Part of the deal with me going full-time in the church was that the company Pastor Mike co-owns would provide me with an office from which to work during the week. We’ve never had offices at the church, and this one isn’t in the church either, since it’s in a business. However, I love the setup for a few reasons. First, I get to see Pastor Mike on a regular basis, so we can pray, chat, and generally be more connected than we were when he was full-time and I was part-time. Second, the business is in “downtown” West Carthage, right in the heart of the community we exist to serve. Missionally speaking, it’s a fantastic location to be in, because now we’re both able to be in the mix with local folks during the week.

Most of my first week full-time was spent getting my new office into a usable condition. Pastor Mike and I removed old furniture and files, painted, and then set things up. I purchased and installed a locking door handle, and also have brought a number of personal items and whatnot in. It’s spacious and usable.

However, it still seems bare. That’s where you, my faithful readers (all two of you), come in.

How should I decorate? What should I add? We have an idea for a possible wall-mounted shelf, but beyond that, what should I do?
