A reader posted this on my facebook wall today:
Have you seen this snippet on Jaycee Duggard’s new book? I thought you might find it interesting, Kary. “For eighteen years I was a prisoner. I was an object for someone to use and abuse. For eighteen years I was not allowed to speak my own name. I became a mother and was forced to be a sister. For eighteen years I survived an impossible situation. On August 26, 2009, I took my name back. My name is Jaycee Lee Dugard. I don’t think of myself as a victim. I survived.
What do you have in common with Jaycee Dugard?
The same thing you have in common with Elizabeth Smart.
The same thing you have in common with…Rapunzel from Disney’s Tangled movie.
Each was stolen against their will and stripped of their Name. 
Each received a Given Name (Jaycee = Alyssa, Elizabeth = Shiridashi, Rapunzel = Flower)
Each victim felt tremendous loss in losing their True Name.
Each forgot their True Name…even when their rescuers came to bring them back home.
Each wanted to be free.
But each didn’t know how to become free.
You too have a captor.
(The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy…John 10:10)
You too have been stolen against your will.
You too have been stripped of your Name.
You too have received Given Names. 
And in order to be free you must discover Your Secret Name.
(…but I {Jesus} have come that you might have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10)
Isn’t it time?
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes…I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it. Revelation 2:17
