About Tom

My name is Tom Clarke and I write about the alluring splendor of the Bible. My current project started in 2016, a verse-by-verse documentation of the textual organizations that appear throughout the Bible. These organizations give evidence that the Holy Spirit used consistent methods in the Bible's inspiration. This new methodology is called Pattern Analysis.

God blessed me with a mathematical mind which led me into computer software development for most of my professional career. On a softer side, I enjoy flowers very much which led to an evening/weekend job as the developer and caretaker of a one-acre prayer garden at a church in Syracuse, New York. I was born into the family of Christ in 1989 at a Billy Graham Crusade.

God has also blessed me with a beautiful woman named Mindy. She is an ardent believer in Yeshua (Jesus), the Messiah who was promised to the Jewish people and who will come again. We are engaged to be married in November, 2026. I will relocate to Philadelphia at that time. For me, it is a fresh start and a great opportunity to spread the word about loving our Lord with all our heart, mind, soul and strength, and loving one another. How can I love my Jesus even more? That is the passion of my heart, to somehow balance this analytical mind that God gave me with an intense passion for Him and others.

I have two adult daughters from my first marriage, Laurel and Becky, and two wonderful grandchildren from each. My second wife, Nancy, passed away in 2018 after years of limited mobility.

pickleball
I started playing pickleball in 2015. Like many senior citizens, I find it to be a vigorous game with a healthy emphasis on meeting and developing friends. I think it is the socialization while enjoying this sport that can make it distinctly different from many other competitive sports.

So how is the Lord leading my new journey? In fulfillment of God's commands to love the Lord and one another, I sense a distinct calling for both pattern analysis and pickleball. That is, if some people become convinced that the entire Bible is the Word of God because of pattern analysis, my love for Him is demonstrated. My passion for Him will also be shown when others catch how pattern analysis can deliver more meaningful understandings from Bible verses. And if the softer aspects of pickleball such as love and respect for others can be infused into some area players, then the command to love one another is also being fulfilled. May the Lord Jesus Christ be glorified in all this.
