Wk 03*** Theo + dore = God's Gift

Someone once asked: "What's in a name?" I wonder how many people know what is in their name, or what is the meaning of their name. Even more so, I wonder how much of a person’s name is in the person!? I wonder how many names have lost their meaning, or how many people have lost their purpose. I believe that my name, Theodore Anthony XXXX, Jr., its full meaning and related history, defines who I am and what my purpose is. I bear my father’s full name, so I am a junior; and I believe I bear my father’s image and likeness, as well as my mother’s image and likeness, and so, part of whom I am is who my parents are.

“Theodore” means “gift of God” and I believe I was God’s gift to my parents. “Anthony” means “flower” and I believe Anthony is an attractive compliment to Theodore. I believe Anthony also bears the fruit and seed of my attractive parents. I believe my Catholic parents inspired me to become like my patron saint, Anthony, who was known as the finder of lost articles. I believe that when I found Jesus, I found the gift of God which had been lost to me, and to many.

I believe Jesus Christ is the gift of God to His Heavenly Father and to His Holy Creation, Mother Earth. I believe Jesus is fully God, Theos Himself, and not the junior of Father Theos. I believe His Holy Spirit is also fully Theos, God, and fully One with the Father and with the Son, Jesus. I believe the Name of Jesus attracts people to the attractiveness of God, to the Glory of Theos. I believe there are great mysteries in the Creation of Theos, and I believe I have found the keys to unlocking these mysteries. I believe the gifts of the Holy Spirit are the keys to understanding these mysteries, and to understanding all mysteries.

I believe the Holy Spirit has given many gifts to His People. I believe many people have lost the gifts that God, Theos, has given them. I believe I have been called to help people find their lost gifts. I believe that without these gifts of Theos, people have also lost their way. I believe I can find their gifts and show them the Way. I believe the greatest gift is Love, followed by Faith and Hope. I believe all things are gifts of God. I believe God is Love, abundant Love. I believe I can help people find the Faith, Hope and abundant Love that they have lost.

There are many other things I believe. I believe people everywhere have to eat. I believe corporations everywhere need people. I believe all the corporate rich should feed all the hungry people. I believe corporations need not understand all the mysteries of Life, or of Theos, to know that people that do not consume food, are not long consumers. I believe, whether or not you love Jesus, you should feed His sheep. I believe that everyone who feeds God’s sheep will be blessed in abundance. I believe all people are God’s sheep. I believe many sheep are lost and need to be found.

I believe my name, Theodore Anthony XXXX, Jr., tells everything about who I am. I believe the online nickname I have chosen, TedtheRabbi (Rabbi means teacher), tells everything about what I do in the Name of God, Theos. I believe people everywhere recognize me by my name. I believe people know by my name that I can teach them everything about God. I believe people everywhere want to know about Theos, especially about the attractive glorious gifts of God, the Holy Spirit, the Jesus Christ, the Almighty Theos God; and especially people want to know about the wonderful things of Theos they have lost.
