This past Saturday there was this man with white hair that sort of creeped me out, but he was saying that my husband better treat me well. When we introduced each other and I said my name, he said that my name meant “beloved.” I was surprised that he knew that instantly. Then he immediately quoted I Samuel 25:25b in the King James Version: for as his name is, so is he.
Yesterday evening Inch asked a handful of us if we wanted to participate in the following:

Dining Out For Life
Benefiting AIDS Foundation HoustonOn Thursday, April 30, 2009, restaurants across Houston will unite in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Each restaurant will generously donate 33% of food bills all day long.

Long story short, it just ended up being Andrew and me. How fun ;-) We went to Barnaby’s at the Shepherd location. We chatted about a range of topics, as all normal conversations go, and he enlightened me (he seems to do that a lot) that Britney Spears sings a song with my name in it but really has nothing to do with Amy. He said I probably won’t use that as my theme song. I “listened” it up, along with some others (well, not all):

Have a better eponymous song for me?
You are the defender of the weak
You are near those in need
You are a peace to those who grieve
my God you are so many thingsYou are my refuge and strength
You are my hiding place
You hear my voice when i call
before i say anything at all
in desperate need i cry
only to realize
the hand that heals the sick
has my name written on itYou are the forgiver of my past
You are the pure and spotless lamb
You are the balm that heals the wounds i have
my God You are so many things
["Psalm 91" by Sonicflood from A Heart Like Yours]
