Just thinking ...
|
Organization? My mind is full of information, and I have little trouble finding it when I want it. My desk at school always looked like a mess, but (as I kept telling the principal), "Leave my piles alone! I know where everything is!"
But I'm up against a couple of organizational challenges right now that feel overwhelming. First, I'm trying to clear out my "children's room" (my old tutoring room, with all the children's books on shelves around the walls) so that I can fit in a gorgeous, aspen-log twin bed. It will be a wonderful haven—if I can only make space! My friend Karen Buschman is coming up next week to help out; I'm hoping she can get me through this.
Even more difficult is the project of writing up the history of Boulder Valley Christian Church. It's 48 years old, and the pastor has asked me to put together a historical record, as well as how God's hand has moved across the decades. My research leaves me with old photographs (many of them completely unlabeled), slides, photo albums, newsletters, records of business meetings, newspaper clippings, videotapes, recordings of conversations ... what do I do with it all? I mean, for one thing, I have to physically stack the stuff somewhere! Not to mention collating it into a semi-coherent document!
Oh, dear, oh, dear ... I'm feeling very white-rabbit-ish about the whole thing right now ... No time to say hello, goodbye ...
