The Library

Last week I spent two evenings at a local Bible college/seminary library doing research for a class I'll be teaching in about a month. I loved, loved, loved being there! I know it's a little nerdy, but I loved it. When you walk into an academic library there is just something very different than a public one. There is a smell; a feel. I walked around the library stacks using the Dewey Decimal system to locate a pile of books before sitting down at a table to begin going through them deciding what I wanted to use. I drank it all in. The best part of the night was the continued confirmation that this is what I was created for. I was doing research and getting more and more excited to teach about all that I was learning. I wanted to have someone there with me right then to tell it all to. I pray you are finding what it is that brings you joy; what you were created to do...

I sometimes feel like there are two libraries in one building. One is full of fascinating facts that I can't wait to discover and share with others. The other is a torture chamber in which my soul is slowly sucked away by boredom.

Glad you found the first one.
