Study Room Set Up (2)

It is done! My study room set up is complete. All my books are put into book shelves. The first time in 14 years that I managed to accomplish such a feat. I would have done it earlier during the beginning of the MCO, but then my laptop broke down. I put on hold my purchase of book shelves thinking that I needed money to repair or buy a new computer. I did buy a new laptop, a Surface laptop first generation with only 4GB and 128GB. Half of the memory is gone to download Windows 10 Pro but I am enjoying many new features in the Office suite apps. One thing I liked is the design suggestions for power-point slides. I am mighty pleased that my study room is finally set up. I just have a few boxes of photocopy of notes and journal articles from my time at Otago University. It's been exactly 20 years ago but I am keeping them since I am beginning to write on the book of Revelation.
Articles from 20 years ago could still prove useful. My book is entering its 15th year in publication. Only now I found out that recent publications (2019-2020) engaged with it. I have lost count of the number of PhD theses that cited and interacted with my book. Some recent commentaries (P. Leithart & C. Koester) referred to my book. What I learned is that some things take time to mature, just like the growth of a Christian and our understanding of Scripture. Now that my study room is set up, I am all ready to put in the hard work of research and writing. But ironically, I just informed my leaders that I am returning to my church office beginning next week. 98% of my books are at home, so in my office I won't have any references to rely on, but I thought it important that I took a symbolic step to reopen the church office in the hope that church services will commence soon thereafter.
