A little Story about Fred Somebody, Tom Everybody, Peter Anybody,
and Joe Nobody...

All these people were neighbors, but they were not like you and me. They were odd people and most
difficult to understand. The way they lived was a shame. All four belonged to the same church,
but you would not have enjoyed worshipping with them.
Everybody went fishing on Sunday or stayed home to visit with friends. Anybody wanted
to worship but was afraid Somebody wouldn't speak to him.
So guess who went to church - uh huh - Nobody.

Really Nobody was the only decent one of the four. Nobody did the visitation.
Nobody worked on the church building.
Once they needed a Sunday school teacher. Everybody thought that Anybody would do it,
and Anybody thought that Somebody would do it. And you know who did it?
That's exactly right... Nobody!

It happened that the fifth neighbor (an unbeliever) moved into the area. Everybody thought
Somebody should try to win him for Christ. Anybody could have made the effort.
Somebody could have become his friend.
You probably know who finally won him: Nobody!

This little parable brings to focus again the fact that each of us is personally responsible
for God's work. If we leave it to Sombody or Everybody or Anybody - Nobody will do it.

Taken from the Silent Evangelist # 132
