A local artist says the only way he can truly express himself is by legally changing his name to “In God We Trust.”
Yes. First name, “In God.” Last name, “We Trust.”
School bus driver and amateur artist Steve Kreuscher of Zion will appear in a Lake County court June 13, hoping the judge will grant his request.
“I want this with all my heart,” says the 57-year-old father of four.
Kreuscher, a Christian who gave up on organized religion 20 years ago, said the new name would symbolize the story of his life.
“I’ve had to trust God through incredibly hard times,” he said.
Going through an “extremely painful” divorce, bouts of severe depression, money problems and a life-threatening home invasion, he believes God protected him through it all. He’s also worried atheists might finally be successful in having the phrase “In God We Trust” removed from U.S. currency.
“Those words are an endangered species,” Kreuscher said. “You might take it off the money, but you can’t take away my name.”

[From me]
Actually, I would love my name to be changed to Barnabas. In the Bible a name change signified a life change or described the person’s actions. Joseph’s name was changed to Barnabas because he was an “encourager.” I can’t think of a better name to have?
What name would you change yours to if possible?
