Hi friends, Chaff Rantley here agin. How are y’all?
I jist wanted to say i fergive all ya’ll who made fun of my name. I know what my name means. It is the husk of the wheat grain and it don’t have much value. It is thrashed off and blowed away and the Bible likens the wicked and evil doers to chaff. But God made them good to begin with and they made theirselves worthless by their choices and by listening to the evil one. Sometimes a persons name can bring him down. God would like them all to get back their value and they can by turnin around and makin Jesus the Lord of there life instead of there own sorry self bein lord. God’s grace is a valuable gift and when you get it, that makes you valuable agin, but you can only be eligible for to get it by choosing Jesus. You have to sign up to win the grand prize.
I dont know why my folks named me Chaff, i hope it wasnt to be mean but i dont know. Some people give kids goofy names jist to be different. They think they’s bein clever, but that aint funny. All I know is that Jesus is the name above all names and if i believe in His holy name mine dont matter much, but lotsa people dont know that yet.
So, folks if yer expecting a new little one, give some serious thought to the name he or she will have to carry around all their life. Forgit all them fad names or the name of the latest popular Hollywierd star. Forgit yer whim of the moment or spelling Heaven backwards. Neveah aint no kinda name. Fergit namin them after common objects like “brick” or “mortar” or “chainsaw”. And especially dont name them “chaff”. Why add a burdensome name to all the other burdens they will have to carry through life? Ask God what to name them. Why not give them a uplifting name? This is Chaff and like my cousin says – I’m jist sayin………
