Travis Seitler is a twenty-something guy living in Marietta, PA with his wife and two kids. Since 2003 He's been writing here about God, government and comic books. You can read more about him if you really want to, and you're invited to drop him a line, like, whenever!
Wow, I like this! At least, I think I like it. It’s always hard to judge a parody when you’re unfamiliar with the original. I’ve been looking all over the Internet for the Cowboy Bebop intro theme this thing is a parody of, but I can’t find it.
“Class? Anyone? Anyone?”
UPDATE: Silly me! The guy included a link to the Cowboy Bebop intro on this piece’s profile page!
It just hit me the other day that Nicole and I are in a small-group Bible study (on steroids! it’s more like “cell-church lite”) with a Teacher of the Year, Miss Preakness 2006, and (I hope!) the future Harford County Sheriff:
On May 18th of this year, Jake Hollin was awarded Teacher of the Year at The John Carroll School. Jake is a devoted husband, father of four of the sweetest little girls I’ve ever seen, and he’s the leader of our little band of brothers and sisters. I think Jake sees blogs as a passing fad that only interests 13-year-old girls, 35-year-old perverts and political activists… but he’s also been John Carroll’s wrestling coach for a number of years, so I’m not going to mess with him!
If you’re even vaguely aware of the firestorm that’s erupted in the wake of Tim Challies’ review (with excerpt) of Mark Driscoll’s new book, Confessions of a Reformisson Rev., there are three posts you must read:
All three are thoughtful, grace-filled approaches to the issue.
Personally, I don’t really go for the cussing, but I think there’s far more serious issues being glossed over in the Church, and I really don’t see anything wrong with Driscoll’s (quoted) advice. I think that was probably far more helpful to the guy than any soft-spoken (read: girly) response could have been. I mean, there’s gentleness… and then there’s being a pansy. I think we need to treat men like men, and sometimes that means sounding “harsh.”
New Attitude is back, and they’re blogging live from the conference! I think that’s just cool. 
(HT: Adrian Warnock.) It looks like a pretty nice conference; I guess I’ll have to get the session CDs once they’re made available.
In addition to the official blog, Carolyn McCulley, Jenn Romanski and Brent Thomas are liveblogging the event.
However, in a shocking turn of events, it was revealed to attendees that C.J. Mahaney stepped down as senior pastor of Covenant Life Church in Gaithersburg, MD in order to prepare for his starring role in next season’s new sci-fi series, Stargate: T4G. Mahaney will reprise his role as Jean Luc Picard, a 24th century starship captain sent 300 years in the past to lead a 21st century ragtag special ops crew into the Delta Quadrant to prevent the rise of an alien race known as the Borg. (And if you don’t believe me, ask Agnax, whose post I discovered while typing this!)
I’m subscribed to an e-mail list run by Revival School, and I just received a great one from them! This is quoted from Chapter 5 of A.W. Tozer’s Paths to Power. It was published in 1911… but it seems just as applicable almost a century later!
