Better than Oxyrhynchus Papyri
The Oxyrhynchus Papyri may be the exciting news in ancient texts… but I think I might be able to rival it. I have uncovered the lost letters of Trapper Mark. This rare collection dates back to his high school and courtship days. Included are songs and poems, laments (lots of these), letters of admonition and correction, letters of thanksgiving, and a few St. Mark letters (written to the Christians back home while he was at school and doing ministry in the inner-city of St. Louis). Some even have ancient inscriptions (one appears to be a rapture diagram).
Unfortunately, history repeats itself. Just as the Dead Sea Scrolls suffered denial of early widespread release after their discovery due to political pressure, so too, have I come under tremendous pressure to keep these documents unpublished. Drat.
Unless perhaps I allow a bidding war…

I forgot about the trombone! Yes, that would be a good one to put up.

This could be the new “send money to save the rabbit” website. People pay to have my old love letters published. I might be willing to go for that if it could get us through seminary without having to work jobs too.
