New (hand-me-down) desk

Here is my husband's old desk that was in his brother's room for a while that is now replacing my broken one. Note the duct tape on the keyboard tray. It's a lot more fancy than my old desk, though. Look how many CDs I can store! I used to only have that little CD holder that you see on the left side of the desk. And look at all the storage nooks! I just love organization. My husband would laugh if he heard me say that, but it's true. I'm a messy person who loves organization. Strange, I know.

At church this morning they sang the song that I mentioned a couple entries ago. (A Heart That Burns For You) If this was Live Journal, I would post all of the lyrics under an LJ-cut. Since it isn't, I'll just post a selection.


You found me on the road that leads to nowhere
You opened up my eyes to see the truth
You offered me the bread of sweet communion
You've given me a heart that burns for you

Within my heart
You started a fire
Down in my heart
A strong desire
That burns for you

The Living Room / Come Reason

Tonight's Bible study at The Living Room was really good. The teaching was great, as usual, plus Steve Wiggins played some new songs for us. The one that stood out to me the most is called "A Heart That Burns For You." It's a really gorgeous song and I can't wait until I can have it for my ipod. Steve says they're going to play it at church next week, so I'm looking forward to that.

I think that's pretty much all that happened today. I did more job hunting but didn't get much of anywhere. Yesterday I ended up going to Come Reason after all because my dad's online class was cancelled for the week. I ended up getting two free CDs, so I'm extra glad I was able to go. The subject was the resurrection as a fact of history. One of the CDs I got was from last year when he taught on the same subject, so I'll be able to go back over it and take more detailed notes.

In case you're curious, one of the things he talked about were known historical facts surrounding the resurrection and how they are evidence that Jesus really rose from the dead. The five points that he talked about that are agreed upon by most scholars, Christian or not, are these:

1. Jesus died by crucifixion
2. Jesus was buried
3. Jesus' tomb was discovered empty a few days later
4. The disciples all truly believed that they saw the risen Jesus
5. The skeptics James and Paul were suddenly converted after they claimed to have seen the risen Jesus, and they were both so sure of it that they died for their belief.

Lenny recommended a book that talks about these points called The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus by Gary Habermas.

Sticky Songs / Unemployment Woes

I was listening to Big Tent Revival yesterday morning, and for the whole rest of the day I had What Would Jesus Do? stuck in my head. Today, randomly, I have Star in the Book of Life stuck in my head. Songs don't normally glue themselves to my brain, so this is very unusual.

I lost my job last Monday, and I've been scrambling to try to find a new one. Today I called back all the places I applied to, but nobody could tell me anything concrete except for the places that aren't actually hiring right now. It doesn't help that I can't drive yet and I'm limited to the places that are within biking distance.
