A new identity
For a while I have been wanting to change my blog name to truly and more accurately reflect my true self.
It has been a long, treacherous and joyful journey with Jesus. And the time has come to make a change in my blog name.
It may not seem like a big deal ... or rather, it may seem like a petty or stupid thing to do. But I think its crucial.
My new blog name will now be: Proliferating Santos
Previously, it was Proliferating menzos -- which is an anglo/spanish combinational term meaing "multiplying dummies".
I don't think I ever considered myself a dummy, altough sometimes I sure felt like one. But even a greater tragedy, is that, I believed its spiritual synonymical counterpart: worthless, ignoramous, artificial, fake, false, etc.
Although I haven't come full circle in embracing my true identity as a Santo (Saint), I do know that continually I will try to engage what God says and thinks of me.
And exactly what is a Santo? A Santo is "one separated from the world and consecrated to God; one holy by profession and by covenant; a believer in Christ." (Ps. 16:3; Rom. 1:7; 8:27; Phil. 1:1; Heb. 6:10).

That's really beautiful. I think your new name is a better reflection of you too. I wish I had a meaningful name for my blog. Maybe I'll try to think of one.
Praise God that He is doing such a great transformation in you! I'm so proud of all of the hard work you have been doing. You are my man of great courage and faith.

yeah, that's pretty cool.
i used to think names and titles didn't really matter. somewhere I changed on that b/c we purposefully named our son "luminous, fierty torch." that's "lucas brant" to you and me.
that's "fiery". oh well.
:) I think this reflects you much better too.
