Making An Office A Home


I gotta say right now I am working out of my favorite office ever. Last year the church leased an office as a sub-lease and I thought I liked that, but this office is better. Maybe I'm biased because I built it, but I like it.

I'm starting to make it a little more comfortable. Much of a pastor's work is creative in nature, so I'm trying to make it a place that fosters that type of response when I come in. I've never been a big picture guy, but I've already got plans for some pictures to put up around the walls. And I got to move out of the cold, corporate bookshelves that I salvaged from a closing business ten years ago. I got some barrister bookcases from Craigslist, and installed them yesterday with the help of my girls, Sydney and Ellie. It's nice to have some bookcases that are actually for books. Only problem is that I already exceed the capacity. I'll make due until I can increase my collection of shelves for my increasing collection of books.

The motorcycles really set the tone :)

Yes, Drew. I'll start looking through your galleries and let you know.

Ariel, I love my motorcycle collection. When I got them out I realized just how long it had been since I had a comfortable office.
