Elias’ B-Day

by Joe Thorn on March 20, 2007

Happy Birthday Elias.
My son, Elias Keach, turns three today. He’s named after the Elias Keach, son of Benjamin Keach. Elias’ story is great, but I’ll shorten it here and say he was a pastor/church planter in the late seventeenth century both in America and London, England. Our Elias is a fun, happy, and tough little boy. This morning he got his first Nerf gun, which he thinks is the best present ever. I am inclined to agree. I mean, it shoots darts that actually stick to the walls and it has a working laser scope. I want one. Later the whole family is going to Chuck E. Cheese for a little par-tay.

    We got our boys a nerf gun set for xmas and then my mother-in-law got me a nerf gun as well. And I have to agree with Elias, it is pretty sweet. It may have been the best present I received for xmas!

    Happy Birthday, little man. Joe, I admire how much time and thought ou and your wife put into his name. My wife and I are having the hardest time picking a name for our child that’s due in August. After her miscarriage, verses and meanings hit our hearts so much more. Sometimes I wonder what happened to the days when a name meant something.
