Belmont’s Main Street Program, volunteers recognized By Jamie Campbell The illuminated “GOBO” projections in downtown Belmont were recognized at the annual North Carolina Main Street Conference with the “Best Innovation” award. The lighted, highly visible “billboard” is used to market and promote local events and holidays in Downtown Belmont. The “Best Innovation” award was presented to representatives from the Belmont Main Street Board on
March 12, at the state conference held in New Bern, North Carolina. The North Carolina Department of Commerce’s Main Street and Rural Planning Center recognizes the hard work, dedication and success of Main Street communities and their achievements in the four points of the Main Street Approach to downtown revitalization: Organization, Economic Vitality, Promotion, and Design. The Best Innovation award
recognizes worthy examples of creative innovation in downtown utilizing new technology to address issues or strategies such as traffic, parking, or marketing. The Belmont Main Street program works with a professional stage lighting company to develop the GOBO images that are projected onto the side of a prominent building in downtown, right next to City Hall. The GOBO projections have See BELMONT, Page 2

Belmont Central Elementary hosts Read Across America event By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info
Belmont Central Elementary School had some special guests and plenty of exciting fun last Friday when it hosted a Read Across America event.
Read Across America can be traced back to May of 1997. This is when a small group of people at the National Education Association (NEA) came up with the idea to create a day of the year that celebrates reading among children. They reasoned that
since many school football programs can get children engaged in the sport through pep rallies, then why couldn’t the same thing be done for reading? So they decided to advocate for a Read Across America program that would See READING, Pages 6 & 7

The Junior Reid Rams are going forth There was a school cheer sung by the students of the former Reid High School, the school that served African American students in Belmont and other surrounding towns during highly segregated times, titled “Here Come the Reid High Rams”. The mascot for Reid High was the “ram”. Now, the “Junior Reid Rams” are being organized under the direction of the Charles Jesse Bynum Reid Foundation, with a meeting to be held on Saturday, March 14 at 10 AM at the Reid Ancestral Home located beside Reid Park. This organization is comprised of children, ages 5 to 12, and will allow for added growth and career development. Children, along with their parents/guardians, are invited to the ancestral home of the late Professor Charles Jesse Bynum Reid, founding and first principal of Reid School, and his wife, the late Mrs. Maude Herndon Reid, at 301 Sacco Street located in
the Reid Community of Belmont. This is where children can sign up to be a part of this new and exciting venture. Lunch will be served at 12 noon following the meeting. Along with the information concerning the newly established Ram organization, a home tour will be given. Presently, the Reid ancestral home, built in 1920 and now “100 years old”, serves as a cultural center, of sort, with several artifacts of Reid School, along with added at large historical components. The first floor of the home offers an enlarged framed letter from former U. S. President Barack Obama commemorating the “50 Years of Remembrance of Reid High” since it’s closing in 1966. Pictures of and tributes to the former Reid School administrators and faculty are prominently displayed in a glass cabinet. Some of the old Reid High School yearbooks will be available for viewing. Other pictures on the walls are of the college days and early
family life of Professor and Mrs. Reid. The three upstairs bedrooms of the ancestral home, also with pictures and added artifacts, are now designated in memory of the late Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is the hope and desire of the CJB Reid Foundation that the Rams will be comprised of all races/ethnicities. What better place for our children to learn of a part of our past and a projected need for pulling together for a bright future. The Junior Reid Rams will officially be presented to the general public on Saturday, March 29 at 4 PM at the O’Connor Grove AME Zion Church, Belmont, with an “Old Reid High Rams Pep Rally” being a part of the program. Reid High School alumni are encouraged to wear their Reid High attire of gold and blue to welcome these new Rams. Persons can contact Charles W. Reid at (704) 825-4017 for added information.

Kevin Jonas, Sr, the father of the Jonas Brothers and owner of Nellie’s Southern Kitchen in Belmont worked with city staff to create a GOBO projection for Nick and Priyanka’s wedding reception that was held in Belmont in early 2019. These billboard images have increased awareness for local events and have significantly increased sponsorship donations for the many events that the Main Street/Downtown Belmont Development Association (DBDA) board executes each year including: the Fri-
day Night Live Concerts, Belmont Christmas Village, and the newly created Belmont Blooms. In 2019 the Belmont Main Street program and the DBDA generated more money than in previous years. As a result they have been able to invest more money back into the community. The GOBO currently displayed is promoting the upcoming Bel-

At the same conference, long time Main Street Board member Angela Street was presented with the Main Street Champion award. She is currently serving as the Main Street Board President, but previously served as the Main Street Design Committee Chair for multiple years. During her tenure as the Design Committee chair, Angela and her committee of local volunteers worked to increase public art in downtown as well as developed a history walking tour app called Belmont Go.

