About Jan C. Johnson

Welcome! If you like food, reading, laughing over life's little disasters, and maybe thinking about the bigger things of life, you have come to the right place. Besides blogging, I write humorous fiction, though real life tends to leave fictional humor in the shade. But I'm not a total goofball. No, really. I've also written a most riveting memoir--not mine, which would be boring, but rather the life story of an obscure pastor in Liberia, West Africa. His hair-raising memories of the Liberian Civil War years make for some suspenseful reading! Discover more under the "My Books" tab. I live in North Texas with my husband, Brent. We enjoy bicycling, Mexican food, and traveling to visit our kids and grandkids.

Healthy Skepticism

Posted on April 8, 2012 by Jan C. Johnson

I’m linking up with Jen and our Soli Deo Gloria sisters! “You’re such a Doubting Thomas!” When I hear someone say this, it’s usually meant as an insult, as if Thomas were not much better than Judas the betrayer. But … Continue reading →
