Oh no, it was better to name me after a device of ill repute! Not trying to go off topic, but just a quick mention... my brother-in-law is Charles but prefers to be called Chuck. Unfortunately, some tease with the name upchuck... so not a whole lot better than John, in some ways. just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah sister, we have that in common, ...as a child, when I didn't know how to spell a word, I would ask my mom, ...she would always say, "go look it up in the dictionary," ...now our dictionary was old, huge and must of weighed 20 pounds, most of the time I would forget to look for my word and just start reading page after page, ...when I started to learn French, I would do the same with a French Dictionary, Robert pour tous is my go to, ...but back then it was Larousse because it included pictures. Anyway sis, ...we're not weird, ...we just have a large vocabulary. Lord bless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTC are actually the initials of the first, middle and last names I received at birth. The first one is John. Hi JTC. No I didn't think you were trying to liken yourself to Christ via your intials, but your post reminds me of this interesting alpha-numeric sequence (count the letters in each word). 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would be assigned two pages from the dictionary, and we would have to sit and write down every definition with all the details on seperate sheets of paper, and we weren't allowed to leave until it was reviewed by the teacher. Every student dreaded this, but me, I found it interesting. Having to write so much hurt my wrist, but still, the punishment wasn't very effective on me. I'd look through it once in a while, and that has continued into my adult life. Now I have an encyclopedic dictionary 1149 pages thick. I haven't read through all of it yet. Lord bless you as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 You show humility in feeling you must explain. That is good, although I'm sure nobody thought anything like that about your name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you asked :-) I've had this concern many yrs. I'm becoming more known lately so I did this. There has been a wonderful side effect I did not anticipate, which means the Lord did it. I've been trying to get everyone to open up & trust each other more for years. I mean we're Christians are we not. But some of us are scared to use our 1st names or say which state we're in. Others won't say their gender. Well since I said I'm John I think 2 or 3 others have disclosed their 1st names. Thank you Jesus. (Stay tuned for my next Big thread when the Lord wants it) I think it will be soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
