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 every
one 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. Whenever there was a financial need,
everyone just assumed Someone Else would make up the difference.
Someone Else was a wonderful person; sometimes appearing
superhuman. 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.
