Yesterday was absolutely incredible! I have a wonderful collegue who is retiring. Next week he will be moving from his current parish to MN. Monday I get a call telling me that we (myself and other collegues) to come look at the books he wishes to give away.
I came away with two boxes of books. Biblical commentaries, preaching books, great literature, short story collections...the list goes on and on. It was fun.
It was great to get together with this collegue and his wife, they are some of the wisest people I know and I will miss them being just a town away.
So, as they leave, they have given me a great gift, a great gift of books that will grace my office. I may have to seek out another bookshelf! I was running out of room before this. Now! I will be bursting at the seams of my already tiny office.
It is getting late. I have been sitting on my bed most of the evening with sleeping dogs and my laptop. I have been working on worship for Sunday.
My hope is some day I will be the person who has got a worship committee that will put together entire seasons before they arive and have hymns and everything chosen. Since I do no have that, you get by the seat of my pants, at least it's done, worship planning. (At least now I have more good books to help with the process.
Tomorrow, I think I'll go to Fargo. I have visits to do there and another along the way. If I don't go tomorrow, I'll go Friday.
goodnight
