What's In A Name?

For those of you who may wonder why I titled my blog site "The Free Mind of Con$tantine#1037," well, it was conceived out my recent findings on Biblical history,world history,and my own history.Let's just say I have become somewhat of an historian. Anyhow,my born name is Constance and in my elementary school yrs,classmates would give me nicknames like, Constantinople and Constantine. I had no idea how important those names were to the Bible, the one book I have studied since I could read,however,the choices I have made in my life show no evidence of that. Constantine was actually a male given name to a Roman Emperor, who in A.D. 313 legally sanctioned Christianity,and encouraged his empire to become Christ followers during a time when one could be killed if they openly professed to worshipping Jesus.Constantine also named Constantinople(formerly named Instabul), the new capital of Rome. Because the Bible states that "Jesus came to set the captives FREE," and my mind is no longer in bondage by the old interpretation of the Word, I felt it only fitting to add that to the title as well. And the #1037 not only comes from my current home address, but also from the book of Matthew(my dad's name)10:37-39. As befitting because everyone thinks that I HAVE lost my mind, but actually I have found it!
