Last year, a very good friend of mine sent me a book about the names of God. I read about one of His names each week and have been greatly encouraged by it. It mostly covers Old Testament names. The author has written another book with the names of Jesus. I have enjoyed thinking about the names of God and therefore different aspects of His personality. I have made a 'Wordle' here of those names in their Hebrew and English forms. I would like to say I have remembered them all but I just copied them from the book!
My thoughts on the world of mothering, Christianity and anything else that I think is interesting.

What's in a name?
I love names. I love the way they sound; how different ones blend together perfectly. I had names all planned out for my children, but it did not work out that way. I am just grateful our children were able to have one name from us, and also that their given names are wonderful. If I had had a boy he would have been called 'Benjamin Theodore', it sounds so grand to me and goes well with my surname..
