I’ve been Wordled…

Jeff has challenged us to Wordle our blogs as a way of visually seeing what we write about. Essentially the Wordle Java application parses your text and creates an image of the words you use, with the more frequent words represented in a larger font size. So without further explanation, here is my blog’s Wordle [...]

My turn to say “I’m still here…”

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 [...]

Iyov, Marilyn Monroe and parental controls

As the parent of an increasingly computer-savvy and Internet-surfing four year old boy, it’s not unreasonable to put a few protective measures in place in case he clicks on something that we’d rather not have him see. So I was adjusting the parental controls of Zone Alarm this morning and found that I get the [...]

Meme: Translating Colossians 3:1-3

I was tagged by Bryan Lilly who was tagged by TC Robinson for a meme on translating Colossians 3:1-3. The rules are: Be contemporary Be idiomatic and free as possible Parsing is optional Here’s the original mess of squiggles Greek text: Εἰ οὖν συνηγέρθητε τῷ Χριστῷ, τὰ ἄνω ζητεῖτε, οὗ ὁ Χριστός ἐστιν ἐν δεξιᾷ [...]

Meme: what has God been teaching me?

I’ve been tagged by TC Robinson for a meme started by Roger Mugs. In an effort to keep it simple, short, and easy to follow, I’d like to challenge you to quote one verse (not one chapter). And then say what the Lord has been teaching you in one sentence (not one paragraph). Then tag [...]

Pardon the dust…

Well, we’ll try this out for a while and see how it goes. The theme is Vertigo Red by Brian Gardner, with some relatively minor page structure and CSS customizations by yours truly. A few things from the old site have been temporarily dropped, most noticeably the contact form, but I’ll be adding that back [...]

Calling WordPress theme junkies

As part of investigating moving from WordPress.com to a hosted installation of WP software, I’m exploring the suddenly much larger world of WP themes. There’s a lot to slog through out there, so I’m calling all WP theme junkies in Bible blogdom to comment on either what their favorite themes are or who their favorite [...]

A new blog in the mix

No, not one of mine. Perusing yesterday’s stats, I found an incoming link from a blog I didn’t recognize: Hanoch, or perhaps more accurately “Hanoch was not”. It looks like things are just getting started, but the blogger is posting on one of my favorite topics, Bible editions – including this post on “the perfect [...]

Monday musings

In addition to the previous two posts, I have a few more scattered thoughts to start the week, so I’ll just throw them into one post and follow up later if it warrants greater attention: Dave Cruver of To Tell You The Truth linked to my “most important verse” post on Bible translation as part [...]

  • Words wither and blogs fade away…

    Forgive me if you’ve heard this song before, but I've decided to stop blogging at He is Sufficient. I truly appreciate all of the wit, wisdom and words of faith that you have shared with me over the past few years. I wish you well in all of your endeavors, whatever they may be and wherever they may lead you. “God is sufficient for the needs of His people”. Amen!
