Are You Hungry?

Posted on Mar 3, 2011 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

At a recent staff meeting, I was blessed to hear Rich Stepanek’s report on his latest trip to India. As often happens on international trips, Rich found a refreshing hunger to learn about creation and how it relates to the gospel message, and a welcome eagerness to sit and listen for many hours on end. (I think it’s going to be hard for him to come back to the “reality” here in the States – rigid time constraints and the busyness that tugs and pulls on people’s willingness...

Hummingbird Spy Planes

Posted on Mar 2, 2011 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

I thoroughly enjoy hummingbirds and dragonflies. They are certainly marvels of creation. However, there may come a time when people will start shooting them. The Associated Press (2/28/2011) just had an article about new research with working models of tiny spy planes that mimic birds and insects. The hummingbird “drone” can fly forward and backwards, up and down, sideways, and rotate. However, unlike the real thing, it is loaded with video and audio equipment to record...

Oh Yes! We Remember THAT Camp!

I was asked if we remembered “that camp” mentioned in my last blog where we spoke 25 years ago? How could we forget? It has been permanently seared into our minds! We conducted a kid’s program from 9 AM to 9 PM for the entire week! It was about 100-104 degrees in Texas with about the same humidity—and it was outdoors! (Perhaps that is why we began doing family camps in the cool Colorado Mountains?) We did arts, crafts, slide programs, and tried not to go crazy with a large...

“25 Years Ago You Spoke . . .”

Last week I received a phone call from a man who had attended a camp where we had spoken almost 25 years ago! He was 13 or 14 at that time, but has been out of touch with us since. He had recently found us on our website. The creation message has been important to him all these years. Sometimes we don’t hear from people at all as to how the message has impacted them until many years later. Usually it is because we returned to an area and are approached by someone,...

BUT GOD YOU PROMISED!

Isaac was 40 years old when he married Rebekah. Grandpa Abraham had been promised many offspring, but after several years of marriage, Rebecca had still not conceived. I imagine that Isaac was saying, “But God you promised!” He probably wondered if he should have married sooner or have had more faith. Who knows his doubts? Gen. 25:21 says Isaac pleaded with the Lord and Rebekah conceived. Prayer answered … smooth sailing … NOT! Verse 22 says the twin babies...
