I’ve been thinking a lot about names. It started while autographing books, and realizing that one cannot assume to know how to spell today’s most common names. Parents give their children some of the oddest names; those that are made up (Michandraqueeta), signs of the times (Hashtag), fruit (Apple), to memorialize a special person (Tallulah), or the weather (Hurricane). This onomastic inventiveness may be irksome to some observers because apostrophes are placed where none is needed or because of ridiculous, unpronounceable symbols.

I often think about the many people who enter my sphere of influence in a typical week.
I think of the talented people who share my office space. It’s been my extreme good fortune to work with creative people who are not only friends, but fellow believers.

How do we find the gospel glistening in a falling teardrop? Given that the word “gospel” comes from the Greek euaggelion, meaning “good news,” one may quite justifiably ask: “What’s the crying for if you’ve got the good news?” Doesn’t the gospel mean that when we accept Christ, we become “new creations,” experience “joy unspeakable and full of glory,” and “live happily ever after”? And indeed it does. But that didn’t stop Jesus from weeping (John 11:35). Remember?
