Our oldest grandson

 
I am Martin LaBar. I used to work in the Science Division of Southern Wesleyan University. Thanks for visiting!

My work is mostly about the Bible and science, about science or computing, or about fantastic literature. I've also included some pages about me, and a few Bible study helps.

You may enjoy our Flickr photos, mostly showing nature, or you may want to read my blog, which is mostly about the same topics as this page.
