Flagged?

Um ... why is my blog flagged every time I go to the page? I unflag it, click the back button, and it's flagged again. Hmm ... I don't think there's anything objectionable on here. Hopefully, the folks at Blogger will be able to help me with this problem.

Today I thought about names and how they are so attached to the persons they represent. Almost inextricably linked. My name represents who I am, and when people speak or write it, an image of me is conjured in their minds. I've long been an admirer of those who choose names with a meaning for their children. As far as I can tell, the ancients always did this, and some even kept a child's true name a secret for fear that evil spirits might try to have power over the child. Remember the first book of the Earthsea Trilogy by Ursula K. LeGuin? To know the true name of a thing is to have power over it. I think there is some truth in this.

I'm amazed at how many figures in the Bible were given names according to their mission or as a sign to others: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (who became Israel), John the Baptist, and of course, Jesus the Christ. How can we dare take names lightly? Why would anyone give a name without meaning?
