Today I began the process of cleaning out the old stuff. It is amazing how much “stuff” one can accumulate in such a short period of time. I have been here for less than three years but I have amased a lifetimes worth of stuff.
So I started by going through the files. It’s funny that I saved the stuff that I did. When in seminary I had this view that the notes that I took in class would be nugetts of wisdom ala Thomas Merton. I saved all of my notes in order to refer back to them when theological questions came up in the parish. Today was the first day I looked at most of that “stuff” since I placed it in the file cabinet. It is kind of nice to look at the pile that will make its way to the recycle place and out of here.
So that’s one room, only three more to go!
