I have an office?!.

OK.  So you may think that this is not that big of a deal and for the most part it isn't.  After all I've pretty much had an office most of my adult career of some type or another.  But since accepting the call to Emmanuel we have been a congregation with no home and therefore...no office.  We moved into this space in December and I haven't really thought about it much until recently when I've started to come into the "office" at least once a week for "office" hours.  Of course, I still have my office at home and I use that a lot for sermon prep and taking courses but that one is just down the hall from everything else and it is convenient.  This new one is 1/2 hour away.  So I seem more serious about this office than the one in my home.  I'm not sure why that is because I get the same amount of work done at either place and yet, this new one seems more important and I don't know why.  Those of you who know me know that I'm not about stuff or status so it's not that (if anything it's worse since it seems I have 6 miles of bookshelves and only 1/10 of a mile of books) and so I struggle with this new office.  This office here is still pretty sterile too as it needs some wall hangings (and those dreaded empty book shelves are staring at me) and some other touches that the home office has and yet...this office still seems more important.

Maybe someone can shed some light on this thought process that this office seems more important than any other I've ever had.  Here I am, blogging about an office in a building in the middle of Easley SC and somehow it seems important.

This is the day the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it!
