Atticus

A few weeks ago I wrote about Grace which is God’s unmerited favor and unconditional love and which, by the way, is the name of my favorite granddaughter. 

     Today, I would like to take a few moments to think about Atticus. This name has ancient Greek origins, meaning “of Attica.” According to research the name represents intelligence, wisdom, and thoughtfulness.  Although not actually named in the Bible, many think Atticus was a strong follower of Paul during his mission ministry. One reference about Atticus stated he was a Roman citizen and suggested that Atticus came from a lineage of Greek Kings like Zeus and Thesuesu and was believed to have spent his childhood years in Italy and Greece. 

     The name Atticus is rather unique and uncommon which makes it stand out. Actually, Atticus is my favorite grandson. 

     So, I could actually start out by describing Atticus as the grandson of Mary. He not only is good looking and complies to set rules and standards, but he is considerate, intelligent, and thoughtful, just as his name implies. Being also the son and grandson of the Jameson lineage, he is of noble descent.
