SO MUCH IN A NAME

My dad and my brother tried for a while to unscramble the letters to figure out our son's name. We wanted to let you know how we came up with the name CAEDMON. We went on a little retreat to pray and ask God what to name our son. A name is so important and as we look through scripture you see God giving specific names to individuals and even changing their name at a significant point in their life. We prayed that God would give us a name, but he didn't give us a name. He did impress, however, a meaning on our hearts. Warrior. We were supposed to name our son a name that meant warrior. That is all we knew after our retreat and when we came home Ashley began to search on the internet. I had some appointments that day, but when I came home Ashley stopped me and told me a name that she found. I was in full agreement as the name Caedmon left her lips. She found that Caedmon means "Wise Warrior". We pray that Caedmon is a warrior for the Lord and will always stand as a protector of the truth. A warrior is not one who starts fights, but protects and stands between evil and good. Our prayer is that he will be a Tender Warrior, as depicted by Stu Weber's book, Tender Warrior.
