A month off?

Well, classes are over until September. I've got about a month off...from formal classes, that is.

I'm about to cram as much into one month as anyone should ever attempt. This weekend, it's our only camping trip of the year. Next weekend, it's the Rolling Family Reunion. The weekend after that...I don't remember, but I'm pretty sure something is planned. The weekend after that, Jadyn turns a year old. Can you believe that?

And in the middle of all that, I need to study for and pass my Cisco Certified Networking Associate certification. This is an entry-level IT certification offered by what is arguably the most important networking company in the world. (I know, Scott, I know...Extreme and Foundry both make very nice gear, also, and it may even be technologically better than Cisco. You just can't argue that Cisco holds the market in major networking infrastructure world-wide)

So I'm about to sit down with routers and firewalls and switches, oh my! I thought I might like to actually get some rest this month, but there will be no time for that. Recently I bought an mp4 of "4 Hz Theta Ocean Waves" off iTunes. It's supposed to help you relax. I'll be putting that on my iPod and listening to it while I sleep.

Oh, and at risk of forgetting my other recent interest, my dear friend and Brother in Christ, Jon Zens recently had his book "A Church Building Every 1/2 Mile" released. It is really a fantastic book, and I highly recommend it to anyone who feels like they want to know Jesus Christ more but feel that "churches" leave them wanting. This book gives great perspective and insight into what I think Jesus had in mind when he established His church. I highly recommend it to anyone.
