Well looks like I'm gonna take a hack at having a blog, here goes nothing!
I thought I'd start with a question that people commonly ask me, "What does your middle name mean?" Well, it is a city in modern day Israel but I think my parents choose it more for the spiritual meaning. I was reading in the Recovery Version of the Bible which I got from Living Stream Ministry and found a great footnote.
"Genesis 35:27 After experiencing the deeper and more personal dealings, Jacob entered into full fellowship with God at Hebron (Hebron means fellowship, communion). Abraham had come to Shechem (12:6), had passed through Bethel (12:8), and had dwelt in Hebron (13:18; 18:1), and Isaac spent nearly his whole life in Hebron. Jacob followed Abraham’s footsteps to come to Shechem (33:18), to pass through Bethel (35:6), and to dwell in Hebron. In Hebron Jacob enjoyed full rest, joy, satisfaction, intimacy, and fellowship with the Lord. It was in Hebron that he began to mature in life."
I am always thankful for such a helpful note which reminds me about my parents view and burden for me. Just like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob I too would like to be a person who dwells in "Hebron" in order to reach a full and mature life.
