Guest Editors -

This publication would not be possible without the generosity, wit and fellowship of folks all over the world. The Editor sends a big "Than You" to those who have contributed their time and talent to this site. Here you will find references to their outstanding work  Way Cool. Great work!

FiveDoves.com & Tng:

Dave Camp: has perfected his JS Calendar. It's fabulous. You can do comparative viewing of four different calendar systems used down through the ages.

Not to be outdone (by himself) Dave has also created a factoring script with extensive instructions. It is all in the numbers...

The Heart of a Programmer
One of the members of the editor's study group re-posted an article from Russia comparing programming to the practicing of faith. This article made the editor's heart sing. To all fellow believing puter Geeks:
The Heart of a Programmer ]

S.Schlissel.:
This study of the brief mention of the thief Barabbas in the Gospels of Luke and John is expanded by Steve Schilssel to teach the lessons of humility and gratitude. This outstanding study is not for the faint of heart.
Reserved for the courageous and intellectually honest.
Gospel of Barabbas ]

Davy & Goliath
When the Editor was a child, church was forbidden. The Editor's church on Sunday morning was the clay-mation series;
"Davy & Goliath" produced by the Lutheran Church.
Our study-buddy P.J. found the link to the series on video for us.
Once again,
Davy & Goliath - THX P.J.! ]
To quote both Camp and R.A.;
"But wait, it gets better!"

Visit our newest guest contributor R. A. and his extensive study on the Wheels within Wheels of the most astonishing book ever written!
Updates: Because this study is a 'circular' study, you could start anywhere. However, in visiting this site many times, the editor chose to start with
231 Gates of Sepher Yetzirah ]
The reason is the foundation of this particular wheel makes Golgotha, or the site of the sacrifice of the perfect Lamb of G*d the hub from which all scriptural spokes extend.
To quote the Web Master and author:
Twenty-two Foundation letters: He placed them in a circle like a wall with 231 gates. The Circle oscillates back and forth. A sign for this is: There is nothing in good higher than Delight (Oneg); There is nothing in evil lower than Plague (Nega);

Sepher Yetzirah 2.2

The Sepher Yetzirah, (Book of Creation) refers to the lines connecting each pair of Hebrew letters as gates. Rabbinic tradition teaches that systematic meditation upon the various combinations will open the mind to the mysteries of God. In the context of the Wheel, we can see that such mediation will lead to insight into the meaning of each letter, hence the meaning of each Spoke, and from there, we will gain insight into the meaning of the Word of God, and so come to know a little more of God himself, who is the greatest mystery of all.
P.S. Don't let the huge 'spirograph' intimidate you. It's really beautiful all by itself. :)
