WORD COLLECTING |
 |
 |
Throughout much of my adult life, I prided myself on not being a collector of stuff. During my move to Guilford I was duly humbled to discover that this self-appraisal was askew. Indeed, I had accumulated multiple lifetimes of stuff! The most difficult stuff to manage has been my word collections. Ministers are always collecting words. So as not to miss great words that might come along, we carry small pads that we pull out in the middle of someone’s talking and scribble down notes and quotes. We don’t really have a system for filing these notes – they float around in our briefcases, jacket pockets, cars, pocketbooks. Some of them never leave the notepad itself; eventually the pad gets filled up and put somewhere “for the time being” (which is where it stays for a long time being).
