Well...I post a note about changes and a big change rolls into Marine View. I mean of course the
imminent departure of the Trainer's. Congratulations to Niel! We will miss them, for who they are and for the contributions and spirit they bring to MVPC. It will be exciting to see what God has in His plans for us and for them. OK. Now that all the PC stuff is said (however sincere and true)can we whine and pout? I have had to say good bye to too many friends over the years. (There was a time I was getting a complex about it..D0n't be my friend you will have to move). God however is so gracious and sometimes brings them back. This past week I was able to get together with a friend I had seen only once in 11 years. It is amazing how some friends you can get together with after so long and it is like no time had passed.The core of the friendship is intact despite years of separate life experiences.Talk about change..she and her family have moved nine times in eleven years. This past school year was the first time her girls attended the same school twice...and we just happen to be taking vacations this summer in Yellowstone THE SAME WEEK! Well gotta go the teen taxi service is required. Please feel free to post your reactions to this latest change. God Bless

Hi Karen! Well done! And, thank you for your kind words. Change is so hard!!! Especially when it involves every aspect of our lives. However, I take great comfort and courage knowing that God is sovereign and good. It's a relief to settle back into the truth that He is present and that He never changes!
Keeping eyes focused on Christ,
