1 Year and $1.10 Later

Last year, while unemployed, I got the bright idea that I was going to be a freelance writer. Well, that never really panned out for me, partially because I am not driven and partially because I get distracted easily. Then came a new job opportunity, then a move, and I completely forgot about the whole freelance writing attempt.

And here I am,one year later, gainfully employed, and $1.10 richer thanks to Google Adsense. I still enjoy writing so I thought I would give this thing another shot. Who knows, now that I actually have a job, I might have something to write about besides publishing old papers from college (although I think I still have a few more of those).

Here is a little update on me and what my future articles will be about.

I am still a Christian who is trying to delve daily into a deeper, more intimate relationship with God; for me this process goes much more smoothly when I take time to reflect on (and sometimes write about) my daily interaction with the creator. I am married (for two years now) to my favorite person on earth, and this relationship has helped me more than any other become the man God needs me to be. Also, I teach seventh grade Language Arts and Reading at a middle school in Nashville. Although the students drive me crazy at time, I know that God is shaping me through this job. I love reading and hopefully will be writing some book reviews for you (and my students). And sometimes, I am just random so you never know what you're going to get.

All of these things somehow intertwine in my day to day life, and that's mostly what I will be writing about. The writing is mostly for me, but hopefully you can benefit from it, too.