She has held multiple positions on Main Street Board committees and has contributed countless hours volunteering for special projects and events. Angela is never far from the pulse of downtown. She exemplifies the description of a true Main Street Champion!” Multiple Main Street Board members and City Staff were present at the Main Street Conference this week to celebrate the outstanding achievements, hard work, and impact of this board in our community.

Are there thugs in your shrubs? The daffodils and the songbirds say it’s springtime in Gaston County, no matter what the calendar says. Now, while the ground is still relatively soft, is the time to check for invaders. Not just the wild onions and nutgrass in your lawn, but more serious pests growing within your landscape plants. Are your shrubs exactly what you’ve planted or have interlopers crept in? Privets, honeysuckle, wisteria, oaks, and other plants are always sending out seeds and the soil under a planted shrub is an excellent place for them to take hold. Some bushes, like nandina, elaeagnus, hollies, ligustrum (a relative of privet), and mahonia might look fine in your neighbor’s yard, but that doesn’t mean you want them growing through your tea olives. If they appear small now and you think the shade of
your shrubbery will kill them, don’t fool yourself. They have no intention of going anywhere but up, reaching through your lovely shrub to the sunlight above. You’ll see ragged privets in natural wooded areas as will as the most perfectly planted estates. They distort the look of your lovely shrubs and cripple the roots. They’re often rampant in natural areas. In fact, some cities even have annual cleanup days for their nature parks and natural areas, asking citizens to come help remove very least, chop it off at the privets from the landscape. Once you become aware ground, not just once, but as of how they look, you’ll see long as it takes. There is research indicates them in the most manicured of gardens around town. Lawn and landscape companies too often prune them into the original shrub instead of removing them. Someone needs to get to the root of the problem. Literally. Try digging it with a small spade if you can do so without damaging the other roots. At the

check your own reaction. You may wish to consider going native. The pollinators will love you for it. Mulch is another springtime additive guaranteed to improve your curb appeal. Hardwood mulch lasts longer, whereas pine mulch—not chips, but mulch—enriches your soil as it slowly breaks down. Never underestimate the power of neat edgings and borders. If one house on a block stands out in a good way, it’s most always the one with crisp edging and these non-native plants like ligustrum are more likely to cause springtime allergies.

Gaston County officials preparing for potential coronavirus threat On Monday, March 2nd, public officials representing healthcare, public health, law enforcement, first responders, and local schools met to coordinate Gaston County’s response to COVID-19, the new respiratory virus first identified in Wuhan, China. As this is a rapidly evolving situation, local officials met to discuss the ways they are preparing to handle the virus within their various sectors as well as ways they can work together to protect the community and share information with the public. As of March 3rd, there are no reported cases in Gaston County and one presumptive positive in North Carolina; the threat to the general public remains low. “While this virus itself is new, our response to these situations is not,” shared Gaston County Department of Health & Human Services Director Chris Dobbins. “We have partnerships, protocols, and years of preparedness experience from similar threats like H1N1 and Ebola. I’m more confident than ever that our county and partners are doing everything we can to prepare for any local implica-
borders, with no thug plants sneaking through their shrubbery. One final thought about your landscape. While some plants like boxwoods and small-leaved hollies are quite elegant when formally pruned, others, like azaleas, gardenias, and camellias may be trimmed, but should never be pruned into tight meatballs or hedges. Their natural growth is part of their charm and that’s the only way you’ll get the full effect of their beautiful blooms. Ready? Get set! GROW!
tions from COVID-19.” Gaston County Government has established www. gastongov.com/coronavirus to share information and resources related to the virus. Additionally, if someone has questions or concerns, they can call the North Carolina Coronavirus Call Center at 1-866-462-3821. If someone is worried they have been exposed to coronavirus, they should call their primary care provider or can call the Gaston County Department of Health & Human Services at 704-853-5009. Officials are emphasizing the need to call first to review recent travel history and symptoms before presenting to any medical facility. The best things individuals can do to protect themselves from coronavirus are the same things that will protect them from the flu: Wash your hands often with soap and water. Stay away from people who are sick. Get your flu shot! While the flu shot will not protect individuals from COVID-19, it WILL help protect them from the flu which is far more likely to cause health problems to Gaston County residents.

