There is one God who has many names…

In writing the reflective poems on relationships to God in my book, The God of Common Sense, I use several of His names; Allah, Yahweh, Father, Krishna, Christ, and Holy Spirit.  I do this because I truly believe there is one God to whom people have given different names.  It has been written that when directly asked for His name, He simply replied, "I Am that Am."


I'm comfortable using all his names because I believe a god who loves unconditionally considers all his children as sacred! He hears them all by whatever name they use to communicate with him. The desire to communicate is what is vital, not the name.
