To: Othniel
Very funny. BTW, what's the origin of your name? I ran a google on Othniel Askew and the name Othniel seemed to have a following. This is a serious question. ;)

To: Havisham; Othniel
As to the name Othniel: Othniel was the first of the "judges," the deliverers whom the Lord raised up for Israel in their early years in the land, the time between Joshua and the kings. You can read about Othniel in Judges 3:7-11.

Now this fellow yesterday, his full name was Othniel Boaz Askew. The name Boaz comes from this same time period in Israel's history. Boaz was the husband of Ruth and the great-grandfather of David. You can read about Boaz, obviously, in the Book of Ruth.
