Names of God

“Children, can you tell me a name for God? Mary Frei, can you think of a name of God?”

Mary Frei, “Jesus.”

“Zeke, what about you?”

“Jehovah Jirah.”

“Good. Elisha?

“The Holy Spirit.”

“That’s right. Now Lily Beth, can you think of a name of God?”

“Leroy.”

The table came unglued! Poor girl looked baffled. “There really is a name of God ‘Leroy’ Daddy preached on it.”

Jarod, all but wiping tears off his face responded through laughter, “You’re right, you’re right. But it’s not Leroy, it El Roy!”

Then he slid into his best redneck voice and began to talk as God would have talked to Abraham if His name was Leroy!
