This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody would do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done..................Did all of that make sense to you?
People will always be people no matter where you put them. Church, School, Civic club, Men's group, Ladies club or any other place that people gather. There will always be hypocrites and trouble makers. I believe that my responsibility is not to be that person. Think about it, if you have the love of Jesus in your heart, how can you be the cause of chaos and conflict? Being a drama queen is not a spiritual gift. I choose not to be concerned with Everybody, Somebody, Anybody or Nobody. I will be concerned with my walk with God and how it affects those around me. I'm thinking that when I stand before God, I will only have to answer for what one person did in this life..... ME.
