You are so right that I inwardly laugh in glee whenever a friend will soon suffer the joys of parenthood. I’m caught!

That right there will make you the ultimate cool dad. Fleeting and temporary. The more time passes, the more painfully aware of this I become. Jobs change. People come and go. Friends are lost to long-distance moves, tension, time, or death. And that last one, you never want to believe even when you know it's coming. Ice is the coolest nickname I’ve ever heard.

Bummer. And Bry -- thanks! "Deliverance" also means "salvation" and "healing," and after the root is "-iah" which is short of "Yahweh." So the range of possible meanings for Isaiah is "deliverance/salvation/healing of the Lord." But I haven't seen it in Hebrew -- looks great!

And about your friend (who, if he is the same person I am thinking of, also used to be a point guard back in the day) -- hopefully his loved ones can take some comfort in the knowledge that he has changed a lot of lives for the better.
