32. What’s in a Name? (Romans 16:1-16)
It has been described as the sweetest sound a person can hear. It can have a lifelong impact on the identity of an individual. It is one of the most defining aspects of our lives. Of course, I’m talking about our names.
As parents prepare for the arrival of a newborn, they pour over baby books and
contemplate the virtually limitless combinations available -- and their meaning –
being particularly careful not to saddle their child with an embarrassing name and
at the same time hoping and praying that the name and its meaning will give the
child something to aspire to. My parents named me Robert Brian Hallman
Robert Brian = “Bright and shining star”
My family obviously had high expectations for my life. That is until the day
at my grandfather’s funeral, when at age 7, I mistakenly signed my name
in the guest book as “Robert Brain Hallman” At that moment everyone in
my family accepted the irrevocable and disappointing truth that they had
made a tragic mistake – instead of “bright and shining star” they were
going to have to settle for “Falling Star.”
