Mr. Huggie

We have a lady at the place where my wife and I volunteer who loves to hug people. Now some people love to be hugged while others (myself included) prefer to just have a pleasant but no contact greeting.
The name Habakkuk can be translated as "embrace" or "hug". We know very little about him other than he was a contemporary of Jeremiah and prophesied during the time of the Babylonian invasion.
The name may also mean "wrestle" and that would be very fitting as he was willing to wrestle through some of the hard questions. Though he questioned God he never lost his faith in God. In fact, he was the one that gave us that wonderful truth which was the cry of the reformation, "the just shall live by faith."
As we get to know Mr. Huggie we will find that he is a very up to date person. His questions and his answers fit the twenty first century mindset.

P.S. Happy birthday Mandie. I am glad you are my daughter (in-law). Keep sweet in the Lord. We love you.
