Thanks Upon Thanks

I just read Lanny’s blog (yesterday’s titled-The Right Choice) where he was thanking Mary Jo & I for the Creation seminar we conducted many years ago.

We see many different reactions to the message of Creation we present at various locations. Last week, an elderly man got up and stomped out after listening to only 10 minutes of a talk on human origins. His grandson came up after the program and shared that his 81 year old grandfather was a stoic believer in evolution, and had only come to the program at the grandson’s request.

While out on the road on teaching circuits, all of the speakers at AOI try to take every opportunity to teach about God and His Creation. The following is a rough breakdown of more-or-less typical week of ministry in the field: Monday and Tuesday – Travel to Ainsworth, NE. … Meet with church officials and get settled in with a host family (another 25 minutes of travel to their home). Wednesday – Have lunch and visitation with Pastor or members of the church (typical 2+...
