The name "Joe" means "God will add" in Hebrew, and it is one of my favorite names. None of my friends are named Joe though. God adds a lot of joy to my life and His amazing wonders of the universe.
Good to know. Turns out Joe is a plain name that has a special meaning! I really like names that have a Christian meaning. :)

But I prefer the longer Joseph.

Yep, Joe is a plain name with a special meaning. I prefer "Joe" the shorter version of Joseph, as so much meaning can be conveyed in that monosyllabic name. Jesus Christ's name translated to English is Joshua, son of Joseph (even though Jesus is technically son of God). God 100% added a Savior for humanity on that first Christmas over 2000 years ago. :)

It’s interesting most of the NT letters are titled after a Group. They’re not Paul’s Letter to The Bishop In Ephesus for example. It was eye-opening when I read the introduction to the letters they're to ALL believers in the city. The emphasis on a group, not 1 person in a group, not 2 people in the group, but ALL. That' includes the most insignificant & the most powerful both. God loves the group. His message is for the whole group. When I would read the Bible when I was younger & was really struggling w/ self-esteem, I thought they were just written for believers God picked, you can only have those things if you're a special kind of believer. I saw that special kind as a "have". The preacher. The particularly gifted. The particularly talented. It wasn't till much later I learned it doesn't say that.

Merry Christmas, everyone. :) If I may share a song that I always really liked hearing around this time of year when I first heard it on a random Chrismas song CD that a relative gave me as a stocking stuffer gift on a Christmas way back when I was in college. I hope I do not presume too much in saying so, but it is my understanding that @Multifavs and Sir @RileyG are from the Catholic church and so to would be attuned to this song, so I hope they see this. :angel:

I've been thinking about getting a Gab account. I know I talk bad about some of the people on there, but the place offers free speech.

There's times I'd like to say or emoji real free speech here, but it's against the rules.
