July 14: We did a lot of eating in France, a lot of Alsatian cuisine, sausage, cabbage, pork, potatoes and white wines. A few evenings we met up with the group from the Academy. Most meals were eaten with Rose in my lap. She was happy to take care of any food I was dropping on her head.

July 12: A little about our “host.” John Warwick Montgomery is the International Director of the International Academy we attended, but he is also an ordained minister in the LCMS and let’s add a few more interesting facts. He is “considered to be one of the foremost living apologists for classical, biblical Christianity. A renaissance scholar with a flair for controversy, he lives in France, England and the United States. Dr. Montgomery is the author or editor of more than fifty books in five languages. He holds ten earned degrees, including a Master of Philosophy in Law from the University of Essex, England, a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago a Doctorate of the University in Protestant Theology from the University of Strasbourg, France, and the higher doctorate in law (LL.D.) from the University of Cardiff, Wales. He is an ordained Lutheran clergyman, an English barrister, an avocet au Barreau de Paris, France, and is admitted to practice as a lawyer before the Supreme Court of the United States.” MmmKay?

July 10: In March Phil was approached with an opportunity to attend John Warwick Montgomery’s International Academy of Apologetics, Evangelism & Human Rights that’s held in July in Strasbourg. With tuition and airfare paid for it seemed like a gift too great to pass up.
Then in May things changed with Rosie and leaving her in the care of someone else was not going to work. So it was either cancel the trip or take Rose. After a lot of thought and checking with her doctors we decided to take Rose. We didn’t know how it would go but we wanted to try to make the best of it and enjoy this new kind of adventure. We also prayed a lot that she’d stay healthy.
