How and why did you choose your user name?
My user name is Diakonos.
Diakonos (dee-ah’-koh-noss) is Greek for “servant”, and is used in the Bible to describe helping others in a selfless manner. The English language derives the word “deacon” from this term found in the New Testament. Depending on the context of the scripture, diakonos can have one of three meanings: deacon (which I happen to be), servant or minister.

Penguin is my COPE (Chalenging Outdoor Personal Experience) name, after a week of hard work (climbing, rapelling, a bunch of ropes courses, it was fun, but hard) I got to pick a name, I picked Penguin, I don't know why, I've always liked the animals, but for no particular reason. The number part is my birthdate jumbled up a little bit

Theofilus (that's the Icelandic spelling) is mentioned twice in the New Testament. The books of Luke and Acts were both written to him. (Isn't it illegal to read other people's mail?) His name can be interpreted as "friend of God" or "God-lover" or "the one who God loves". I hope I am all three.

Grace is free, but it is not cheap.
