He weighted 8 lb. 1 0z. and was 21″ long. Mom and Baby are both doing great. Hope you all enjoy pictures of the newest…

The reason that I have not updated this page in a while is the business of the building project. Those pastors who have engaged in a building project are well-aware as to how stressful and frustrating something like this can be. Praise God that we are on the tail-end. With that being said, my family is taking a vacation. We…
Sorry about the confusion in my last post. Bonnie is not 6 months pregnant. She is about 4 months along (I have no idea why I said 6 months). We went to the doctor Tuesday to find out the gender of the baby. The little booger kept it’s legs tightly squeezed together so we couldn’t tell. Bonnie went back on…
Here is just a quick update on the happenings at the Johnson household. I don’t have time to write much. Recently the only time I sit at the computer is to prepare sermons. Bonnie is now about 6 months pregnant with our second child. We find out in a few weeks whether the little soul is a he or she. …
In my recent studies of the book of Ephesians, I noticed that the phrase “will of God” or “desire of God” is used often in the first chapter. Paul’s apostleship, all the spiritiual blessings, the adoption, predestinating, choosing, sealing, etc. is all accomplished because He chooses it to be so. How this humbles me! I owe my existence and my…
To those who read this blog, I am sorry that I have not written in a while. To those who read this blog for pictures, I will post some more pics when I find my camera cable or get a new one. Meanwhile, let me update you all on why I have not found much time to write-our building project. When…
Monday and Tuesday Pastor Wally and I spent hours sitting in a car braving the Wyoming winter to attend the Fundamental Baptist Fellowship meeting in Denver, CO. Was it worth it to drive about 9.5 hours for one day of fellowship? Was it worth it to have to drive through a typical Wyoming storm along I-80 for a few hours…
It is hard to believe that 28 years ago yesterday, my loving mother was putting her life on the line to bring a baby boy into the world. I have always wondered why we get presents on our birthday-I did nothing to come into this world. In fact, I never even faced the trauma of the birth canal. My mom…
Originally written February 21, 2006 True Sacrifice Do I really know what true sacrifice is? How can I with my all that I have really understand sacrifice. I am afraid that in the greater context of modern American Christianity, we have forgotten what it means to sacrifice. In Mark 12, we see Jesus being rather “intrusive” in the affairs of…
“And the duty of singing praises to God seems to be appointed wholly to excite and express religious affections. No other reason can be assigned why we should express ourselves to God in verse rather than in prose, and do it with music, but only that such is our nature and frame that these things have a tendency to move…
