About Me

John Silvius: Wooster, Ohio, United States; I grew up as a farm boy, and have spent a good part of my life in the sunshine of God's grace, attempting to nurture my wonderful wife, our son and daughter and their loved ones, students, friends, plants, and an occasional animal. I have learned much from my family and from teachers for whom I am thankful. I love the sweet sights and smells of God's creation and even more when I can share it with others. The creation and the Bible mutually affirm the wisdom, power, love, and kindness of God to me. I hope to be an example of one who follows biblical instruction in how to love God and my neighbor as I do myself, and who is content to live as a steward of the natural world and material blessings entrusted to me.
