What made you choose the name you did.

I wanted to choose a different name. So, I chose 'Father's Girl'. But, I went to the old chat room that used to be here, and it chose my screen name itself. It called me 'Father'.

So, I hurried to the PM's to call for help, and AngelAmidala changed my screen name to my own name.

After all, Jesus said, 'Call no man 'Father' but the Father in Heaven'. And, I might add, 'You can call me anything, but don't call me late to dinner'.

"Jedi" not only refers to those light saber-swinging good guys from Star Wars (which is definitely part of the reference of my name), but the term "Jedi" is Hebrew in origin, and means "Beloved by God." It has a nice double-reference to it. There, you learned something about Star Wars you probably didn't know before. :)

I was raised in a home where the concepts of honor and chivalry were taught and encouraged. Whe I became an adult I found that these concepts were, to put it mildly, not popular in society. Nevertheless, I decided to hold true to what I knew to be right. As soon as I found a woman who appreciated this about me I married her. (Took 25 years though.)

Plus, I've always been facinated by the legends of the knights of old.

Im a big tolkien fan, I think he has been used by God to speak volumes to society.. and britain in particular.. so I started learning quenya one of his elvish languages and I came accross the phrase that is in my signature it means "hope: - she never falters or fails she will always persevere!" and I thought, "awesome!" so I made "hope" (that is amatire) my name.

Well one of my favorite verses is 2Cori(nthians)12:9 (and 10):

 

But he said to me, "My grace is enough<SUP>11</SUP> for you, for my<SUP>12</SUP> power is made perfect<SUP>13</SUP> in weakness." So then, I will boast most gladly<SUP>14</SUP> about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may reside in<SUP>15</SUP> me. <B>12:10</B> Therefore I am content with<SUP>16</SUP> weaknesses, with insults, with troubles, with persecutions and difficulties<SUP>17</SUP> for the sake of Christ, for whenever I am weak, then I am strong.

&nbsp;

Awesome verse! :pink: I guess it just stuck.
