John H. has been living in the Washington, DC area for many years. He came to Maryland to attend the University of Maryland - College Park in the early 1970s because his piano teacher in Pennsylvania said that Maryland had a great piano department. He met his wife-to-be, Jan, in a music theory class. It was quite a bit later that they met again and married, but that was after John came to believe in Jesus and trust His word, the Bible. He is still learning and growing as he reads, meditates on, and puts into practice this marvelous book-of-books! This same book says of itself (in 1 Thessalonians 2:13) "when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe."
