What’s with the name free_key.com?

What’s with the name free_key.com?
The ‘.com’ is meant to represent that we are a community – not a family.  We’re too big and diverse to be a family.  Members of a family share a common heritage and background – but we have many heritages and this fact makes us all very different.  A family lives together by circumstances of birth; we live together by choice.  A community is a bunch of people all trying to live together – and it’s not always easy.  To do it we’ve got to get right with each other.
 
What about the ‘free_key’ bit?
What we’re about here is getting right with God and getting not too bad with each other.  As Romans 5: 7-11 tells us Christ has made it okay, made us all right with God.  More than just all right – we are friends with God through Christ. Paul goes on to say in verse 18 ‘the one righteous act sets all humankind free’ – we are free through Christ.  Through Christ we have life, peace and hope  We are free through the grace of God.  Grace = the free, unearned, unconditional love and forgiveness of God.  Grace is the ‘key’ – we are ‘free_key’ people.
 
We are also ‘freaky’ people – don’t panic, it just means unique, rare or unusual, remarkable, an ‘only one of’.  Each of us is unique and therefore unusual, remarkable, and . . . well, freaky.  We each have our individual weirdness, it’s all weird – there is no normal.  We are the beauty of the world- all the freaky people make the beauty of the world (Michael Franti).  All the freaky, free_key people make the beauty of the world.
