CBA or Christian Booksellers Association is a trade association for retailers for Christian products–books, music, gifts. CBA hired my dad in 1986, which brought our family to Colorado Springs from Georgia. He was the membership director there until we moved to Mobile in 1990 for his job at Integrity Music. I’ve been checking the websites of different companies and organizations here, especially ones that employ people I knew. CBA had one position open, an administrative assistant for the Communications & Marketing Department. Dad was leaving the very next day for a three-month stay in Singapore, but after a flurry of phone calls, I got a message from HR telling me to hurry and send my resume in because they were in the last stages of filling the position. Dad said that I would be working for the guy who replaced the guy (a good friend of the family who just moved to Pheonix last year) who replaced my dad.

Actual Fact: In 1992, roadside posters of Cindy Crawford had to be removed in Norway when authorities noticed a 300% increase in the accident rate as motorists were distracted by them

    If you get the job, tell them I want an NASB in single column format with crossreferences and no ‘study notes’ and a concordance in the back, ok? I have been looking for such a thing for about 10 years. I am not picky, but for the life of me I can’t figure out why 99% of Bibles have two columns of text, or they have a single column but half the page is taken up with commentary that either distracts, detracts or just is silly. Whew. Glad I got that out. I can go to bed now.

    Heh. I’m not sure a trade orgnization has the kind of clout to order a Bible made to certain specifications. However, it appears Zondervan makes something like that http://lockman.gospelcom.net/catpics/0310921864gb.jpg