Friends, if you recall from last week’s edition of the paper you may remember my mentioning of driving through Mount Holly frequently and taking notice of the positive changes taking place in our beloved town. This is a drive that I would take every so often, but one I have been taking much more frequently over the past several weeks during my days off the grindstone. I suppose that timing has a lot to play into the decisions that have been made with this choice. Perhaps there were certain obstacles and events that were taking place in the past that wouldn’t allow for any other time than this very moment, and divine intervention has finished running its course allowing this drive to become what it is today. What exactly am I rambling on about, you ask? Well everyone, it’s been a long time coming but I’m proud to say that I’m coming home. The year was 1929 when Duke Power laid the bricks into the mortar and put the two-bedroom, one-bathroom house on an acre of land at the corner of Henderson and Johnson Street. My grandparents lived there all their lives, my mother following them, and now here I stand on the back-porch doorstep as Mom tells me all about the history she remembers of the house. You see, not many people I know can stand on property they were raised as a baby in and tell their twenty-seven-year-old son about how they used to play with the gravel in the driveway before it was ever paved. The house has seen so many storms, summer parties, Christmases, birthdays, celebrations, fights, births, and deaths that I have only one goal in mind as I am given this opportunity… I want the new generation of people who have moved into the new village to realize what they have moved into; that it’s far more than a speedway created by the charter school. This is sacred ground and a famous place. This is the
332 South York Street Gastonia, NC 28052 704-674-7290
neighborhood where Earl Painter Handyman Extraordinaire was born and raised. He and his friends would play outside and the neighborhood was once a place where people would feed Shelton Fisher the children who were playing so each time Earl would get sandwiches from one woman in particular, his would be the only one that didn’t have any meat in it. It was always Wonder Bread and mustard sandwiches for the neighborhood mischief maker. This is also the place where Aloma’s Catering Service gave many of the 2nd generation villagers their first crack at employment by allowing them to wash their trucks in the mid-nineties. In the summertime, the teenagers could go the catering that sits at the entrance of the neighborhood and have their share of the food left on the truck that was going to be thrown out after a hard day’s work. There were many days where I would sit with a little piece of my brother’s earnings, watching him and Daniel Hyde kick a soccer ball back and forth in front of our neighbor’s house. Over the years, our friends and neighbors have left us whether it being their time or by moving truck. There are many things that one can look at and not recognize and things that one can notice such as others disrespecting the neighborhood for the sake of the school bell or sports practice. No matter the changing of the times, one thing will remain… The house on the hill will have some original Riverbend blood inside of it. Over time you will see the house begin to breathe once more as some of the old is restored and even replaced and the yard is kept up once again. Oh yeah, and if you ever are riding through and take a glance up to the porch be sure to wave. If I’m there, I’ll be sure to wave back!

exhorted everyone to take time often to sit down with a good book. After the speech, the kids, many of whom were dressed in pajamas, had a mini read-a-thon with their parents or fellow kids. Meanwhile, the guests visited classrooms and also encouraged the children they met to read, read, read. Belmont Central principal Phyllis Whitworth was ex-
cited at the positive impact the event had on her students. “The reason we celebrated reading is because it is so vital to a child’s success,” Whitworth said. “When a child opens a book and begins reading they can imagine an entire world with dreams and goals they can hope to achieve. Reading is the key to everything.”

