My First Day at the Pastor’s College

by Stephen Altrogge on August 29, 2008

This past Tuesday was my first day at the Sovereign Grace Ministries Pastor’s College. My good friend Bo Lotinsky, along with some other members of the staff, welcomed me to class by dragging my scooter (not moped!) from the parking lot and doing a little decorating. Needless to say, I got a good laugh, as did the rest of the class. Here’s some photos…

That’s pretty funny. Freinds are great, aren’t they?

Please tell me you will keep all the decorations on while you ride! Ooops – that will cause a loss of “man points”. Looking forward to hearing how the rest of your time there will be. Praying for you, Jen and Charis daily.

Cute and great way to welcome someone into the family at Pastor’s College! I love it! It would make me feel at home if that was to happened on me.

Have fun there but also learn, and learn to Preach the Word! (2 Tim 4:2)

The first day of school can be so nerve racking, but pranks like this are a great reassurance that you are one of the cool kids. :)

Stephen,

The very fact that you ride a moped, sorry, “scooter”, brings your post on “man points” into heavy suspicion. Most of us quit riding scooters when we were 12 or so…

Pretty funny though. Tell my friend Josh J I said what’s up.

Guerite – Definitely learning to preach the word!

Laedelas – You can thank my good friend Kyle for the gnome.

Aaron – Having the courage to ride a scooter in Gaithersburg traffic requires serious manpoints.

Nathan – Feel free to email me with your question! I tried to email you but your address didn’t work.

Well, I suppose that as long as you didn’t wear your Crocs to class you should still have at least a few ‘man points’ left. :-)

Julian – No Crocs…but I think I should have worn them. It would have fit better with the day…

I see the next Stephen Altrogge book title…”Everything I know about facial hair I learned from a gnome.” Are you still trying to grow that stuff?

Is it just me or does the scooter like a tad like WALL-E?

Troy – That gnome is jealous of my facial hair.

JT – No way dude, my scooter is way tougher…

Because of your response to this…

it’s apparent that your scooter isn’t your Goat.
