Biblioblogging Carnival is Coming! But it’s slow.

Hello all your avid fans of the monthly bibliobloggers Carnival! I’m compiling a big list of posts but the going is slow. I haven’t had that many recommendations from other readers via email (send yours to happilyunchurched [at] gmail.com) but I have been going to the fantastic Biblioblog Reference Library and finding a LOT of interesting stuff but that is pretty slow, too. Did you know that there are FOUR HUNDRED pages of archived blog posts for April alone?  It takes almost an hour to go through a single day’s listings and even more if one finds a number of worthy posts!

So, with the conference going on this weekend (and the fact that my marking isn’t done yet, either) the Carnival might be a little late. Sorry about that, but that’s the way the feathers fly. Hope you’re not too mad at me.  James McGrath (pictured below) is already getting his carnival outfit together. He just needs the feathers:

I blame for all my work piling up on Scott Bailey, since he is the only biblioblogger who is coming to our conference. He  hails from the nice part of biblioblogging-land. Here is his garage:

So does Joel Watts, the  biblical literalist, who, unable to fill his prescription at Scott’s place, had to go shopping.

Mike Kok, now at Sheffield, also presented at our conference one year. Here is a photo of him delivering his paper, entitled “The search for the historical Jesus in Mark’s Gospel. He’s got to be in here somewhere, darn it!” That’s Neil Godfrey making an astute comment.

Anyway, I will get the Carnival loaded as soon as I can.
