Biblioblog Top 50 for June
Just a quick note to say “thank you” to everyone who continues to stop by — you managed to generate enough traffic in June to keep me in the Biblioblog Top 50 for the third straight month since my quasi return, albeit just hanging on in the last spot this month, though I note with [...]

Five books on the Bible meme
Having been MIA when this meme originally made the rounds, I’ll thank John at Ancient Hebrew Poetry for including me on a “who’s still missing” list. The meme asks that we “name the five books (or scholars) that had the most immediate and lasting influence on how you read the Bible. Note that these need [...]

After a self-imposed hiatus of several months, I attempted a brief return last [...]

And the band played on…
Just a quick note to confirm that I will be taking a break from blogging for a while. Don’t know if or when I’ll be back, but I’ll leave the lights on for now…

Born in the shadow of the [...]

Without further ado, I present two desktops:
I tend to have artwork that I like on my [...]

Yes!
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 [...]

The “123″ book meme
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 [...]
