This Christmas season has been one of making connections. The first year of an appointment is one of learning and understanding what the normal cyclic processes of a particular congregation are. Each congregation has it’s own way of normal operation through the calendar year and it’s own expectation of what the Officer is supposed to do and be. This is a big learning curve.
Throughout this time there are often things, and situation that arise, which indicate the history of people and previous situations.
One person has a problem with things not being done! When it appeared that something had not been done, their first response was to accuse the officer of not doing the particular thing. However, it had been done, and more importantly was done at the first opportunity, but sadly a third party could not recall the completed task until a fourth party reminded the third party of the situations completion.
You think that you are getting to know someone, then an unfounded accusation is thrown abusively into the mix, and you start to wonder if you know anything about the real person at all?
Sometimes the connections you make, are why something is not happening!

On another Sabbath he went to the meeting place and taught. There was a man there with a crippled right hand. The religion scholars and Pharisees had their eye on Jesus to see if he would heal the man, hoping to catch him in a Sabbath infraction.