I’ve got your back! By Rev. Trent Rankin Salvation Church, Gastonia, NC salvationchurchnc.org pastortrent@salvationchurchnc.org
As a child, it was always a comfort knowing that I had my mom and dad watching over me. If I found myself in trouble, I could always turn to them. There is nothing in life that is more reassuring than knowing you have someone looking out for you. Whether it is your parents, or maybe a good friend, knowing that you are not alone can give you tremendous confidence to go on during the trials of life. 2 Kings 6:8-17 records an awesome story of God’s protection of His people. Israel was at war with Syria. The Syrian king was going to send his troops to overtake Israel. Elisha the prophet of God, went to the king of Israel, and told him where the Syrian army would be. The king sent his men to the area, and found just as Elisha had said. This happened several times. The king of Syria, frustrated by Israel knowing his plans, accused his own servants of being Israel’s spies. His servant told him it was Elisha the prophet, who knew what the Syrian king was thinking, as it was revealed by God. The king sent his army to find Elisha. The Syrian army surrounded the city where Elisha and his servant were staying. When the servant looked out, he saw this massive army coming for them. He panicked, yet Elisha was calm. Elisha prayed
that God would open his servant’s spiritual eyes, and when God did, the servant saw an awesome army of horses and chariots of fire all around the Rev. Trent Tankin mountainside. This story of Elisha and his servant displays the power and protection of God for His people. Like Elisha’s servant, it can be easy to panic during the many trials and sorrows of this life. There is much to fear in this world, whether it is disease or war. If we are not careful, we can allow such fear to overcome our faith, and our confidence in God. Elisha’s servant, who had seen God’s work through Elisha, was lost in his fears, yet Elisha stood calm and collected knowing that he was protected by God. We too can rest in the knowledge that God watches over us as well. When we look at our lives as Christians, is our faith strong enough to face a fearful world, knowing that God fights for us? When we realize that God has our backs, it will totally change our perspective. When we trust that God is always with us, we can approach life with the confidence that, no matter what comes our way, God will never leave us. You can have trust today, that in a fearful world, Jesus is with you!

Mary Warner, the School Counselor at Lowell Elementary School, along with members of the Student Council recently stopped by PetSmart in Gastonia to deliver donations from their school. They delivered five buggies of supplies and a monetary donation check to support animals in the care of Tri-County Animal Rescue. All of the volunteers were overwhelmed by their giving spirit and concern for animals. Tri-County wants to thank all the great students and staff of Lowell Elementary School for all they do to help animals.
Meditations Don’t hide from the truth For some people, last week was “voting” Tuesday. During the election year, I enjoy a good conversation about the issues that are foremost in the hearts of the people. I am puzzled when I talk to people who are not aware of the platforms of the candidates. I ask, “Don’t you care about the agenda?” What they say next causes me concern. Sometimes I hear, “I am voting for this person because it is the lesser of two evils.” What?!!! Why vote for any evil. In this devotion, I am not writing about politics in the secular sense. I am concerned that we are bringing politics into the church. Not politics from our country’s election season, but when we begin to make decisions in our church based on politics such as who thinks as I do, or who will line up with my ideology, we are no better than Pilate who washed his hands before the crowd to rid himself of Jesus’ blood. That’s another sermon for another day. “Just then, as Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: Leave that innocent man alone. I suffered through a terrible nightmare about him last night. Meanwhile, the leading priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas to be released and for Jesus to be put to death. So, the governor asked again, ‘Which of these two do you want me to release to you?’” Matthew 27:19-21 NIV. The crowd continued to shout, crucify Jesus and release Barabbas. Pilate called for a bowl of water and washed his hands before the crowd putting the responsibility back on the
crowd. “Pilate saw that he wasn’t getting anywhere and that a riot was developing. So he sent for a bowl of water and washRev. Angela Pleasants ing his hands before District the crowd, saying, Superintendent ‘I am innocent of of Catawba Valley this man’s blood. Methodist Churches The responsibility is yours!’” Matthew 27:24 NIV. But did Pilate release himself? When we make decisions based on politics and hide from the truth, are we as innocent as we presume? Pilate’s ordering of Jesus’ execution was carried out in the political backwaters of Palestine. As a result, Pilate’s political maneuvers compromised his integrity. Learning from Jesus, he was not moved by politics, but by the mission of God. “For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will.” John 6:38 NIV. But even in Pilate’s duplicity, God’s will was accomplished. Through the deceptive, grievous deeds of Pilate and the religious leaders, God provides salvation for them and the world. Each day we may be confronted with policies and procedures that may be in contradiction to how we, as children of God, are called to live. Always remember we are called to be instruments of God’s grace in everyday life.

