Earlier this week I was at the Princeton Seminary Library. Although I was never a student, this has become a special place for me. I served at a church for 5+ years in the Philly suburbs and Princeton was about 20 miles away. Because my wife and I had different days off and I had a need to get out of the house, I’d spend the day at the library and at Small World Coffee. I later resigned that church and took a break in ministry to focus on finding a position that would be a better fit and a time of healing and renewal. (Don’t read that assuming that I was not pursuing God’s will, but you’d have to know me to understand how I use that type of language but I digress). As I was looking for our next ministry, I spent even more time at PTS library. I especially loved the periodical room and all the various places to study. Between its size and not being a student there and therefore not knowing anyone, I ended up reading a lot.
Not an exciting post but it was a good day for me to be back there. These days I use the Starbucks, Borders, and the libraries at Nyack Bible College and at Alliance Seminary. It’s not the same but it’s different season and it’s been a good one.
