Entry: My name is Abraham, Glen Abraham Saturday, September 09, 2006



many ppl posed me this question: "why Abraham? sounds funny." well, this name was first suggested to me by one of my classmates (dunno which one tho). some of them even wanted to name me after them, like Glen Nigel Liang, Glen Yew Liang, etc. of cos i wudn't do tt! i'm not worthy of those names. they are SJI geniuses! i'm only a Cat High freak. haha. i'm not worthy of the name of Abraham too, but i aspire to possess a character trait tt he has. n the significance of the name is as follows:



Bible Characters


Name: Abram a.k.a Abraham

Background: Son of Terah. Resident of Ur.

Occupation:
Nomadic shepherd, on a large scale.

Achievements:
Abraham is the man of faith of the Old Testament. He had no prior experience on which to base his faith, no Scriptures, only a God who spoke to him and made promises. Yet Abraham believed the promises. He left his home, he believed that he would have a son despite his age, and was even prepared to give up that son if God asked. Yes, he passed his wife off as his sister, but generally, 'Abram believed the Lord and the Lord was pleased with him' (Genesis 15:6). He is one of the great heroes of the Old Testament.

Character: Trusting, but not afraid to question.
Pros:
Trusts in the Lord.
Cons:
Occasionally does not trust in the Lord.
