While we were in Wal-Mart in Idaho we came across an entire section filled with Christian (I use the word loosely because of the heavily Mormon population) books and movies! Not just one or two shelves....but anyway, the cool thing:
"Ephraim" is NOT a common name....most people don't have a clue what we just said and ask us to repeat the name or just smile and nod. Sometimes we get asked if that was in the Bible (Yes, yes it is.) I've never actually met anyone with the name nor have we come across anyone who has known someone with the name. I do however recall the T.V. show "Everwood" to have the main boy character named Ephraim...I think its cool that Hollywood used it! Anyway, we ran across this movie, "Ephraim's Rescue" and of course it is a Mormon story BUT it is really cute too. When we dropped off Ephraim at the Church Sunday School then I was asked to write down his name, but they never actually asked me WHAT his name was. So, I just wanted to make sure that they knew his name. I told the lady there that his name is kind of different and its pronounced "F-rum"...she looked at me and smiled and said, oh, we are very familiar with old testament names! How cool is that????
Pretty cool I think!
