There is an old expression that says, "The only ones that like change are babies." However, change is inevitable in our lives and our situations. As we journey through life, hopefully we are making good changes such as eating right, exercising more and internalizing more of God's Word. There are many things we can do to better ourselves physically, emotionally and spiritually. But most people don't like change.
Presentation to Dave and Carol Bowles at the Adrian Nazarene Church
Dave, Carol and Jackie the Sunday before Dave and Carol moved to Kansas
A change is taking place in our church as our long time members, Dave and Carol Bowles, have moved to Olathe, Kansas. This past Sunday was their last Sunday at the Adrian First Church of the Nazarene. They are planning on being in Kansas by the end of the day on Monday. The church had a ceremony recognizing them for their faithfulness and leadership in the church for many years. Dave also has been cutting hair in Adrian for 48 years. He estimates he has cut around 450,000 heads of hair over the years. He is Paul's barber, and now that he has left Adrian, Paul is threatening to look like the men on Duck Dynasty. Dave has been instrumental in heading up Bible studies over the years which has had a great impact in many who have attended. Dave and Carol will certainly be missed. Change is inevitable but Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Monday evening Gail and Paul worked in the Republican booth at the Lenawee County Fair. The booth has a question of the day where people respond by putting a bean in a jar marked either yes or no. Each question has to do with many of the changes that are taking place by our federal government. As we served in the booth people came along and freely expressed their opinion regarding some of these changes. Even though these changes are taking place for good or for ill, we know that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
The Republican booth Question of the Day. Results Yes-13, No-109
