http://jimabernathy.blogspot.com/2015/07/trust-lordin-everything.html
Thursday, July 2, 2015. Trust the Lord.In Everything! God's blessings to you on this soggy Thursday! I told someone in a distant city after a recent downpour here (. Can't remember which one because they have been happening multiple times a day! That the ark had been completed and we were ready to set sail! They thought I was talking about water in my basement. I assured them our basement was one of the few things dry around us, but the water outside seemed to be rising fast! View my complete profile.

Friday, July 24, 2015. Since I cannot join our adopt-a-highway group tomorrow to clean Old Keene Mill Hwy, I went ahead and cleaned a portion of this busy road that Westwood is responsible for this morning. It was a beautiful morning. Indeed, one woman who smiled at me as she waited for a bus, pointed to the blue sky, breathed in the air, and said of the day, "It's a gift! Sunday morning we will share in the dedication of Adalyn Chen to the Lord by her parents, Paul and Kyle. We will also hear from o...

Pastor Jim's Blog: Prayer
http://jimabernathy.blogspot.com/2015/08/prayer.html
Thursday, August 13, 2015. I was given a special gift today, a wristband made by one of our children. The wristband was created to serve as a reminder of the young man's grandfather who is battling cancer. I appreciated the ingenuity and love that motivated this reminder to think about and pray for his grandfather. I have looked at it several times today and paused each time to think and pray. It is good to remember and pray. I look forward to seeing you. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Pastor Jim's Blog: What Can I Give Him?
http://jimabernathy.blogspot.com/2015/08/what-can-i-give-him.html
Saturday, August 8, 2015. What Can I Give Him? The final verse of Christina Rossetti's poem, "In the Bleak Midwinter," is the inspiration for this series, as she writes,. What can I give Him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb; if I were a wise man, I would do my part; yet, what can I give Him- give Him my heart.". I hope you will join us tomorrow and throughout the month for these special August Sundays at Westwood. I look forward to seeing you at 9:30 in the morning!

Friday, January 30, 2015. And threatened the fellowship of believers. Sharing the joy of Christ with others is a privilege and a calling that should never be taken for granted. The Super Bowl, the commercials, and yes, the wings are good reason to gather together. Our greatest treasure of fellowship, however, is found in the fellowship and worship we share with brothers and sisters in Christ. Friday, January 16, 2015. Who Is Your Neighbor? It would be good for people of faith to remember these lessons to...
