"A moving thing to read. Not to take anything away from it, but it isn't a direct quote from Anne Graham." Yeah, I've seen this style article before and I hate when it gets convuluted into someone else saying it...glad you enjoyed.

It's Orthodox Jewish practice not to spell out the full name of the Lord in English; it's an echo of the (very wise) tradition not to say out loud the 'tetragrammaton', replacing it with 'Adonai' ("Lord") when speaking Scripture. I think it is an exceedingly righteous tradition and should be emulated by devout Christians.

OTOH, don't get me started on numbering years B.C.E. and C.E. ....
