Everyone will be back to the University this weekend. It's kind of strange not to be going back, but I'm sure I'll adjust eventually. 8o) Lately I've been wondering about what the Lord's got planned for me in the future.
Right now, I'm getting ready for my new teaching job at the University. I'm changing the "Designing for the Web" course significantly. We'll be spending more time learning concepts of web design and user interface production than about HTML and Dreamweaver. Hopefully that will help the students more in the future.
BTW, I'm recruiting people for a new web site I'd like to start. It would be for Americans who want to move to another country for an extended period of time. If you're interested in that sort of thing and would like to help, let me know ([email protected]).
Life doesn't ever stop. Maybe that's been obvious to everyone else, but it just now seems to be sinking in for me. School's starting again. This year that means preparing to teach, getting ready for plays, balancing freelance opportunities with personal life, and still trying to catch up with some of my larger dreams. The only thing I can figure is that one just has to keep moving.
Ecclesiasties says that "All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing." Life never stops.
Well, that's where I'm at. Amazed at how much there is to be done, and stunned by how little time there is to do it.
I know that all of you are busy as well. I would like to hear from all of you. If any of you are interested in having a blog like this to keep "everyone" up to date on what you're doing, please send me an e-mail ([email protected]).
Let's be in prayer for each other over these next few weeks as I know most of us are getting ready for school and readjusting or adjusting to the school year.
Keep the faith.
I've been back from the U.K. for over two weeks now, and I'm just now finding time to update BensFriends.com. I apologize for the delay.
Things are going well here. I'm working 40 hours a week at Web Tech, and doing freelance on the side. Last week I taught a class for New Beginnings called "Getting Your School on the Internet." Outside of my teaching too quickly I think it went well.
My room is still in chaos, but I'm digging through it slowly. I'm doing my best to optimize my assets, but I can't seem to find the time. 8o) It's a vicious cycle.
Now that I'm back, I'd like to see who's interested in having thier own blog on BensFriends.com. I hope to expand the site this year to add discussion boards and perhaps an on-line private address book for all of us.
If you're interested in having your own blog, please let me know ([email protected]).
