What's in a Name?


What is in a name? Our first born son was named by Sarah and myself this Tuesday (January 12, 2010). We chose to name him Caleb James Black. A common question already is where his name came from. Clearly, little thought was put in by us on his last name. His first name though... We chose Caleb as his name because we both liked it and it's occurrence in the Bible. In the Old Testament, Caleb took over leading the Isrealites after Joshua. We thought this was a fitting choice as we have talked much of legacy and pray daily over his soul. As for James, I wanted a middle name starting with "J" and Sarah mentioned James not knowing my intention. Sorry there wasn't anything more special in that part. Thus, he became Caleb James Black.
