Jesus' name is not "Amen"
A while ago, Nathan began learning to pray ... sometimes before meals, sometimes at bedtime. He had listened to Daddy, Mommy, and his brothers pray, and he wanted to try himself. At first, we would say a line, then he would repeat it. It often went something like this: "God, thank you for today. Thank you for Mommy and Daddy and Austin and Jack. Thank you for making me so special. Thank you for sending Jesus to save us. In Jesus' name, Amen." After several weeks of repeating similar prayers, Nathan looked up in dismay and exclaimed, "Jesus' name is not Amen. Jesus' name is Jesus!" And right he was.
