Day 53

The Prompt:  A Sunday school teacher, a worship leader and an usher discuss which job is most important.  Include the words cell phone, water and cigars.

"I might just play my guitar and sing, but God uses me to do great things for him.  In my job, people are connected to God in the most special way, pure adoration of Him and praises to Him.  There is healing through music too.  Nothing helps better than being reminded we are forgiven from our sins through some heartfelt lyrics.  Some people even get saved through worship songs.  What job could be better than helping poor souls come to drink the Living Water?"  The worship leader smiled and puffed on his cigar, a nasty habit he had picked up recently.  He was sure his argument was fool-proof.

"Yes," the Sunday school teacher agreed, "but it is we teachers who help people understand what they are singing.  We teach those ideas to them.  Sunday school teachers have it even better.  We are preaching to the youth.  By leading them to God, we are securing the future for ourselves, for them, and for their children."

The usher, who had been at his job for five years now, ignored his cell phone that had gone off.  His point was too important.  "You both have excellent points, but I disagree.  We shouldn't be arguing about whose job is most important.  All of our jobs are important.  Remember what Paul says about the church being a body?  Each and every member is important and can't function without each other.  We're all equal in God's eyes.  My job of collecting offerings might sound unimportant, but that money goes to help the church with its various outreaches for its members and for the community."
