PJP2 “7 PRAISES” - 161018 - DOC PAPPY J
T-Minus 0.0....OOWG2 - 5.....AF Final Out/Trans-Leave Begins....
DOC PAPPY J:
I had someone the other day ask me where in the world my Call Sign (DOC PAPPY J) came from. Great question - IF you've never had a Call Sign, it is somewhat of a 'nickname' - sometimes the Call Sign is derived from an action you've done, for example "Wrong Way" could be applied to someone who consistently goes the wrong direction. "Too Tall" could be applied to either someone Too Tall, or even someone less tall in stature. "Mad Dog" - someone who displays excessive aggressiveness at times, perhaps. Call Signs, from my experience, have usually been a 'term of endearment' of sorts, even though at times they may not sound like it.
I have learned that often times it is wise to come up with your own Call Sign and begin to employ it on your own - however be advised that even then, IF your Team does not concur, you may well end up with a Call Sign they employ, even if you do not....
Thus my Call Sign, "DOC PAPPY J" is one that's been evolving over the last 30 years. And in true Johnson fashion, DOC PAPPY J is indeed a J-ACRONYM:
DOC PAPPY J - Disciple Of Christ Purposefully Approaching in Prayer and Praising You Jesus
To go into the history of how DOC PAPPY J was started, etc, I will not bore you with the details. Suffice to say, though, when I employ DOC PAPPY J, in my own 'noggin, I'm sharing the J-ACRONYM as well. My personal Prayer is that I will Reflect the J-ACRONYM in all my Words, Actions and Thoughts.
BLUF: DOC PAPPY J's existence is founded and grounded on the Foundation/Promise of God The Father, Demonstrated via His Son, our Lord Jesus, and Ever Present by His Gift of His Holy Spirit within us.....Isaiah 54:10 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."'For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, BUT My Steadfast LOVE Shall NOT depart from you, And My Covenant Of PEACE Shall NOT be removed,' Says The Lord, Who Has Compassion On you.".....
