Naming of our son...

So the time has come and we have finally settled on a name for our dear son. His name is Reuben Truman Whitford. Let me now tell you how this name was chosen. Reuben, mentioned in the Book of Genesis, was the eldest of Jacob's sons and it means, 'behold a son'. We also liked the fact that both Ryan and Reuben started with the same letter. Truman was the name of Ryan's grandfather, who had a great impact on Ryan's spiritual upbringing. Ryan's grandfather and mother would pray with him and read the Word of God with him. What a great reminder of passing on the Word of God from generation to generation, in which we will continue to do with our son.
