Soledad Rose

As most people who know me know...I read my Bible DAILY. Contrary to what "the world" believes, I know and believe with every fiber of my being that God's word is true. And it's just as true today as it was when it was INSPIRED BY HIM.

One of the many things that I find fascinating when reading, are the names of the people and what the names mean. Unlike the names of today (some of which I could easily list but won't, to avoid the risk of offending anyone), back then, your name either told who you were, who you belonged to, who you worshiped, who you'd become, etc.,etc,.etc.

So very meaningful.

Some of the names are even kind of sad. There's one in particular in 1 Chronicles. If you read that book, you'll know which one I'm referring to when you get to it.

Then again, people may say the same about my name, or even your name.

I often wonder if my life would have been different if my mother had named me her first choice instead of the choice that she finally decided on. I was born in the late 60s, during the time of love, peace, and flower-children. So it only seems fitting that my mother considered naming me: Soledad Rose.

Kinda hippy-ish, I know. But you know what else...I like it. I think I am much more a Soledad Rose, than the name that I was actually given.

Don't get me wrong...I like my name. It's very French (which I am NOT), and it sounds very pretty when pronounced correctly. It also has meaning that I may share with you on day, but today...isn't that day.

So...on that note...

Let the DIALOGUE begin! Do you like your name? If not, what would you change it to if you could?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
