Robert Frost's poem "A Cliff Dwelling" reminds me of the people who must have lived here "Oh years ago--ten thousand years" and enjoyed the beauty and safety of a cliff. A place "to rest from his besetting fears". Welcome to mine.
In 2014 I featured a series of blog posts introducing you to 2,014 names. For the most part they were names that were brand new to me as well. Some names may be more familiar but I found the meaning or origin or some other aspect of the name made it worthy of inclusion here. You may love some of the names, you may hate some, but hopefully you enjoy learning about all of them.

Uncle Bruce
I am thinking of you tonight and the place in the Bible that says 'he maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul.' A wise one once said 'redemption costs little for the wise spender who has not amounted great credit bills and debts. It costs a good deal more for those who have. But one whose work is redemption counts not the cost but the gain. So nothing is lost if all is redeemed. Only the fearful see loss in a lost soul. One whose work is redemption sees only a soul."
