Addendum – November 16, 2013

Many have tried to decipher this blog post and have asked for the decoded version.  My friend Doug finally convinced me to release it.  Here is the process used to encode it and the translation.

Each 8 digit group is a reference to a word in the Bible .... book #, chapter #, verse #, word #.  Therefore each 8 digit sequence points to a single word.  While any given word may appear more than once in the decoded message, each word usage is from a different point in the Bible to prevent patterns from being discerned.

If I remember correctly, I used the NIV Bible at the time (although I may be wrong).

Therefore the blog reads as follows:

With apologies to my daily readers, I offer the following musing and warning directly to my crypto network.

As a wise person once said:

The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush. It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment. - Robert Maynard Hutchins

And there lies the call for all of us to do better because we must.
