Joke of
the Week
SOMEONE ELSE'S OBITUARY
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.
