Our church was saddened to learn this week
of the death of one of our most valued members, Someone
Else. Someone's passing creates a vacancy that will be
difficult to fill. Else has been with us for many years
and for everyone of those years, Someone did far more than
a normal person's share of the work.
Whenever there was a job to do, a class to teach, or a
meeting to attend, one name was on everyone's list,
"Let Someone Else do it." Whenever leadership
was mentioned, this wonderful person was looked to for
inspiration as well as results; "Someone Else can
work with that group." It was common knowledge that
Someone Else was among the most liberal givers in our
church. When ever there was a financial need, everyone
just assumed Someone Else would make up the difference.
Someone Else was a wonderful person; sometimes appearing
super human. Were the truth known, everybody expected too
much of Someone Else. Now Someone Else is gone! We wonder
what we are going to do.
Someone Else left a wonderful example to follow, but who
is going to follow it? Who is going to do the things
Someone Else did? When you are asked to help this year,
remember - we can't depend on Someone Else anymore.

Isn't
it strange how a 20 dollar bill seems like such a
large amount when you donate it to church, but such
a small amount when you go shopping?
Isn't
it strange how we'll readily spend $10 for lottery
tickets, $25 at the bingo parlor, or even $100 on a
gambling boat and think nothing of it, for a
long-shot chance at short term gain. But when it
comes to the LORD we are very reluctant to spare one
thin dime as a show of faith when eternity is at
stake?
Isn't
it strange how everyone wants a place in heaven, but
they don't want to believe, do, or say anything to
get there?
Isn't
it Strange?
