What's in a Name?

I've been thinking about names lately.

God tasked Adam with naming. Have you ever considered why?

That delegated authority has significance; consider how God spoke things into existence and how giving something a name likely influences the thing named, through whatever latent power exists in that delegated authority. Naming things is important.

God renamed people. Jesus renamed people. Does it seem consistent that naming our children is also important?

What is your name's meaning? How do you think it has influenced your life up to this point?


I Must Have Misheard.

Oh, I thought you said your church needed a war ship leader.

On Neglect

Hey there, mere cognition blog thing. It's mostly been a minute. A long while back, I was going to write as I went through the epistles.

God decided life needed to get weird again.

So the writing went by the wayside.

A lot has happened as I neglected you. There have been ups and downs and lefts and rights.

Somewhere along the way, I thought about the nature of being and God's design of us - how we propagate traits down family lines.

I thought about a lot of other things too.

Most of all, though, I thought about a jewel that is most precious to me. Not more precious than Christ, but close behind.

I think I shall make time to begin writing again. That jewel will need to know things at future times.
