Tuesday, July 14th, The thinker

Today, I cleaned our bedroom really well. This meant washing the window, the curtains, vacuuming walls, and moving furniture. Every time I clean our room, I marvel at the amount of stuff Chuck has on his bedside table.
The top:
Several pens
A highlighter
His reading Glasses
A Hankie
Candy
Something to drink, usually soda or water
A light
The drawer:
Mementos from the girls and I over the years
The bottom:
Alarm clock/radio
A notepad
Church directory
Many books presently including:
The Evangelical Dictionary to Theology
St. Augustine's confessions
New Testament: Greek intralinear Translation
Two Bibles: NIV and New Living Translation
The Complete works of Sherlock Holmes, Volume II

So, I hope that dispels the notion that Civil Servants are big dumb oafs. Chuck is probably the most well read person I know. He probably listens to 3-4 books a month on his Zune and is reading 1-2 books at a time. I wish I could keep up with him!!!
