Many people in Ghana, Africa are very devout. They express it in the names they
give to their business enterprises. There is a Hail Mary Plumbing Shop. You can
to go to the I Love Jesus Dry Cleaner. You can refuel your car at the God is
Great Gas Station.
Personal names also reflect this unusual custom. One American visitor said that his guide was named God Knows Setordzi. "God Knows" was really his first name! What a reminder that must have been for that man. If he were tempted to do evil he would remember that God knows. If he felt unappreciated he would recall that God knows. If he were in pain or grief or despair he would be comforted by thinking, "God Knows!" Whatever your legal name, it is good always to remember that God knows!
