library woes

So, for the one or two (more?) people who remember me from waaaay back in college, you may recall that I seldom studied. This is the truth of it. I simply did not do it often. It was not that I did well without the studying, I just always found a happy distraction. This meant that I may have ventured into the library a dozen times in the 4 years I was there.

Well, let me tell you that seminary is a different beast. I am oft in the library! I have my own carrel with orange lights hanging in the window. It is a lovely place with musty books and a wireless network. I love it here.

But there is a dark side to the library...fines. Yes. That and the Case of the Mysterious Missing Book! Killian McDonnell's book John Calvin, the church and the eucharist has gone missing. It has been a while at that. Fines. So, to check out more books I needed to settle up with the librarians, those godly women of the sacred microfilm. I have settled up and am, with the cost of the book, $70 poorer. That is actually quite the break. There are some thigs they simply forgave. Repentance has its virtue.

I, this library sinner, repent of my tardiness! And, if anyone sees McDonnell's book a'wanderin' about, please send it my way.

I guess I'm one of the two, and I honestly can't remember if I ever actually saw you study, so I'll take your word for it.
Geez -- that was a looong time ago.
