Craig Johnson

Exploring family ancestry reveals a living faith passed through generations, from immigrant roots and diverse traditions to today’s journey through Lent and Easter hope. Reflecting on Hebrews 12, we are reminded that we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses and called to carry forward a faith shaped by grace, memory, and resurrection promise.

As Michigan shifts from winter to spring, we’re reminded that God is present in every season. From icy sidewalks to blooming hope, creation reflects His faithfulness. Easter proclaims the ultimate promise fulfilled: Christ is risen, and new life is always near for every heart.

At 86, Craig Johnson reflects with humor on aches, aging, and asking God why he’s still here. While the world equates slowing down with uselessness, Scripture points to Abraham, Moses, Simeon, and Anna as proof that God calls people in every season. Rooted in grace, not strength, our vocation continues - sometimes simply by praying, encouraging, and bearing faithful witness.
