Cleaning the office is a bore!

My office has become a ministry escrow center, in other words everything is on the floor waiting to be used or has been but needs put up. It is like this every Tuesday! I take Mondays off but in my imagination that is when the escrow gnomes enter, vandalize, post on pinterest (Messy office selfie).  I don’t understand minimalists and the highly organized. I feel as though I run from one thing to the other many weeks with just enough time to grab the colorful basketball, hidden beneath a pile of Operation Christmas Child boxes, dig out a pen and run for the next Item.

My OCD pals, where do you find all this time to organize, and when you need something how do you locate it? Are you gps-ing every mission critical thing in your office?

When I first got out of college I though youth ministry could drive on me, a Bible and, the power of my personality. First thing God revealed is that my personality could not drive a Yugo (Shout out to the over 40 crowd). As for just a Bible, try reading the Gospel of John with no context to a room full of teen agers “’In the beginning was the word’, how does that make you feel?” (Insert blank stares and texting teens here). Now I know that Youth ministry requires several storage areas full of just in case, or maybe the next guy will want it materials.

In the mean time I am going to do a monthly office clean, it will look good for about 20 minutes until I need something, but I will post a picture of that soon.
