"Ladies and gentlemen, we have
just dropped in to Washington National Airport." The
announcement by the flight attendant, with an emphasis on the word,
"dropped," brought laughter from the passengers. You see, as we landed
last night, an anticipated smooth landing in good weather became an
unexpected hard landing as we literally bounced on the runway before safely
coming to a stop. I have experienced rougher landings but never with the
good-natured commentary of a flight attendant...gave the phrase "dropping in" a
whole new meaning!
We have some familiar friends dropping in this afternoon as the U.S. Army
Chorus presents a concert at Westwood at 5 PM. These wonderful musicians have
become an annual fixture at Westwood and are a blessing every time they join
us. I hope you will drop in to hear their music and support these men in
uniform.
Tomorrow morning you will want to be present for Youth Sunday. This
special day is always a blessing as our young men and women lead our worship.
You will want to be present to encourage them and let them know you appreciate
them as they lead us.
Happy Landings!
Jim Abernathy
