new pic

so the new profile picture is just of me and averie but cail took the picture. that was as close to having a picture of all three of us as i could get. we are headed to kentucky this weekend and are looking forward to catching up with many of our team members there. we have a few churches in kentucky that have supported our family for almost four years now. it will be great to give them an update and see some familiar faces!!!

more n.z. videos

right, now where is my cut for advertising??

a piece of home, away from home, away from home...

ok, so i know that is a weird title but it just shows the unique place of life we are in. it might sound totally outrageous to you, but it is beautifully wonderful to me that meijer(a local grocery/department store chain) now sells the brand of laundry detergent i used in n.z. i guess the bowlin's are just destined to always be homesick. here we are at "home" but yet we are still missing things that are familiar, friends, places, foods. how can that be if i am "home"? i suppose we have just created (or better yet God has created for us) more than one "home". it might just also help me remember that neither of these earthly places are really home at all. with that said watch the video!!!! if you are from the states, enjoy the accent, if you are from n.z. enjoy seeing something from your home!!! most of all i hope all of you know you are all a part of our "home" wherever that may be for the day!!!!!!
