[I guess it’s better than Ms. GoldenPalace.com (the former Ms. Terri Iligan. But at least she got paid.]

Steve Kreuscher is no more.

[I guess I can understand getting sick of spelling “Kreuscher” for people. I’m starting to get sick of telling CSRs in India how to spell “Bradley”.]

A Lake County judge granted permission to the Zion man Friday to officially change his name to “In God We Trust.” That’s “In God” as a first name and “We Trust” as a last name….

We Trust said the new name more closely represents his devotion to God than “Steve Kreuscher” did.

[There’s something to be said for The New York Times’s formality. I really like the ring of Mr. We Trust.]

The process to change his name took roughly three months. Throughout the course We Trust said he was looking for a sign from God that would let him know it was a good idea. He got it one day while adding up the expenses for the name change, which came out to roughly $600.

[I was expecting him to get a sign from the Almighty while looking in his wallet, but no:]

“I didn’t want to use my own money because things are tight,” said the father of four. “Three weeks later, I got my (tax) rebate check for $600….

[Wow. So God really is working through George Bush.]

Apparently, the Chicago Tribune reported earlier that Mr. We Trust was concerned about the boogeyman atheists “having the phrase ‘In God We Trust’ removed from U.S. currency.”

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not change, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not change, I am nothing.

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not change, it profiteth me nothing.

Change suffereth long, and is kind; change envieth not; change vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Change never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

And now abideth faith, hope, change, these three; but the greatest of these is change.
