Ray, I'm sorry about your brother's passing. He must have been a wonderful
pastor. I'm sorry our paths didn't cross.

Sandra

> Some of you on this list may have known my brother Jim Weathers when he
was pastoring. Unfortunately, Parkinson's Disease made it impossible for
him to continue with pastoral duties, so he was forced to retire from the
day-to-day pressures of the ministry.
>
> Jim was a former AP in the U.S.A.F. He served almost all of his time at
Loring Air Force Base Maine. He was a graduate of Big Spring (TX) High
School, Howard County Junior College (Big Spring, TX), and Hardin-Simmons
University at Abilene, TX (1963). He earned a Master of Theology degree
from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth, TX in 1968.

> Pastorates were (I think this is the order.):
> * Avoca Baptist Church, Avoca, TX
> * Fairview Baptist Church, Rhome, TX
> *. East St. Louis Baptist Church, E. St. Louis, MO.
> * a mission church in Ohio (name slips my mind right now)
> * a church in Illinois. Again, the name slips my mind right now
> * Vine Avenue Baptist Church, Odessa, TX
> * Oil Center Baptist Church, Oil Center, NM
> * Ouray Baptist Church, Ouray, CO
>
> After his marriage broke up and he had to seek work that was
basically stress free, he moved to St. Louis where he worked as a security
guard at the old Sheraton Hotel until it was demolished to make room for a
new football arena.
>
> The last several years of Jim's life were spent with our mother in
southern Oklahoma.
>
> Jim's graduation to Eternity with God occurred on 12 January 2003.
The end came 64 years and 5 months from his birth on 12 August 1938 just 3
or 4 miles from where he was born.
