The Life of a Creation Speaker

Posted on Jun 3, 2010 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

The life of a traveling speaker can seem glamorous at times, but what’s it really like? “Come along” with us and see. Before you even start, there’s lots of “up-front” work – scheduling, studying, lecture prep, packing, and preparing to be “away” for 2, 3, or even more weeks. Then, “on the road,” there’s hours and hours of travel time – either by road (along with sometimes hazardous road conditions, traffic, or vehicle breakdowns) or by air (with all that entails – special...

Creating Synthetic Life

Posted on Jun 2, 2010 in Stepaneks from the Front | 0 comments

Recently in the media there has been a lot of hype about creating synthetic life or artificial life. Did scientist really create life? Could non-life evolve into living things? Is abiogenesis (spontaneous generation) true? Well, the answer to these questions is no. Actually, these scientists continue to support the Law of Biogenesis that life only comes from pre-existing life. Let us look at the rest of the story.

We often talk about “road time,” because that’s when we are “out there” speaking and connecting with people, but what about “home time?” Of course, when you first get home, there is unpacking, laundry, sorting mail, paying bills, touching bases with family, and “catching up” on business.

Even with all the planning, there never seems to be enough time to get everything done. Get all the fluids changed in the vehicle to hopefully make it road worthy – Get all the repairs that NEED repairing on the home done (the 2nd Law of...

Colorado to Texas via Wyoming?

Posted on May 21, 2010 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

Grand Junction, CO, to San Antonio, TX, via Douglas, Wyoming? Not the most direct route, but with back-to-back homeschool conferences, it didn’t make sense to drive home in between. So we rented a car and set off for a packed 2 weeks. At the Wyoming conference, we ran a booth and did 9 hours of teaching for teens (2 of these sessions were combined with adults). Yes, the teens stayed awake, interested, and engaged, and we were grateful for the opportunity to reach this...
