Camp IdRaHaJe West – Week 2

Posted on Jun 29, 2011 in Johnsons from the Front | 0 comments

Marilyn and I spent another week at Camp IdRaHaJe West above Paonia, CO. This week we taught Creation to the Middle School Camp (6th – 9th Grade) of 60 campers, 12 counselors, and numerous other staff. We had another very exciting week. As at the Junior Camp, we had a mixture of church-going kids, non-churched kids, and kids coming from churches where the Bible is not taught. The Holy Spirit was really evident at this camp …we had 30 campers put their faith and trust in...

Congratulations Sandra

Posted on Jun 28, 2011 in Stepaneks from the Front | 0 comments

We were truly blessed recently in celebrating the high school graduation of our daughter, Sandra. The years have passed so quickly.  She was a very diligent student in her homeschool studies and we have enjoyed educating her these past six years. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed the fellowship of family and friends attending the open house.  We were even blessed to have some family travel all the way from Minnesota for the event.  Sandra plans to attend Cornerstone...

Camp IdRaHaJe West

Posted on Jun 23, 2011 in Johnsons from the Front | 0 comments

Marilyn and I spent last week at Camp IdRaHaJe West above Paonia, CO., where we taught Creation to a Junior Camp (2nd – 6th Grade) of 56 campers, 12 counselors, and numerous other staff. IdRaHaJe stands for I’d Rather Have Jesus. It was an exciting week, where we had the blessing of being able to teach two 1 ½ hour chapels a day. The campers were very enthusiastic … they were actually running to chapel, and coming 10 to 15 minutes early! After the first chapel, some...

Side Trip Excursion

Posted on Jun 22, 2011 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

Too many times when we are on the speaking circuit, we just point the nose of the vehicle to get from point A to point B without seeing what else is around us.  This time on our way back from speaking in Las Vegas, we had an extra day to explore! We got off the interstate in Utah and took the scenic route back to Grand Junction, camped overnight, and got in a good hike. Yes, interstate highways do afford some good scenery, but there is so much more out there if we take the...

A Rose is Still a Rose

Posted on Jun 17, 2011 in Johnsons from the Front | 0 comments

The roses around our house are now in full bloom reminding me of an article I recently read from Creation Moments –  A Rose Is Still A Rose. Man has been breeding roses for quite a long time. The Chinese began breeding roses about 4,000 years ago. Rose breeders around the world have produced over 4,000 variations of roses that vary in size, color, frequency of bloom and scent. Over 25 different scents have been developed! Walter Lammerts, a leading world authority on...

An Eagerness in the Youth – For the Truth!

Posted on Jun 9, 2011 in Stepaneks from the Front | 0 comments

A while back I had flown to Michigan to speak at a regional youth event.   After the first evening’s creation presentation, it was time for games.  Many of the youth participated in the games, but there were several who did not.  They had questions about Creation and Genesis,  so we had a Creation/Genesis session that lasted for about two hours.  It  began with just a few kids, but as time passed, more and more joined in with the discussions. I was greatly encouraged to see...

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...

A Tour, or Two, at the Dinosaur Museum

Posted on Jun 1, 2011 in Stepaneks from the Front | 0 comments

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...

A Flight, a Laptop, a Boy, and Thanks

Posted on May 26, 2011 in Stepaneks from the Front | 0 comments

On a recent trip, I boarded a plane from Grand Junction to Denver; my final destination was Belding, MI.   Usually I am seated by adults, but this time I had the privilege of sitting by a twelve year old boy from Canada.  He was a bright young lad and, would you know it, was interested in dinosaurs! As soon as it was ok to turn on laptops, I fired mine up and started teaching about dinosaurs.  He was thrilled, and so was I!  He had never heard of this information before....

Ducking the Tornadoes

Posted on May 25, 2011 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

Earlier that same day, we went right through the area in Oklahoma City that was hit with a tornado yesterday. Last night, the weather service is reporting a significant chance of tornadoes where we are staying just outside Springfield. YIKES! We are hoping the Lord allows us to duck those as well. Where Mary Jo & I live in Grand Junction, Co, we are happy to report that they have not spotted a tornado for almost 100 years. So, right now, we are certainly enjoying the...

Resurrection Day Drive and Blessing

Posted on Apr 28, 2011 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

When we are on speaking trips, even our “holidays” can sometimes be spent on the road or traveling. This last one was a very special time for Mary Jo and me! We began on Friday evening by joining friends in Payson, Arizona, for a Passover Seder sponsored by their church. The visiting minister explained the details of Passover and how it relates to Jesus and our faith. The next morning we had great fellowship with our friends before heading toward home. Since it was getting...

Grand Canyon

Posted on Apr 22, 2011 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

Following some pretty iffy weather heading north from Scottsdale, we were very glad that the weather was just great for a hike in the Grand Canyon. Part of the group saw the sites on the canyon rim, while Mary Jo and I led 18 of the students for a 3 mile hike into the canyon. Although we only went a fifth of the way down into the canyon, it was just far enough for the students to get a little appreciation for the immensity of the canyon and the nature of some of the...
