Jobs

So right now I'm sitting in the Mullet House in Tucson waiting for dinner and for the first Tuesday night bible study to start. I am currently unemployed and with not much hope of working this week. Still I am optimistic. I'm looking at a few jobs as a medical records clerk here in Tucson. Also if a position opens and Rain Gutters of Southern Arizona then they'll give me a call. I'm still looking for other stuff too. We're starting a bible study tonight that'll go through the summer on Hebrews. I'm looking forward to that. All in all this summer is shaping up to be a good one. Be back soon. Hopefully sooner than three weeks.

Side notes

Thanks for your great comments. Just because songs today aren't as deep as you want them to be doesn't mean they're not from the heart. Sure our society is becoming shallow but its still sincere worship right?

Also greatest president: Abraham Lincoln. Greatest president of the last 140 years: Reagan.

I can't really comment on the greatest writer thing because I'm not really that well read. For example on Steven's list I've read never read Foote, Wolfe, or Wilder, and the only one from Jane's list that I've read is Faulkner. But just so that you can all see, here are some of my favorite books (once again in no particular order):

1. Band of Brothers (Stephen Ambrose)
2. Jurassic Park (Michael Crichton)
3. Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (Douglas Adams)
4. The Return of the King (J.R.R. Tolkien)
5. The Screwtape Letters (C.S. Lewis)
6. The Empyrion Books (Stephen Lawhead)

I would put Lawhead's new book "Hood" but its still incomplete as the first book in a trilogy so I'm not puting it in yet. Also I know that Empyrion is two books but I read it as one book.

And there you have it. Also, three sweeps by Eastern Conference teams is pretty predictable. And why oh why do the Red Wings struggle so much in the playoffs? I went to Tigers Baseball games two Fridays in a row and both times Gary Sheffield choked in the ninth. I also wonder at the Lion's draft picks.

You have been reading Mark's random thoughts. Tune in next time for...something else.