Mountain Island falls to Winston-Salem Prep 85-69 by John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
Mountain Island Charter School’s postseason run ended with a tough 85-69 loss to the Winston-Salem Prep Phoenix in the regional semi-finals of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association 1A playoffs. As soon as the Raptors took the court they knew this game was not going to be easy. Winston-Salem Prep played well and kept MI from setting the tempo. At the break, the Raptors trailed 42-31. In the third quarter, things tightened up a little bit but the Phoenix were not about to let the Raptors mount a comeback. Winston-Salem Prep did what they needed to do to hold the Raptors back. During the entire game, Mountain Island was never able to set the tone or control the game. Considering who they were up against, the Raptors played a decent game. But when you’re facing a perennial 1A powerhouse like Prep, decent won’t be enough. The Phoenix managed to keep the Raptors at bay and went on to win. Facing a team like this was a new experience for the MI crew. The Phoenix are the real deal. Prep has won six championships in the last 12 years. Truth be told this weekend they will be playing in the state championship. Mountain Island played hard but they just couldn’t
match the firepower the Phoenix had on display. “It was the first time going against the big boys,” head coach Robert Price said. “WinstonSalem has a good program. We didn’t have our best game, but it was a great learning experience.” MI struggled to get on track. The Raptors highly rated backcourt didn’t have a good night. “Our backcourt didn’t have the night we would have loved to of had,” Price explained. “As a team overall, we didn’t have the night we would have liked to have had. Our senior backcourt is a special duo in Demetrius Washington and Anthony Phillips.” Washington finished the night with 24 points while Phillips finished up with 19. “They still had a good game,” Price said of Washington and Phillips. “But we needed a great game from them and some of the juniors.” While Philips and Washington had solid numbers they struggled from threepoint range. The pair went two for 21 beyond the arch. Had MI been able to hit some long-range shots, the dynamics of the game may have been different. “If a few of those had fallen it’s a different ball game,” Price added.
The season may be over, but the guys at MI have no reason to hang their heads. The Raptors went 23-6 this year and had a deep playoff run. In going up to WinstonSalem the Raptors got a chance to see what state championship basketball is all about. When you face an overwhelming opponent you have two choices; You can roll over, or you can learn from the experience. The Raptors plan on learning from this experience. “I don’t think our seniors were rattled,” coach Price said. “But it was good for the program to see the type of team they have to go through.” Price and his Raptors plan to regroup and make another run next year. If that path takes them through Winston-Salem so be it. The Raptors plan to be ready. “We got a great group of boys,” Price went on to say. “I’m excited about next year.”

Cramer softball off to 3-0 start By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
The 2020 high school softball season is well underway and in Cramerton the Stuart Cramer Storm have gotten off to a fantastic start. Three games into the season and Cramer is undefeated at 3-0. So far this year, Cramer has bested South Rowan 8-1, Challenger Early College 14-4 and Bessemer City 6-2. In the first game of the year, the Storm hosted the South Rowan Lady Raiders. Freshman Emma Donaldson got the start and pitched one inning before being relieved by fellow freshman Payton Conroy. Conroy pitched for six innings and during her time on the mound she gave South Rowan fits whiffing 13 batters in the first win of her high school career. In addition to pitching a great game, Conroy showed she can swing a bat as well going one for four with a home run and an RBI. Also turning in solid batting performances were Emma Donaldson and Madison Freeman. Donaldson went one for three with an RBI while Freeman went one for three with a double. Next up for the Storm was another home game. This time against Challenger Early College. Emma Donaldson got to start and didn’t disappoint. Donaldson delivered the goods by striking out 10 batters and only giving up one run on her way to pitching a complete game. At the plate, catcher,

Stuart Cramer catcher Braley Hamilton gets ready to field a pitch during action against South Rowan. Photos by Michelle Cope Wilson Braley Hamilton was on fire. Hamilton went four-forfour at the plate as she belted out two doubles and a pair of RBIs. As if that weren’t enough, the sophomore catcher also stole a base and scored four runs. In addition to Hamilton swinging the heavy bat, Madison Freeman, and Peyton Conroy turned in a pair of solid offensive performances as well. Freeman went two for three with a double end and three runs scored while Conroy went three for five with two doubles, a triple and four RBIs. Cramer notched their third win of the season against Bessemer City.
The Storm went with Payton Conroy on the mound and the freshman stayed on top of things for seven innings. Conroy earned the win by striking out 15 Yellowjacket batters and only giving up two runs. In the batting department, Andrea Detweiler went two for two with three RBIs while Braley Hamilton was two for three with an RBI of her own. Cramer has definitely started the year on a roll. The Storm seem to playing well, running with a roster filled with veteran players and up and coming underclassmen including two freshmen pitchers Peyton Conroy and Emma Donaldson. Donaldson and Conroy have definitely played well so far.
“Our pitching is leading the way,” head coach Matt Scholz said. “Our freshmen are playing very well.” In addition to some solid pitching, Cramer has been playing smart heads up softball. “Along with the pitching, the things that have kept us in the game are things like situational hitting and situational base running,” Scholz said. “That includes sac flies and bunting at appropriate times.” In addition to Donaldson and Conroy, another underclassman that is making an early impact is sophomore catcher Braley Hamilton. Hamilton is showing solid skills as both a solid defensive player and a potent offensive weapon. “Our catcher Braley Hamilton is really leading the way,” coach Scholz added. “She is hitting .700 in the last three games.” This week the Storm will have to ratchet thing up to the next level as they take on Kings Mountain, North Mecklenburg, and Crest.

Abbey women end on high note Brittany Autry recorded a double-double as the Belmont Abbey women’s basketball team wrapped up its regular season on a 16game winning streak, with a 64-50 win over Mount Olive last week. The Abbey, who has won the Conference Carolinas regular season, finishes the regular season with a 26-2 overall record, with a 21-1 Conference Carolinas record. The Trojans finish their regular season 18-8 overall, with a 15-7 conference mark. How it Happened Manuela Fungate scored each of The Abbey’s first four points. With 1:32 left in the quarter, Autry made a layup to give the Crusaders the lead for good. In the second,
it was Kelli Thomas scoring each of the first four Crusader points. The stubborn Abbey defense only gave up one field goal in the last four minutes of the quarter, and BAC led 34-22 at halftime. Late in the third, The Abbey held the Trojans to one field goal over a five-minute span, to take a 44-32 lead. Belmont Abbey led 50-38 heading into the final period. In the fourth, the Crusaders never let the lead slip below 12, and wrapped up the 64-50 victory. On the night, Autry was the Crusaders’ leader, with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Spivey finished with 12 points and eight boards. Belmont Abbey photo/story

Congratulations Avery! Avery Davis, an 8th grader at Belmont Middle School, won first place for the second year in a row at the NC Region 6 Science and Engineering Fair at UNCC in her category, Biology B, junior division for her project, “Do You Have the Heart to Taste? A Study of the Effects of Beta Blockers on the Tasting Abilities of Older Adults.” She also won the top middle school award in the region from the American Chemical Society for Excellence in Chemical Sciences. Her project has some significant implications for the 1 in 4 senior adults who take beta blockers on a daily basis. Davis is headed to the North Carolina Science and Engineering Fair at NCSU in Raleigh to compete on March 28. It will be a big week for her, as she is also competing in the North Carolina National Geographic Bee on March 27 as one of the top 100 geography students in the state and the only GCS student to qualify.

It doesn’t take too many warm days in a row and one begins thinking spring. And with the time change upon us, I’m all in! It’s GARY MILLER official for me. Let the world begin again – afresh, anew, and with gobs of possibilities of which all include the outdoors. I think the toilsome, long winter only magnified my excitement about the upcoming warm days. Stories of limits of crappie have stirred my restlessness as well. My mind is running wild. I have a substantial list of things I need to do around the house. Spring cleaning has become spring restoration. I am also eager to jump on a tractor and prepare fields and to even plow up my little garden. But while my eagerness wanes from year to year, the constant of spring is sure. It may come in as a lion or a lamb, but it is coming. It may be wetter or dryer than normal, but it is coming. It may be hotter or colder than normal, but it is so sure we actually have given its arrival an official date. March 20th. Does it sound presumptuous that we do that? I hope not. It has not let us down as far back as civilization. It is like one of many constants that scientists cannot explain. Ones like, why gravity’s pull is the same, why the earth turns at the same speed and even why water always boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. These constants are so sure our whole life is built around their reliability. It goes the same for hunting and fishing. Aren’t you glad the powder in a shotgun shell or the amount of gas your boat needs to operate doesn’t change from day to day? The universe is really fine-tuned. So, what is the take from all of this? And why should I care? The take is this. The creator of this universe is also the sustainer of this universe. That means while He may have set some things in motion, He is still active in its processes. We may say that it seems He must have better things to do or He would forever be busy. But these conclusions are based on a human response to what it means to be better or how much activity we think one needs to be busy. You see, the constants for the universe were created by One who was outside of it – One who has his own constants. What are they? They are many but the main one is love and a second one is that He does not change. And this is why we should care.
