After I named my website, I received a number of
letters (mostly from Australia) that wondered why I named my
web-site Holy Pig. It seems in that part of the world the term has a
bad connotation. In America however, the term has no meaning at all.
So why did I pick the name
I named my website Holy Pig for a few reasons.
-
It is a play on the term Holy Cow.
-
As anyone who knows me can tell you, I love to
collect pigs and at one time I had well over 200 pig Knick knacks
and things.
-
The main reason for the name Holy Pig is that in the
Old Testament, the pig was declared to be Unclean. In the New
Testament however, God told the Apostle Peter that he makes the Unclean,
Clean. Through Jesus Christ, the Unclean can not only be made Clean,
but it can also become Holy. I who was once Unclean am now Holy in Christ
and thus I am now a Holy little piglet in God's eyes..
