Books for Sale or for Store?
I packed up most of my office yesterday and it reminded me of how much I hate storing and especially moving books. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE to read. But to be realistic, typically after I read a book, I don’t open it again. It…just…sits. Not only do they take up space, they also make you have higher rent or a higher house payment because of the extra square footage needed to store them.
So, I’m thinking about selling ALL of my books that I have read on Amazon and buying a Kindle or at least using the library for a change.
What do you think? Should a pastor keep all of his books? Do people think you have some sort of credibility because there are a bunch of books on a shelf?
Or can a “ditch the clutter” freak like me get rid of all his books and be just fine?
Books take up an awful lot of space, especially for something that you really only use for a few months and then store for years. I haven’t missed owning hard copies of albums on cd, tape, or vinyl. Why would I miss my books?
How can I justify my desire for compact, organized living when we have so many little rectangular objects taking up shelf/closet/floor space in my home?
I wish Amazon had a trade in program of some kind where you could send in all your books and get Kindle copies of them…

2 Carry or Not 2 Carry?
I’m just gonna be totally vain for a minute…
I got some new gear recently which means I am on the hunt for the perfect bag. Or bags.
I confess…I have an unhealthy bag fetish. I don’t buy or own a lot of bags…but anytime we are in a store with man-bags, I have to look at them. Currently I carry a small tactical bag, that I love. But my new laptop won’t fit in it.
This week, I went out and bought two bags. I couldn’t decide. I’m so stinking picky and indecisive. My options are:
1. Carry my khaki tacticle bag and the extremely slim laptop bag I found pictured below.
- Positive: both bags are super small, light, and comfortable. I can grab just the tactical bag if I don’t need my laptop. Slightly cheaper option, because I already own my tactical bag.
- Negative: not much room, but enough. Always have 2 bags. Not good for travel. Not as much protection.
2. Carry only the Hurley backpack that I found.
- Positive: its big. Lots of room. Only one bag. Good for travel. Good for workout clothes, etc.
- Negative: its big. I’ll carry way more junk than I need. If I want to go somewhere without the laptop I’ll have to unload it. No drink holder and I usually have a drink.
So my vain question: Should I carry two bags, or one? Really, I apologize.
