As someone with 5 kids, ambitious freelance projects (I tend to underestimate time-wise (working on this!) for on freelance projects, as I’m used to estimating given a 40 hour/job, which I of course can’t do while freelancing with kids and a full-time job.) in a short amount of time (by trying to not cut on time with God, family time, and–of course–not reducing or during my full-time work), work at times feels like a vacation. A working vacation, but still a slower pace.
That’s most likely a sign that I need to use my personal “Sabbath” time more intentionally. I don’t do it in a legalistic way, but I usually don’t work from Friday nights through Saturday to stop from the grind and focus on God. It forces me to stop, which I need sometimes.
I try to work hard (and smart), but if there’s no break and you have the constant “buzz” of life and work burning in your mind even while you’re not “working,” are you resting? Probably not, at least not for me.
Even God rested on the seventh day, not because He needed to, but to show us an example for how to do work in our lives.
I recently came across the site Bearing Drift, a Virginia conservative site. Unlike the clickbaity and sensational sites I’ve seen this is actually good! Though I don’t consider myself conservative.
They acknowledge and cover unjustified shooting issues, and abortion issues, too:
…but is this a fight worth fighting? The argument is simple: every human being has the basic right to exist. No amount of social justice or government programs, no amount of job creation or education reform is worth a damn unless we defend and define the right to exist for every Virginian.
I was trying to pipe JSON data into node.js as an object. I came across an answer on StackOverflow, which was about something else, but led me in the right direction.
I was able to do it via cat and node using the following command:
cat ./example.json | node <<< "var o = $(cat); console.log(o);"
Worked like a charm.
First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
