This just in from the Lake City Reporter in Lake City, Florida...
Charles Haffey wanted to change his name. To "God". Circuit Judge Vernon Douglas wouldn't let him. But Charles had a backup plan. Inspired by the words of Moses, Charles wanted to be known as "I Am Who I Am". The judge agreed.
The former Mr. Haffey explained it this way...
"According to Moses, when he said, 'What's your name, dude?' (God) said, 'I am who I am or I will be who I will be.' But that's kind of wordy, so I'm just going for 'I am who I am' as my full legal name. My first name, of course, would be 'I am.'"
But wait, there's more...
According to Who I Am, God told him he should become one of His prophets. At first Who I Am didn't know why he would be chosen. God explained it to him this way...
"Well, you turned from me 40 years ago, started your life of sin, you skipped church and played pinball with hookers and alcoholics."
Apparently God thought he would make a good prophet since "You know an awful lot about evil and lying and betrayal and all that."
Who I Am eventually agreed to become a prophet, telling God, "OK, Can I look like Charlton Heston in the Ten Commandments?"
But God must not have been a fan, since He replied "Nope. I don't want my children distracted by your appearance. I want you plain and almost ugly."
I Am Who I Am sums it up this way...
"I only had one stop left on my bus line of existence and that was God. I gave my life to Jesus. I said, 'I trashed my life for 40 years, you can have it all back.' (God) said, 'OK, I'll take it. I've got a washer-dryer.'"
So there you have it, God has a washer-dryer.
