Vacation and All Sorts of News
Today is MLK Day, a holiday to observe a great man who believed for the equality of all people regardless of race, sex, or religion. He was truly a man of vision. Due to this official, State observance, I am off of work today and it couldn’t have come at a better time. I could sense my life once again bordering on busyness and that’s the last thing I wanted! Today allowed me to take a bit of time to myself, focus things, plan for the next few weeks, etc. It was great!
In other news, I’m now officially published. I have an ISBN and everything. I used a service called SafariU to build a textbook for a course I’m co-teaching over at NC State. The course focuses on Applied Web Development. Basically we’re teaching Computer Science majors how to program for a web environment and make cool things like Wordpress, the blogging engine I use to power my site.
In some other news I have to say that the Lord has been gracious to me in really putting things in perspective. He has shown me the realization that I have to stop thinking and planning for 2, 5, or 10 years down the road. Instead, I need to focus on today and now. Focusing and meditating on the Lord and how the next step I take can be used to glorify Him.
J,
May God continue to give you opportunities to slow down and honor Him in the present. Great to hear your thoughts…
Glad I found you blog…

So good to hear that you finally made time for yourself
I am glad that you have also taken the time to focus on the work the Lord is doing and the blessings for todayinstead of tomorrow 
it is nice to think about future things though…..I think that’s when it all catches up with us though…then He slaps us and puts us back on track..if ya know what I mean 
He is so gracious
