Tomorrow is the day I go under the knife for my ACL replacement. Just in time, my knee went out again this morning. It sounds so yucky when it happens, like I injured t all over again but really it is just collapsing because it doesn't have the support it needs.
I think churches and ministries within churches are like that. You can lose an important piece and for awhile be fine but eventually it will collapse. You can try to just grin and bear it but in the end reconstruction is the best long term solution rather than walking through ministry/church life hoping it stays stable.

Amen to that...(another) one of our deacons recently died (God bless deacons & their ministry!) and it is constantly being driven home how many "secret duties" they do! The "average church-goer" in a small church (& maybe even big ones) really doesn't think about who actually changes the light bulbs; makes the morning coffee for Sunday School; turns the heat/air on in the wee hours of each Sunday morning; fixes that squeaky door; etc...I could go on! It does, however open opportunities for others to step in and "serve"...after all...that is one of the reasons we were created! :)
