Buddhanet has loads of Buddhist Educational material, as well as Sutras & Shastras which you should be studying if you want to be a monk. If you say that you don't have time, think again. I'm married with a daughter and a full time job and still manage to chant, meditate, & read Sutras and Shatras & go along once a week to our sangha.
Here are a few Sanghas in Florida, more can be found here:
