"What doth
it profit, my
brethren,
though a man say he
hath faith,
and have not works?
can faith save
him?"
James 2:14
Someone Else
The
church bowed in grief this week
to learn that one of our most
valuable members, Someone Else,
passed away. This death creates
a vacancy that will be difficult
to fill. Someone Else has been
with us for many years. During
all these years, Someone Else
did far more than a normal
person's share of the work.
Whenever leadership was
mentioned, this wonderful person
was looked to for inspiration as
well as results.
Whenever there was a job to do,
a class to teach, or a meeting
to attend, one name was on
veryone's list ~ "Let Someone
Else do it."
Someone Else was also among the
largest givers of the church.
Whenever there was a financial
need, everyone just assumed that
Someone Else would make up the
difference.
This beloved church member was a
wonderful person, sometimes
appearing superhuman; but a
person can only do so much.
Everyone expected too much of
Someone Else. Now Someone Else
is gone.
Who will pitch in to do the
things that Someone Else has
done? If you are asked to take a
job in church, we hope you won't
reply, "Let Someone Else do it."
Now we need you to pick up where
Someone Else left off.
"Lord Dictated
Them"
