Of all the things I could be writing about, I decided I should ‘fess up to the state of my desk.  This may clear up why I don’t write more than I do.  Currently, on my desk are the following: lamp, printer, a set of computer speakers that are hooked up to nothing, an external hard drive, a modem, (nothing surprising so far, just wait), a three-hole punch, a stapler, a box of picture frames, turbotax software, our tax folder, Will’s OT folder, 9 tests that need to be graded, 4 60cc syringes, a book about podcasting and blogging, the following books: Searching for God Knows What (kind of a commentary on my desk itself), A Perfect Mess (definitely a commentary on my desk!), Story by Robert McKee, Out of Egypt, Offering the Gospel to Children, Blue Like Jazz (gift wrapped in Christmas paper… Happy St. Patrick’s Day?), The Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible, my thinline NIV, and I think that’s all I can see right now for books.  I also have some manilla envelopes, two composition books that are half full each, Bible study questions, several envelopes of photographs, an  unframed wedding photo (that’s of my wedding in 1995), the results of some medical testing on Will, a black frame, a valentine (still undelivered to one of Aaron’s friends, again Happy St. Patrick’s Day!), a framed family photo (sans Levi), part of a book manuscript I’m reading, a few blank CDs, an empty camera case, a catheter, a lot of insurance and medical bill related invoices and paperwork, a pencil cup, some heart stickers, a 70s school picture of a friend (blackmail item), and a greeting card file box.  Oh yeah, and my computer!  I’ll see if I can include a photo.  Maybe that blog book will tell me how.  It’s my goal to set the bar low so that everyone else walks away feeling better about their own ability to do life in the midst of chaos. Hope your desk is neater than mine.
