What’s in a name?

This is a relatively new venture for me, blogging, that is, so with the help of some input from a few friends, hopefully it can be of some value.
Where and why did I come up with the name “His Hands”? Being a follower of Jesus Christ I have been learning from the Bible much about what it means to be a “follower”. Boy, do I have a lot more to learn, because just when I feel I’m pretty much getting it, I blow it! Oh, it might be just driving down the Interstate and someone cuts me off, you know it’s not easy to be kind to those who don’t do things right. Anyway, back to the name, when I began to follow Jesus, I read in the Bible that I am suppose to “die out” to my self-centeredness, and be born of God’s Spirit…this is one of the parts where it gets hard for me. Again, the way the Bible explains it, I’m still living in this same body so at times there is a struggle between what I know I should do and what my body (flesh) wants to do. God chooses to accomplish a lot of things here on earth through His followers, so it’s kinda like His followers are His hand’s and feet, so to speak. That’s where the name comes from, I want to do everything I am learning that God wants me to do.
Until next time,
Dick
