Name Game

When I was in high school and beyond I played in a variety of bands. More often than not we never made it out of my parent's basement but one thing was always for certain; we would have a kickin name. Discussion of such usually occupied most of our first practice. Our band name would identify us, it let people get a glimpse of what we were all about before they ever heard our music so it was important we got it right. 

Sometimes I wish our names were that way. We name our children before we know anything about them, is there really any chance of getting it right? When a new Pope is elected one of his first acts is to pick a new name, this name signifies what his papacy will stand for. God changed people's names all the time, what if we did the same? What if we changed our names when we accepted Jesus as our Lord? If you could pick a name to define what your new life would be like what name would you choose?
