I was recently informed about the existence of a new freely downloadable Bible study program, called Bible Explorer. I’ve seen many of them, and some are rather amateurish, but this one is of professional quality. It reminds me of the old WordSearch software that I used to use a long time ago, except for the …

The U. S. Postal Service could learn a valuable lesson in customer service from the Australians. In Australia, you can decline junk mail at your mailbox, and the letter carrier honours your request. Cool, huh? Speaking of junk mail, I’d like to take this opportunity to answer some of it. This is most likely the …

I got to read Tom Sholes’ book, Rocks in my Backpack, before leaving the USA. I found out that he did, indeed mention me in his book and its associated web site, http://rocksinmybackpack.com, both by name and by photo, as he did many of the hundreds of boys (and girls) who had participated in his …

On Mother’s Day, my Mom told me that my scoutmaster wrote a book about his scouting experiences. Now, I’m curious. I wonder if, among all of the many boys he had grow up in his troop, he mentioned me, either by name, or by incident. Thinking back, I probably didn’t do much to deserve a …

You may think you have freedom of speech, just because you live in the United States of America. I have news for you. There are people elsewhere who have more freedom of speech. There are also many who have much less freedom of speech. I know of a man who was just yesterday arrested by …

More photos are available at our new photo gallery for your viewing pleasure. I could have continued uploading more pictures and captions in the same place and style as we did at http://ebible.org/Johnson/gallery/, but the people who wrote the programs behind Flickr.com have already solved some problems of making a useful web-based photo gallery fairly …

Over the recent holidays, I spent some extra time in prayer about what the Lord wants us to do. I came away with some clear direction to start off this new year with. Our plans have changed. What is amazing is the way the Lord is opening doors. It is too soon to give all …

I watched way too much TV when I was a child. Now, I don’t watch much, but during Christmas vacation time, I watched some. While visiting my parents, I took advantage of their satellite TV subscription and watched The Discovery Channel and The National Geographic Channel a while. One thing that struck me about National …
