The Art of Simplifying

Our church will be undergoing reno work to extend the auditorium soon. The decision is good one since we can then sit more people during worship. But hoh with floor space remaining constant, we need to play musical chairs ;-) Pastor will have to move his office from Room A to Room B. So existing things in Room B will have to move to Room C. Which means that exisiting things in Room C will have to move....where to move huh? And to complicate matters, Room B is bigger than Room C, how to fit all the things in?

Challenges of such magnitude can only be met by people subscribing to the philosopy that less is better. This automatically cancels most males ;-) But we still need them in the equation lah. MANpower (from Youth and YA) was needed to empty Room B and to carry the contents downstairs to ah, all over the place outside Room C. Then, BK, Mrs K and myself waded through the sea of clutter with a trash bag to simply simplify matters.


To cut the long story short (in order to keep to the spirit of simplification, if there is such a word), the above picture is the fruit of our labour this afternoon. Here you see mrbiscuit totally exhausted from carting the things we threw out. Actually, there were 2 other cabinets that we threw out but brought back after checking with pastor. mrbiscuit literally had to sprint out to stop our next door neighbours from carting it back to their place, they brought out their trolley ok, lol. (Those of you from my church, it's the neighbours on our right, wahahahaha).

So pastor, if you're reading this, the rescued cabinets are right in front of your office now, and Room B is of course ready for your next move ;-)
