Gone in a Flash
The pastor’s study here at the church is beginning to look a little bare. The books are off the shelves and into cartons ready to be taken to a new place. The desk and file drawers are empty and pictures have come down from the walls. The children’s art from the gallery just outside the door has been carefully stowed and will be a precious reminder of one of the very good things about being pastor at Park.
I’m leaving with fewer packed boxes than when I arrived in June of 1998. I’ve culled some old books from my library, but mostly the fewer boxes are the result of fewer files and folders. In fact, copies of all the sermons preached, all the classes taught, all the meetings moderated and mission trips organized; every ABC booklet published and funeral planned are stored on a single flash drive.
