Who Should Go to Seminary?

Excellent post here by Scott Clark on the subject of who should go to seminary.

I Want a New Title

In honor of the Huey Lewis song from the mid-80's, I want a new title...a new title for my blog, that is.  My wife and I have been talking lately about possible new titles for her blog and also for the blog of someone she's trying to get to start a blog, and now I want in on the action.  So for my huge following of readers out there who enjoy reading my one post per month, if you have any ideas please send them my way.
