There was a most important job that needed to be done,
And no reason not to do it, there was absolutely none.
But in vital matters such as this, the thing you have to ask
Is who exactly will it be who’ll carry out the task?
Anybody could have told you that everybody knew
That this was something somebody would surely have to do.
Nobody was unwilling; anybody had the ability.
But nobody believed that it was their responsibility.
It seemed to be a job that anybody could have done,
If anybody thought he was supposed to be the one.
But since everybody recognised that anybody could,
Everybody took for granted that somebody would.
But nobody told anybody that we are aware of,
That he would be in charge of seeing it was taken care of.
And nobody took it on himself to follow through,
And do what everybody thought that somebody would do.
When what everybody needed so did not get done at all,
Everybody was complaining that somebody dropped the ball.
Anybody then could see it was an awful crying shame,
And everybody looked around for somebody to blame.
Somebody should have done the job
And Everybody should have,
But in the end Nobody did
What Anybody could have.
As you read the poem above I hope that you thought of all that we have going on at the church now! We are moving into our new building. It is a lot of work for a lot of people. I thank God for everyone that has done so much to keep things moving.
Now as we move we will be looking for everybody, anybody, nobodies included, somebody, and you to help us get so much done. Lord willing, we will be ready to move in the next week or so. On Monday, Lord willing, we will move lots of things into the building. I hope you will volunteer to help.
This move is a great thing for Vision but it comes at a difficult time of the year. Everyone is busy. Everybody is spending their money on Christmas etc. Will you ask the Lord if He might have you to step in and do something extra this month.
