I got home from work last night and dove in to help my wife with packing up boxes. As you might imagine, as historian and seminary graduate, I have quite a number of books. Well suffice to say, my work is cut out for me. I did manage to pack up two book shelves (only three shelves each) and used a total of eight boxes. I have two more full shelves that are the same size and another three full bookcases upstairs. I guess my weekend is planned out for me.
Work is also moving along well. I am hoping to gain full-time employment. I currently work as the manager of a church facility and at a bookshop (a dangerous prospect for a man with limited income and a fascination with books). Both are part time and neither has benefits. Perhaps I should look into working at Starbucks. From what I understand, they provide benefits for employees that work 20 or more hours a week, which would fit my schedule.
On other fronts, I have been asked by the men in my church to lead another tour of the Gettysburg battlefield. Since our church's men's retreat is hosted near the battlefield, during out freetime, I give the guys a tour of the battlefield park. It goes much too fast as our time is always limited. But this time we would be able to take all day some Saturday and actually get to walk around the sites. If you have not been there, even if you are not interested in history, you should take a look. Gettysburg National Military Park is a powerful place. Check it out.
