The Crown of Old Men

Posted on Sep 14, 2010 in Johnsons from the Front | 0 comments

On September 3, 2010 another one of God’s wonderful creations entered this world … our 4th grandchild, Aspen Marie! She is a big girl, weighing in at 9 lbs. 6ozs. Her mother, my youngest daughter Robin, is a petite thing of 5’3″, so trust me – that is a big baby. Marilyn and I were married 10 years before we had our 2 wonderful daughters, so I am approaching … no, I have arrived … at old age. ”Children’s children are the crown of old men;” (Pr. 17:6a) I...

Blockhead Ants and Anonymous Authors

Posted on Sep 9, 2010 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

I was Google-searching the web entries on blockhead ants when I found an article by an anonymous author entitled, “Lessons from the Ants.” I thought the article was pretty good and wanted to forward it a friend who is very interested in insects.

We have just finished teaching creation to another group of students at Summit Ministries. We had three sessions plus an open forum with them. This is the last session of Summit this year. We are already looking forward to more groups next year. Whenever we have large (or small) groups of high-school and college-age students, we really enjoy being there. Pray that some of these students will be taking the information we just gave them to new levels and to places we will...

What If???

Posted on Sep 2, 2010 in Johnsons from the Front | 0 comments

A few evenings ago I had the fun of taking my two young grandsons to a Monster Truck show. It was not only a time to be able to spend with the boys, but to be truthful, I (like my two grand boys) love hearing the ear splitting , chest-thumping roar and seeing huge trucks with outlandish sized tires defy gravity and fly through the air, squashing things upon their bone- jarring landing. What we did not expect to see was a “souped” up nitro powered mud buggy...
