What's on My Wall?

In the world of Facebook, a person has a "wall" that you can design to communicate with others. In my real world, I have an office that I have designed. I'm not much of a designer, in fact, one of the ladies on the Decorating Committee volunteered to help me...after I was done! It reminds me of a friend of mine in college who took pity on me as she watched me try to make a poster.

Actually, I like my office...because the things on my walls have tremendous meaning to me.

• A graduation picture of my son taken in an alley in Minneapolis by a dear friend of mine.
  
• A framed quote of Abraham Lincoln saying that he had been driven to his knees in prayer many times because he had nowhere else to go. Not only am I a Lincoln fan, but I can relate completely to how he felt.
• Three small quilts made by a cousin of my mother-in-law. They are beautiful pieces of art that depict the end of winter.
  
• A quote by Thoreau about why he moved to the woods. Living in the north country is an adventure in life itself.
• A framed pastor appreciation gift describing the role of a pastor.
• A picture of the BWCA...my favorite get-away place.
  

But the most important thing hanging on my wall is a map of the world. It's right above my desk and is a constant reminder of what it is all about: reaching the world with the gospel. I really believe we can do that from little old Nashwauk, Minnesota.
