I have the hardest time writing for a blog. I think, “Who in the world is going to read this?” Then, every now and then, I get a comment from someone who has actually read it and was encouraged, or challenged. That works.
CHEMISTRY
I am still working through writing Chemistry 101. Man is that a challenge, but I nearly can’t wait to watch it myself! I think it has great potential to introduce a whole new discipline to those who otherwise may never even touch it for fear that it is beyond them.
WEDNESDAY
I facilitate a small group on Wednesday nights. We have gone through Tactics in Defending Your Faith which you can find at www.str.org. We’ve gone through The Truth Project by Focus on the Family. Both of these were terrific. Just recently we finished a wonderful series by Andy Stanley called The Best Question Ever. Highly recommended.
EAGLE
We just completed the Eagle Court of Honor for Micah. That means both sons are now Eagle Scouts. My, oh, my was that a lot of work, especially as the family did it through the Boy Scout of America’s Lone Scout program. It is wonderful to have set a goal many years ago and now to see it completed. In fact, all four of us are sitting down tonight and discussing what we would like to see accomplished in the next 10 years and setting goals toward that end. God superintends the affairs of all history, but with no clear vision, the people perish. If you aim for nothing, you hit it every time.
WIFE
Proverbs 18:22: “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.” I have found a good thing. I have obtained favor from the Lord.

Dear Mr. Olson,
I'm sure you don't remember me, but at the CHEC home school conference here in Colorado this June, I had one of the youth tables across from your families booth. I can't express what a blessing it was to observe your godly family each day! None of the great speakers I heard that weekend had a bigger impact on me than your Christlike family. It was such an encouragement to meet you.
I read every post that you write, and I've never commented before, but please keep on writing them! You have at least one faithful reader in Colorado!
You are in my prayers, may the Lord bless you richly as you continue to shine for Him!
In Christ,
Hazel

Hazel,
I totally remember you and your booth! You were an encouragement to my family as well and thank you for the mega-encouraging words...and I'll keep blogging away especially as my family reminds me at the first of every month..."Where's your blog?!"
Peace with Joy,
Wes
Congratulations, Micah!
(Wes, we met in Boise, where we both spoke.)
