This is my personal blog. It records notes from whatever I am currently studying, words I want to remember to use correctly, records of other things I want to remember, or an opinion I want to think my way through. Sometimes I publish short stories here. As to who I am, let it suffice to know I am a grandchild (with Madeliene L’Engle) of George MacDonald, a child of the Inklings, and the one who always wonders, “What is behind that wardrobe cabinet?” And, I’m one of the proofreaders/editors for Project Gutenberg, so, yes, I might be the one to blame for missing that wrong letter inserted by our optical character recognition. On the other hand, I may have been the editor who caught all the ones you didn’t find. And, I also have a personal journal online. It holds my innermost thoughts, is occasionally highly personal and opinionated, but is never really interesting.

Habakkuk 1:12-2:1 Habakkuk’s reply to God is so very human and also very contemporary. He essentially says, “It’s all a matter of comparative wickedness.” It’s all relative. The Babylonians are far more wicked than the wickedness Habakkuk sees around him … Continue reading
Babylon on Your Wrist and Wall
The base-ten number system we use has not been used by many cultures around the world. Some use base-five because of the number of fingers on a hand. The Babylonians, experts at mathematics, used base-sixty because 60 was conveniently divisible … Continue reading
