Traveling with a Geologist

Posted on Jul 23, 2010 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

Traveling with a geologist can be a real “experience!” I remember a time a few years ago when we were driving with our friend Johnathan in Minnesota. Johnathan was right in the middle of a deep spiritual discussion, when Dave suddenly flung his arm right in front of Johnathan and exclaimed, “Look at the ripple marks!” Fortunately, Johnathan had a good grip on the wheel and an ability to see through Dave’s arm to watch the road ahead! Over the years, we have traveled...

Until They Know How Much You Care

I had a good week of senior high camp at Camp Salvation, which is located near the small town of Stonewall Gap, CO. Usually my wife and family would attend camp with me. But, since my wife has been away from the children plenty this year and some of our children are now employed, I decided to travel alone. I like to spend as much time with the campers as possible.

A short distance outside of Jackson Hole, Wyoming is a small town of Kelly. Approximately a mile away, following the road to Slide Lake, is a small pond. At first glance, it appears to be just an ordinary pond with weed covered edges. However, closer inspection reveals something quite out of the ordinary. Many pockets of bubbles arise throughout one end of the pond. Stick your little toe into the water and you discover the water is warm. Warm water is flowing out of the...

It Always Amazes Me

Mary Jo & I have just recently finished our session at Summit Ministries in Manitou Springs, CO (just west of Colorado Springs). It was a full session with about 180 high school and college age students who are there for 2 weeks of worldview training. The students were quite interested in creation and had a lot of good questions. Some of the students have never heard of evidence for creation and the problems with evolution and yet they in most cases, grew up in a...
