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:

The careful observer will note that this blog has a new web home - after a year and a half of residence at “heissufficient.net“, I’ve been able to secure “heissufficient.com” for immediate use!

So without further explanation, here is my blog’s Wordle (created [...]
Seems in vogue these days to post about why we’re not posting much… I’ve been on “vacation” this past week from work and while it might seem that would give me lots of time to blog, my real time has been consumed by repainting a bathroom (which required taking everything out and then putting it [...]

So I was adjusting the parental controls of Zone Alarm this morning and found that I get the [...]
I was tagged by Bryan Lilly who was tagged by TC Robinson for a meme on translating Colossians 3:1-3. The rules are:

Here’s the original mess of squiggles Greek text:
Εἰ οὖν συνηγέρθητε τῷ Χριστῷ, τὰ ἄνω ζητεῖτε, οὗ ὁ Χριστός ἐστιν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ θεοῦ καθήμενος· τὰ ἄνω [...]
