Below is a note my Dad sent out to a bunch of people:
I’m proud to announce the birth of Emmett Scott Zeller yesterday (5/10) at 5:30 PM. He weighed 9 lbs. 2 oz., and is 21 inches long. We thank God for bringing him and Heather both safely through the delivery. They are both doing very well.
“Emmett” is the Hebrew word for “truth.” As our son comes into a world where truth is increasingly viewed as subjective and relative, we want him to know that there is such a thing as absolute truth, and that it is found in God and in His Word. The Bible uses this word in many places, a few of which come to mind:
Psalm 115:1 “Not to us, O LORD, not to us, But to Your name give glory Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth.”
2 Samuel 7:28 “Now, O Lord GOD, You are God, and Your words are truth”
Psalm 86:11 “Teach me Your way, O LORD; I will walk in Your truth”
Emmett’s middle name, “Scott,” is in honor of his uncle Scott Zeller. We pray that Emmett would come to have the same love for God and love for people that is so evident in Scott’s life.
