Meaning of your username (handle)??

This is an awesome thread! :D

Well, i thought that if i ever had a band, i would want it to be called, thrive. I'm also a bit of a newsboys fan (they were a big influence on me before & after i was saved) & when i found out their next album is going to be called thrive, i decided. :cool:

plus i just liked the definition:

"to prosper; be fortunate or successful ..."
--> "to grow or develop vigorously, flourish ..." <--

:) :) :)

Hi, blynn. I'm new on this site like alot of others! Fun to read people's user names.

Mine is because I love the entire 23rd Psalm. And there's a picture I have on my bedroom wall of Jesus holding a little lamb in His arms. I love to picture myself as a lamb that He is holding... sooooo peaceful and comforting.

So, I'm His Lamb! ;)

The scripture Mathew 5:16 - Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and gloryfy your Father in heaven. Gzuznme, means Jesus in me, and when you see me, I should not have to say I am saved. You ought to be able to see Jesus in me, whether its at work, home, or in the street, because the word says what ever I do, do as unto the Lord.

I am really going to have to get a new username!!! Ya'll have some really cool and imagininitive ones.

Mine is simple "t" is for my first name.
"eric" is my middle name
"l" is for my last name
And "2" is just because many years ago when I set up my very first email account, it wouldn't let me have just "tericl", so i added the "2". :D

I grew up in NYC near a historical home once lived in by Edgar Allan Poe, called Poe Cottage. When I was young I read a lot of his poetry. My tastes have changed a bit since then but I remember as a child being very moved by his writings.
And, of course, Annabel Lee is one of his more well known poems.
(I was 12! What do you expect! LOL)

Annabel Lee
Edgar Allan Poe

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee.
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.


But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Guess I'm one of the dumb ones, didn't know i could select a username... my birth name was Willis Deal, named after my grandfather. After I started doing genealogy I realized my grandfather was named after his g-grandfather, so my name has been in the family since at least 1790. I was adopted at the age of 18 months and my name was legally changed, but I use Willis Deal for a lot of my internet stuff, keeps me from having to use a false name, and still protects my privacy.
