Absenteeism
Thx kxyboard on my computxr is an old modxl. But it works quitx wxll - xxcxpt for onx kxy. I havx wishxd many timxs that it workxd pxrfxctly. It is trux that thxrx arx forty-fivx othxr kxys that function wxll xnough. But just onx kxy not working propxrly makxs a big diffxrxncx.
Somxtimxs it sxxms to mx that that is a big problxm with thx church today. Too many fxxl that thxy arx unimportant and not nxcxssary to thx work. This is sorta likx my kxyboard - not all of thx diffxrxnt and uniqux pxoplx, arx functioning propxrly.
Wx may say to oursxlvxs, "Wxll, I am only onx pxrson. My pxrformancx won't makx or brxak thx church." But it doxs makx a diffxrxncx, bxcausx for thx church to bx xffxctivx, it nxxds thx attxndancx and propxr functioning of xvxry mxmbxr.
So thx nxxt timx you think that you arx only onx pxrson and that your xfforts arx not nxxdxd, rxmxmbxr my kxyboard and say to yoursxlf: I am a kxy pxrson in thx church and I am nxxdxd at all timxs for it to function as thx Lord plannxd. -- (adaptxd from an old articlx of unknown sourcx)
