I rarely get angry about my MoMon past, but I've got to say, I'm a little pissed-off about being eternally stuck with Elisha, a boring old OT prophet. Elijah at least called the she-bear down on a bunch of kids after they ridiculed his bald pate. Now I keep hearing about cool Joe Smitty penned names like Helamon and now, Enoch. Was I not valiant enough? Did those childhood afternoons on the lawn covered in Wesson tanning oil (that, my friends, was Wessonality) make me less than white and delightsome in the eyes of the Lord?
In the name of parity, I think the church should take a cue from George Foreman and simply name all the temple sheep Joseph.
