This is my 23rd blog post this month, which is a record for me, surpassing last April’s record of 21 posts. I know Jim West and Nick Norelli write that many posts in about two minutes, but it’s a lot for me (a first year PhD student and father of an uber-fussy four month old). I am honored to have not one, but two showings on James McGrath’s wildly entertaining (and comprehensive) biblical studies carnival for April. I am also honored by all of your visits! NT Wrong calculates my unique visits as 46th place on April’s Biblioblog Top 50, which I believe is my best ranking thus far. Thanks for stopping by!
I was probably spurred on my friend and UCLA colleague, Kevin Scull, who has made a distinguished entry into the biblioblogging world with his new blog, Paul of Tarsus: In Historical Context. Kevin also had two posts acknowledged on the carnival.
This April also marked my 29th birthday.
