~ Tony's Bookcase ~
When we first moved into Palmerston, I had unpacked the boxes in the bedroom while Tony had unpacked in the study. It made perfect sense; Tony's a minimalist, which means most of his clothes fit on a single mobile rack and a Tall Boy, while my clothes take up the entire built-in closet, and then some. Meanwhile, one of Tony's few pride and joys is his bookcase, and his 150 or so volumes.
The bookcase is one of a kind, in that it was handmade by a friend and is sturdy as a tree. (It also weighs like one.) He almost-ritually arranges his books in a certain order, with certain shelves designated for certain topics only. I sit facing this bookcase now and am slightly embarrassed by my meager contribution, content-wise. I am, nevertheless, proud of him in this insipid my-boyfriend-is-SO-smart way. Obviously, I've not outgrown this since we married.
We're now part of a small group in church that is undergoing an EYE (Energising Your Evangelism) project. In an effort to help a group member address some questions a non-believer has asked, Tony brought out a book from The Third Shelf. I read the book jacket and have decided to hijack it before turning it over to the small group. I've blogged some stuff from the book here, so go read if you're interested. It's turning out to be a pretty engrossing read. I have to set the timer on my new phone so I remember to cook lunch. (Excuses! Hah.)
But what I love the most, is our shared love of books... and our hunger for Christian apologetics. Gosh, I love the man. MUAH!
