Today, I am at my local coffee shop reading through Run With The Horses by Eugene Peterson (following along with the sermon series at my church), and read the chapter describing the importance of names. Intrigued by this, I decided to do a bit of research on my name. I already knew what Daniel means in Hebrew (God is my judge), so I looked elsewhere for a (hopefully) expanded meaning. My search led me to Urban Dictionary, whose definition of Daniel left me speechless. Here it is in its entirety: DANIEL: This is a difficult name to define because it defies many boundaries of human perception, let alone various languages. One of the closest translations that experts give is God or many other variations of that general idea. Other definitions are thought to be: Tao Chi The Great Spirit Chuck Norris Energy Infinity Sublime etc. Despite the fact that various names have been pinned to Daniel, its seems that all of the above examples (including that of God)cannot even withstand the magnitude of Daniel. The reason this name continues to elude even the brightest of human minds is that the idea of Daniel cannot possibly exist in a dimensional state. Daniel is so powerful, it defies all laws of this or any other universe. Recent studies have shown that people who have attempted to comprehend this name have either disappeared, died spontaneously, or driven themselves into a pertinent state of insanity and/or catatonia. One common belief is that Daniel is possibly the grounds on which everything and nothing is based. It seems to surpass the idea of infinity. Quantum physicists report that this Daniel is Everything and Nothing. It or He is said to have unexplainable connections with the String and Superstring Theories as Daniel resonates within every single layer of the multi-dimensional complex and yet still exists beyond that point which is where scientists have lost the trail. Various theologists and spiritual leaders believe that Daniel is one who is, as they say, The Answer. All attempts to understand this idea of Daniel have failed. Daniel. Nothing else can describe him. -------- ...wow. I never knew I was omnipotent. ...one would think that the omniscience would have helped with that. With this newfound information, now I REALLY want to try snowboarding.
