Evidently Jim West has challenged bibliobloggers to take a screenshot of their desktop, post it on their blog, and drop him a note so that he can take a look. I have to HT Bryan Lilly on this one…
Without further ado, I present two desktops:
I tend to have artwork that I like on my [...]

Looking at various blogs’ sidebars recently, I was reminded of the Blog Readability Test that many of us took a year ago. Back then, I’d initially scored as a “Genius”, then later as “High School”…
Well, I’m pleased to say that He is Sufficient now scores on a Junior High School (that’s grades 6-8, ~12-14 [...]
James tagged me with the “123″ book meme. He says that I am “supposed to pick up the nearest book, turn to page 123, find the fifth sentence, and post the three sentences after that.”
Ironically, the closest book is in a stack that I haven’t given any attention to since I put them down by [...]
Thanks to Bryan and John, I discovered that “He is Sufficient” had made it onto N.T. Wrong’s list of active biblioblogs. Which is an honor in and of itself. However, I noted that I’d been categorized into the “Early Judaism” specialization - not sure how that happened, but I was willing to roll with it [...]
Just a quick note to apologize for spending more time doing blog design lately than actually blogging. I do have a couple of things in the hopper and hope to get those out shortly.
In the meantime, I’ve been playing around with the minimalistic Sandbox theme and creating various CSS designs. Nothing wild or outlandish, but [...]

A number of blogs and/or their authors have caught my attention lately and I wanted to give them a shout out here:
kataeuangelion — Stuart is a regular commenter on TC’s blog. I’d tell you what his blog title means, but I don’t read “squiggle”… that said, I recommend his series on the “truncated gospel”.
psalterium — [...]
NT Use of the OT — Test Your View!
Fuller Meaning, Single Goal view
You seem to be most closely aligned with the Fuller Meaning, Single Goal view, a view defended by Peter Enns in the book “Three Views on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament” (edited by Kenneth Berding and Jonathan [...]
One of the last memes that Peter Kirk passed along was “what type of pizza are you?” Now he’s back with another, this time a “Spiritual Types Test“. But while Peter scores as a Sage, I’ve come in as a Mystic:
You are a Mystic, known for your imaginative, intuitive spirituality. You value peace, harmony, and [...]
