Rain and Books

Our fiscal year ended on September 30.  Since we have had a couple of weeks of rainy weather, I have been doing bookwork to close the year.  I remember again why I am not an accountant.  This year we are using a new computer program for our recordkeeping, so that has made some of the work easier.  But it has made some of the work more complicated also.  I do think I have everything pretty well wrapped up now.  Unless the FBFM field man or our accountant have questions.

When daughter #1 was here this past week to get the rest of her stuff out of our attic, it motivated me to go through the old books I have up there and our other bookshelves to see if I could weed out any books.  It has been painful, but so far I have 136 books boxed up and ready for Goodwill.  Unfortunately (actually not), that is just a small fraction of the total books still in the house.  Even after our two oldest left the house and moved their books out, we probably still have a couple thousand left!

No man can be called friendless who has God and the companionship of good books. ~Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Far more seemly were it for thee to have thy study full of books, than thy purse full of money. ~John Lyly

No person who can read is ever successful at cleaning out an attic. ~Ann Landers

I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves. ~Anna Quindlen

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
John 21:25
