His Delight
Was Your Name by Accident?
Each of us has been given a name by our parents; some before birth, some after. I have often wondered why a certain name was given. Was it chosen because of an ancestor, an entertainer Mama liked, or just something that popped into Mama and Daddy’s head?
As it turns out each name has a a hidden meaning, a deeper Biblical meaning. Here are some of the more common names we have been given according to the book, “What’s in a Name?” by Linda Francis, John Hartzel, and Al Palmquist.

With this being a blog about abuse I decided to include “abuse of power.” May God’s will be done in this election.
The MOST IMPORTANT Presidential Election in American History: What Kind of America Will You Vote for?

I came across this in my reading today and thought it to be a fantastic example of the woman’s role in marriage, as well as how a man ought to perceive and treat his spouse. From Matthew Henry’s commentary on Genesis 2:
That the woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved.
