Thanks to all who entered the contest for day 7 of Bible Geek Gone Wild’s 12 Days Before Christmas. The grand prize winner of volume 1 in the Tyndale Cornerstone Biblical Commentary series is Esteban Vasquez (voxstefani.blogspot.com). The 2nd runner up for the unique trinitarian explanation of his avatar is Nick Norelli (rdtwot.wordpress.com).
Shaun: You know how when Jesus was baptized the Father spoke from heaven as a dove descended upon him? Well, the can of soda (it’s a Pepsi even though you can’t see the label) is my baptismal water, the Father is speaking from the heavens although this can’t be captured in a picture, and the duck is the Holy Spirit.
By his explanation, it seems that the little man in the picture, who looks a lot like Nick, is representative of Jesus Christ. Hmmm. Very interesting. I’m going to have to ponder that one for awhile. As the 2nd place runner up, Nick’s prize is Judges Such A Great Salvation by Dale Ralph Davis. While this book wasn’t donated by a publisher, it did come from Bible Geek Gone Wild’s deep, dark vault of fabulous 2nd place runner up prizes. Again, thanks to all who particpated. The contest for day 8 will be posted shortly.

Cool! I didn’t even know there was a runner up prize.
WOOHOO! I WON SOMETHING!!!
There are so many people who have made this possible. First of all, I would like to than my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who loves me and doesn’t care if my rap lyrics are sexually-charged and misogynistic. Also, I would like to thank my Momma, who gave me life, thus making it possible at the most basic level for me to win. Shaun Tabatt, you the man, dawg! The lady who gave me this laptop computer before I moved — you rock. The innocent people with an unsecured wireless connection in my apartment complex, who made it possible for me to reply from the comfort of my own home — never change, and please don’t move, at least not until I find a new job. The…

Hey now! What’s that music! I’ve earned my right to thank people for as long as I want!

Congrats Esteban & Nick. Truthfully I hadn’t planned on there being a runner up prize, but I loved the explanation for your avatar so much, I just had to award a prize for it.
I guess the groveling actually does some good… Winning won’t diminish it though unfortunately because the groveling never ceases.
Nick if you don’t end up liking that one I’d be glad to eventually take it off your hands. (smiley would go here)
Congrats to you both. Esteban’s rap/hip hop musician acceptance speech was humorous, stereotypical and disturbing. I think Nick wrote it for him.

Shaun I’m sorry to hear about your grandmother and the stresses you and your family are going through. I pray that God will work in all of this as we know He will.

If I ever get famous, I may have to have Nick write my speeches too.
I assure one and all that my acceptance speech above was not written by Mr Norelli, but was solely the product of my wicked lucubrations.
I can vouch for Esteban on this one. Nick has had internet issues for the past few days. I hope he gets it fixed, so he can submit his favorite holiday recipe for today’s contest.

It would be a harsh day around the Norelli home if a new book didn’t grace his doorstep. We should all do our part to help Nick keep the momentum going. Word has it, that if he gets many more books in his house, he may need to have his home rezoned as a library.
