Our first child, [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_u]Lior[/name_u], joined us on [name_u]July[/name_u] 6,2018. We are calling her “[name_f]Lola[/name_f]” most of the time.
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] was a name we just liked, as well as a subtle nod to adventurer and scientist Merriweather [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] and author CS [name_m]Lewis[/name_m], who in addition to being a great author of fiction was also a great theologian who wrote prolifically in favor of the [name_m]Christian[/name_m] faith using logic and heart. We hope she has all these qualities.
[name_u]Lior[/name_u] is a Hebrew name that means “I have a light.” We chose it to represent her Jewish heritage and to remind her of [name_m]Jesus[/name_m]’ promise in [name_m]John[/name_m] 8:12 “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but have the light of life.” We thought it fitting to give her an everlasting reminder of hope in these dark times
