on a creation tour, we witnessed a number of different terrains and geologic features that speak of a catastrophic past. In Utah, we drove through what used to be ancient Lake Bonneville, which eventually drained causing a catastrophic flood which would carve the Snake River Canyon. The mountains of northern Idaho were a beautiful sight created by the world changing Flood in the days of Noah. As we...

I thought everyone would like an update regarding the recent JHBC Spring Geology Tour. Most everything went well except for… Bus problems at the beginning, even before the students arrived from Wyoming, left them stranded in Baggs, Wyoming for 2 nights. Then, on the very last evening, one of the students found out wings would have been helpful as he fell about 10 feet off a ledge he shouldn’t have been climbing on. We were so thankful he “only” broke his arm...

The best laid plans and preparation don’t always go as planned. Last week we prepared our truck and 5th wheel trailer for its first spring road trip. We were heading to Albuquerque, NM, and a nearby community to teach at a church, followed by a three day homeschool conference, where we were speakers as well as having a booth. I had de-winterized the trailer, checked all the mechanical and electrical equipment and checked propane levels and tire pressures. Then the...

Two weeks ago, Marilyn and I had the opportunity to teach at a Christian Academy in Vernal, Utah and a Sunday morning and evening at a church. Since Saturday was a free day, we went on a hunting trip, looking for a picnic and campground that I fondly remembered as a young boy. Sounds simple enough, but the last time I was there was over 60 years ago, and so my memory juices were really put to the test. I didn’t end up finding the campground … it is no longer...

Our recent travels through northwest Idaho, western Washington, and south central Washington brought us to a variety of different church buildings and congregations. Some churches are old and nostalgic and some were new and technologically savvy, but one thing remained the same—the need for TRUTH. Everyone, whether old or young, rich or poor, educated or uneducated, living in a small rural community or residing in the big city, needs to know the love of God and...

In one of my previous blogs about the Costa Rican Discover Creation Tour, I left you in the misty rain of a cloud forest. Wet, yes. However, it was an experience our intrepid explorers actually really enjoyed. The rain forests of this major ecosystem need the rain to remain so beautifully green and awe-inspiring. Afterwards we took in the National Museum, where we were able to see and experience aspects of the country’s history…...

If you don’t believe that the days of Genesis are literal days, then how does that affect the 4th Commandment? pic.twitter.com/0btrlFkXU7
