“You have a lot of books.”
February 18, 2012
This is what people say when they walk into my office:
You have a lot of books.
It is part of being a pastor, which requires study of the Bible, theology, and a hodge-podge of other things – including practical matters such as when to build or relocate as well as philosophy and art. I also took a degree in History. I come from book people. I once asked my father in law for a book on the Civil War, he went to a used book store and sent me a box.
It has come to the dynamic equivalence phase: to make room for a new book, i have to sacrifice an old one. As Beyoncé says, it is time for an upgrade.
