A Great Reunion

It was a great reunion to have special guests Dr. Gary and Mary Parker at AiG yesterday.

Gary and Mary were an integral part of the commencement of the AiG/Creation Museum ministry. They both traveled many miles in those early days of AiG, speaking in church after church across the country.

Gary's book Dry Bones and Other Fossils, with its Creation, Corruption, Confusion, and Christ section, inspired me to come up with the 7 C's, upon which the Creation Museum is based.

It was tremendous to have Gary speak to the AiG staff and then give two special presentations at the Creation Museum. Even though Gary and Mary now reside in Florida with their own creationist museum and ministry of conducting creation excursions down the Peace River, etc., Gary is still one of the best-known creation speakers and authors.

We sell Gary's books through the AiG bookstore. His classic work, Creation: The Facts of Life, was updated a couple of years ago and is one of the best books available explaining the scientific aspects of the creation/evolution issue. You can obtain a copy of the book from AiG's Answers Bookstore.

I have included a number of photographs taken yesterday:

1. Gary and Mary with me, taken in the Main Hall of the Museum
2. AiG’s Mark Looy speaking with Gary after his lecture to the AiG staff
3. Gary conducting a book signing in the Dragon Hall Bookstore
4. Mark Looy talking about Gary’s book Creation: The Facts of Life to the Museum audience
5. Gary as he spoke to the staff, giving them a lot of history (including stories about me!)

Pray for Gary and Mary and for their ministry in Florida.

Devotion

“Pause and search”

(1 Kings 11:39–40) And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever. Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

When trouble comes we first try to stomp it out, but our wisdom is to pause and search our hearts for the sin that prompted the Lord Jesus Christ to chasten us.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
