Your deacon is a wonderful example as to why I don't like to bother people with my issues. Sometimes common sense takes a vacation with even the best intentions.

Infuriating.

Ditto. But sadly not really surprising.

When I was single...my dad would come over for major repair things that were beyond me. Course, I tried to struggle through a couple of things on my own.
He had one rule and that was I had to assist him. That way, if it happened again, I would at least have a clue about what to do so when he's gone, I could handle it.
My dad made sure that I could change my own oil and knew how to use basic tools before I was 18. He was determined that I not have to depend on anyone unnecessarily who may take advantage.

That wasn't a blanket statement about all deacons. There are some good ones but in my experience the ones who do a poor job far outnumber the ones who do a good job.

Thank you! (I still call female actors actresses and female waitstaff waitresses. Nothing wrong with a feminine ending.)
Although the stewardesses sometimes get upset at being called stewardesses. (and yes I call the male ones stewards)

Deacons should definitely be servants of the church. Absolutely! By all means! At the same time, that doesn't prevent other members of the church from being servants as well.
I really like the idea of "handy-man" ministries. There would be a group of people that everyone in the church would know they could call, even just for advice.
This is true. We should all be servants. I also like the handy-man ministries. I think it would be a huge help to the church and even a huge tool for church growth. (You have better results "showing " yourself to be Christian than by "telling" people you're Christian. They need to see Christ in us.

(ouch. Owe. Stop that) You just had to wake it up didn't you (let go of my ear. Ouch OK OK I'll fix it)
I would like to make it known that I am not brilliant. Not even close. I'm as dumb as a box of rocks and far less interesting
grumble (Ouch!)

I'd try to fix it, but if I couldn't I'd call family members.
