Humble

It is one thing to be good, but quite another to be humble.

Update

wow, just had one of the most stressful weeks EVER. IT is top of the list when it comes to stressful professions (says a recent survey). I find I get the most job satisfaction from the scripting I do to make my job and the jobs of others easier.

Went climbing in Mechanicsburg Wednesday night and swimming the night before. Climbing is always a great time, especially with friends from school. I want to learn how to lead climb. Redpoint - to complete a lead climb without falling or resting on the rope.

Good things do happen, my thyroid levels are returning to normal. (previous level 0.17, current level 0.33, acceptable range 0.40 - 0.50) My mind races when I think about the things coming up. I already feel I need more time. I need to change.

Cinco de Mayo

Today I celebrate my 23rd with my Mexican-American brothers and sisters. So much to be thankful for this past year.

GPS

I’ve become completely lost in my search for the Holy Grail of GPS navigation devices. Reading review after review of different products on the market I’ve yet to settle on one I like. All my research has led me to believe that products that are on the market now are still very first-generation which are peppered with shortcomings in technology, usability, and features. I’ve been pretty out dated on my tech toy knowledge and I find myself struggling to get caught up.

Do I go for a multi-function device? (PDA/GPS combo)
Do I get a high-end PDA and add GPS via Bluetooth and software?
Do I get a dedicated device just for my car?

to be continued ……

Grace

This speaks to me.

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in his wonderful face, and the things of earth will go strangely dim in light of his glory and grace.”
