Welcome! I'm so happy you've chosen to visit my site! My name is Frank Johnson. I am a follower of Jesus.

My wife Bobbetta and I have been joyfully married for 30 years and have a 27-year-old daughter Emily. We live in a beautiful area bordered on one side by a gorgeous mountain range and on the other side by the Pacific Ocean.

While none of her sons became the answer to her prayers in this regard, in biblical terms, I was in the loins of my father* when she prayed, and I believe that through the mercies of Christ and at least partially through this website, I have the opportunity to be the fulfillment of that God-given desire in her heart.
