“In fact you shall be the father of not only one nation, but a multitude of nations!” Abram fell face downward in the dust as God talked with him. “What’s more,” God told him, “I am changing your name. It is no longer ‘Abram’ (‘Exalted Father’), but ‘Abraham’ (‘Father of Nations’)—for that is what you will be. I have declared it.” (GENESIS 17:4-5 TLB)
After school one day, Donald was on his way home when he overheard someone call out loudly behind him, “Hey you, Dummy!” He turned himself about to see who was speaking, only to see Russell, the school bully, standing aloof with some boys who were laughing. “Yeah, I’m talking to you, Dummy! Don’t you know your name anymore?” Russell joked.
On hearing this, Donald gave Russell a smile he wouldn’t forget in a hurry.
