Michael Denton, a noteworthy defender of the faith and avid fan of both NASCAR (especially the Earnhardts) and Star Wars, has become the third man to lead the Parousian Guard of LSU. Michael's quick wit, boyish charm, and superior attention to details will serve the Parousians well. Philip de Mahy and I have complete confidence that Michael Denton is the Parousians' man for the moment, quite a statement considering the moment we're living in now. Please offer him all your prayers and support.
Likewise, the Parousians owe a debt of gratitude to Philip de Mahy. College groups routinely suffer from turnover. What was once vibrant can immediately dissipate due to graduations and other departures, and it takes special effort to pass that vision on to rising classes. I doubt anyone in the Parousians, outside of originals like Ryan Hallford, Caleb Bernacchio, and myself, understand the unutterable vision of the Parousians as well as Philip. Some people may not know that Philip is in line to be a baron one day (I think that's really true even if Philip cannot remember the longer version of his family name), but he never suffered from aristocratic arrogance or the complacency of privilege. Philip shares that same heart for the ideas and the students we are trying to reach, and he has influenced many people to believe in that same vision. Philip is still overseeing the construction of the Parousian website, and now that he is freed of many oversight duties, Philip can have more time to do what he enjoys most - contemplating the things that really matter and spending time with the people who really matter - a list where the Parousians fortunately rank pretty high. We thank Philip for picking up the torch and passing it on without losing any fire along the way.

Star Wars and NASCAR? So Hyperspeed and drafting? That's too much speed for one person; no wonder he's already leading the group.
