I wanted to share a bit about the name Logan James. Chelsey and I had names picked out from early on for both a boy and girl. We sort of knew what we wanted. However, the further we got into the 2nd trimester I started waffling on the boy’s name. I wasn’t sure I wanted a Jr, so we started talking more about other options. We had an idea of what we wanted the name to stand for, so we went from there.
Logan:
Logan is named after the Boy Scout Camp where I worked during high school and college, Chief Logan Reservation. Chief Logan was Chief of the Mingo Indian, a honorable and respectable man known for seeking peace over war. To read more about him, click here. The camp represents the same qualities to me. It is focused on helping boys grow both in their scouting and life skills. Lifetime Friendship is it’s mantra that we live by as both current and former staff.
Camp however is also special in that it’s the place where I was lead to Lord in 1999.
James:
James is actually a family name, given to the first born son of all Garrett’s for now five generations. I am proud of my dad and grandfather and the men they are and were, so I definitely wanted to pass along the name and keep the tradition running.
So it was decided one day as I put on a camp t-shirt – Logan James. Stands for Strength, Peace, Friendship, Honor, Tradition, and walking with the Lord.
