"A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold." Proverbs 22:1 Can you believe the crazy names being given to children by celebrities? Apple (Gwyneth Paltrow) Puma (Erykah Badu) Pilot Inspektor (Jason Lee) Jermajesty (Jermaine Jackson) Hud and Speck (John Mellencamp). What are they thinking? I can see their first grade teacher now putting their name plate on their desks and shaking her head. . I am so glad Brandon, Sheryl, Madeline, and Ella have civilized names. For a brief moment we threatened to name Brandon after an ancestor of his grandmother-- Iron Andrews-- so that he would forever be Brandon Iron Thomas. But we relented and went for my maiden name and the name of a beloved friend --Brandon Scott--. I think he is proud of his name and more importantly, his name is esteemed because he is a good man blessed by God with spiritual gifts which he shares with others. Thank you God for the good name of my son.
