Here's an interesting link, its a search engine that finds all mention of the word sojourner in the Bible.
Here's another one in Hebrews; hey, look who he was sojourning with, "... dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob..."
Also, here is the verse that Michael and Nancy gave. In several versions, the word 'sojourner' is replaced with pilgrim. This is the entire chapter 11 and commentaries on this chapter about faith.
Is this intentional on Michael and Nancy's part? Choosing a name from a chapter speaking of Faith?

Wow! You did a lot of work on this! You got our meaning of sojourner right on.
BTW, we figured it had a better ring to it than "alien," and avoided the John Wayne jokes "pilgrim" was likely to result in.
Glad to hear you weathered the storm nicely--we look forward to hearing more about the new home and sitting on the deck soon.
Love you guys,
Michael and Nancy
Thanks for the definitions, Uncle Mark. What a lot of time to give us such a good background. He doesn't look like a "pilgrim" or a "prop" at all--he's so sweet and cuddly. However, I've seen how sweet and cuddly baby boys can turn out on a rugby field. Mom
