NZ Top 10

Embrace your middle name!

Today is ‘Middle Name Pride Day,’ so we spent a few minutes sharing our middle names and the stories or meanings behind them.

Jessica’s is PAIGE, which can mean ‘young servant’ according to the website Behind the Name.

Joe’s is DALE, which is a third-generation Rinehart family middle name (his late grandfather and dad also share this middle name). Dale originally was name given to someone who lived beside a dale, or a large valley.

Annabelle’s is LYNN, which was also her maternal grandfather’s first name. Lynn means ‘lake’ in Welsh.

Faith’s is CATHERINE, which is a French name meaning pure and clean.

10. Danny Gokey – Tell Your Heart to Beat Again
9. Jeremy Camp – Same Power
8. Lauren Daigle – Trust in You
7. MercyMe – Flawless
6. Chris Tomlin – Good, Good Father
5. Big Daddy Weave – My Story
4. Matthew West – Grace Wins
3. Jordan Feliz – The River
2. Stars Go Dim – You Are Loved

Today’s topic-driven word of the day is: SURNAME, which means a hereditary name common to all members of a family.

Our crew is back from NRB…Jessica stopped in and told us all about the trip to Nashville! She and Alex Sneed placed second for the Cooking with Chef Paul video project from 2014 Food For the Hungry. We are so proud of her and I am so glad to have Joe and Jess back safely! They were able to listen to great speakers and saw the JJ Weeks Band in concert!

Our word of the day is REPOSE, which is trending in the news:

Justice Antonin Scalia will lie in repose in the Great Hall of the Supreme Court before his funeral, according to tradition. The term lie in repose is used in this case, since to lie in state usually refers to the placement of the coffin of a President, military leader, or member of Congress in the rotunda of the Capitol. Both traditions allow for a time of public viewing of the casket.

Thanks for listening!
