From the waters of Southeast Asia comes a strong testimony of the Creator’s ability to provide His creatures with all the necessary tools for survival. The intriguing archerfish has a unique method of catching its food. With amazing accuracy, it aims and fires its sniper weapon at an unsuspecting bug crawling on a leaf of a bush high above a pool of water. When the pulsating beads of water hit the mark (and the fish rarely misses up to 4 feet away), the bug falls off the...
Read MoreCamp IdRaHaJe West – Week 2
Marilyn and I spent another week at Camp IdRaHaJe West above Paonia, CO. This week we taught Creation to the Middle School Camp (6th – 9th Grade) of 60 campers, 12 counselors, and numerous other staff. We had another very exciting week. As at the Junior Camp, we had a mixture of church-going kids, non-churched kids, and kids coming from churches where the Bible is not taught. The Holy Spirit was really evident at this camp …we had 30 campers put their faith and trust in...
Read MoreCongratulations Sandra
We were truly blessed recently in celebrating the high school graduation of our daughter, Sandra. The years have passed so quickly. She was a very diligent student in her homeschool studies and we have enjoyed educating her these past six years. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed the fellowship of family and friends attending the open house. We were even blessed to have some family travel all the way from Minnesota for the event. Sandra plans to attend Cornerstone...
Read MoreA Mammoth Problem
From the pages of the encyclopedias we are apt to read that mastodons and mammoths were ancient relatives of today’s elephants which have been extinct for about 10,000 years. This has been accepted by virtually all the “experts” today and consequently is taught at all levels of education. There are other experts, however, who suggest that these great creatures have been extinct for not more than a few hundred years. Many of these experts are historians who have read...
Read MoreCamp IdRaHaJe West
Marilyn and I spent last week at Camp IdRaHaJe West above Paonia, CO., where we taught Creation to a Junior Camp (2nd – 6th Grade) of 56 campers, 12 counselors, and numerous other staff. IdRaHaJe stands for I’d Rather Have Jesus. It was an exciting week, where we had the blessing of being able to teach two 1 ½ hour chapels a day. The campers were very enthusiastic … they were actually running to chapel, and coming 10 to 15 minutes early! After the first chapel, some...
Read MoreSide Trip Excursion
Too many times when we are on the speaking circuit, we just point the nose of the vehicle to get from point A to point B without seeing what else is around us. This time on our way back from speaking in Las Vegas, we had an extra day to explore! We got off the interstate in Utah and took the scenic route back to Grand Junction, camped overnight, and got in a good hike. Yes, interstate highways do afford some good scenery, but there is so much more out there if we take the...
Read MoreUnknown to the Aged and Wise as well
Last week I had the opportunity to teach at the Atrium, which is a retirement community in Grand Junction, CO. Not knowing what to expect or what I should teach, I thought to myself, what topic would they be interested in? I decided on “Dinosaurs and the Bible,” which is almost always a favorite. I had about twenty or so people join the class. It was a very serious group. Some feel asleep, while others were very attentive. After my program I opened the floor for...
Read MoreA Rose is Still a Rose
The roses around our house are now in full bloom reminding me of an article I recently read from Creation Moments – A Rose Is Still A Rose. Man has been breeding roses for quite a long time. The Chinese began breeding roses about 4,000 years ago. Rose breeders around the world have produced over 4,000 variations of roses that vary in size, color, frequency of bloom and scent. Over 25 different scents have been developed! Walter Lammerts, a leading world authority on...

Read MoreAn Eagerness in the Youth – For the Truth!
A while back I had flown to Michigan to speak at a regional youth event. After the first evening’s creation presentation, it was time for games. Many of the youth participated in the games, but there were several who did not. They had questions about Creation and Genesis, so we had a Creation/Genesis session that lasted for about two hours. It began with just a few kids, but as time passed, more and more joined in with the discussions. I was greatly encouraged to see...
Read MoreTraining Week in Springfield, MO
We just got home from leading a Creation Training Week in Springfield, MO. Despite thunderstorms, tornado warnings, and high winds, the week went extremely well. Ten people participated in the training. We were much encouraged by their interest in creation teaching, the quality of their presentations, the depth of discussion, and the great times of fellowship. We started doing intensive Creation Training Weeks back in 2006, to help individuals deepen their knowledge and...
Read MoreManufacturing Body Parts
I was just given a link to information on amazing research that has been going on for quite a while. I had heard about portions of the research, but huge advancements have been made recently. The research involves making replacement body parts such as lungs, hearts, livers, kidneys, etc. The video shows the results of a successful replacement transplant of a woman’s damaged windpipe using the patient’s own cells that were grown over a precise scaffold of protein. At this...
