I have been working on chronologies of the Old Testament recently – which is turning into both an exceptionally enlightening project, and a complicated one!

It’s been several years in the making, and will be a continually-added-to tool (I hope!), but I am finally nearing the releasability of a Bible study cross-referencing tool to see what books on your shelf (or on Amazon’s ;)) cover a passage you are interested in learning more about for personal, group, or church settings. …

57 and 38
Today was my aunt’s birthday. If she were still here, she would be 57. Just under two years ago, she passed away. I know she’s in a much better place now, but it doesn’t make it hurt any less that she’s not here any more. In 38 days, I will be marrying the most amazing …

Wolf2 reprogressing
As is often the case with a first attempt, improvements need to be made. My Wolf1 (reference) one-way hashing algorithm, while operational, does not avalanche as well as it should: one-bit changes to the source being hashed are not creating vastly different outcomes. I’m reworking the Wolf1 process into a new version, and will post …

Why was Sodom punished?
I came across this post by Dan Edelen yesterday, and want to share it with you. How quick we are to presume we know the whole story! I never noticed the passage in Ezekiel before, either! How many of the things in that list – arrogance, gluttony, apathy, uncaringness/unlovingness, haughtiness – are you and I …
