I am starting to get a glimpse of the future and I think I am going to enjoy it.
It won’t be long before I won’t HAVE to do ANYTHING when I get home from work. I can actually come home and relax with my wife! What a concept!
But, those days aren’t here quite yet. I mean, I still have boxes to go through, books to organize and furniture to move into place.
Tonight, I tackled the books since that has a direct effect on our bedroom. As I moved books from shelf to shelf, organizing them into categories, I stumbled upon a great idea to make the bookshelves more than places for books. They are going to be reminders of the significant moments in my life.
In the philosophy section, I have a small bronzed plaster sculpture of Socrates. In the exercise and fitness section, I will have a small version of Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man. Both of these men, though long dead, helped form me while I was in high school and continue to influence me to this very day.
The marriage section will have the little plastic doll of Snoopy dressed in a baseball uniform. I gave it to a sister in church for a Christmas present. The night that she took it home, God spoke to her heart that she was going to be my wife!
The parenting section will have a picture of one of my best friend’s father because of the life changing advice he gave me.
The theology section will have a picture of the man who led me to Christ.
My library will be a place of learning and a place of remembering.
