Justice

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

So I was reading one of my favorite authors, N.T. Wright, last night and he is so…pardon the pun, right…when he writes about the need to make things right. In specific, the particularly human need to set things right in the world or as he puts it, the need for justice.
Where does that [...]

Into the Mystery

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

So I don’t have all the answers or many answers for that matter. I just don’t know. I do not know why things happen the way they do or how things end up in the shape which they do. I especially don’t know all there is to know about people, the universe and God. [...]

Time Crunch

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

Where is all the leisure time they said we would have if we bought their gizmos? You know what Im talking about. All those ways our lives would be easier, simpler and more care free. Has it worked for you? Do you have more ‘free time’ on your hands than you did [...]

JetBlue

Friday, August 13th, 2010

I spend a lot of time traveling.
Mostly by air.
So I read with interest the news article about the flight attendant who had had all he could take: apparently a JetBlue flight attendant flipped out after an argument with an agitated traveler last Monday, cussed the passenger out over the intercom, stole a beverage from the [...]

All You Need Is Love

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

It always bugged me that the Beatles released their 40th (or so) #1 hit, ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE, and then they broke up!
I guess it takes more than just singing about love to make it real in your life.
Love is both the central motive and supreme test for anyone who says they are following [...]

The Future

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

Thanks again to everyone for such a warm welcome into your church. This week we’ve been really busy planning, preparing for and brain-storming about the future. Since the future is where we are all headed it’s a good idea to work on it!
What does your future hold? Would it be good to know? [...]

Thank You!

Sunday, August 1st, 2010

Thanks everyone for making my family and me feel so welcome at Westview.  It meant so much to us.
I am very excited about the possibilities, the potential and the promises we have before us!  I believe the path to God’s unfolding future is through faith, hope and love. And love, we all know, is the [...]

Introduction toTom Clegg!

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

I am humbled and honored to be called by the Elder Board of Westview to serve as your Interim Pastor.
What exactly is an interim pastor?  Webster describes interim as “on or for the intervening time period.”  So, I am serving as our pastor until Westview calls a new pastor.  In that time I will be [...]

An Update from Jay

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Wow!  The end is near for Barb and me at Westview!  It’s hard to believe that our 17 plus years with this great church will soon come to an end.  Our last Sunday with you will be July 25.  We will miss you all terribly, but we know that God had great things in store [...]
