We have [had] (date change to Fall 2009) an event coming up once again this year and it’s always an exciting time at CSP with the fun activities! This event is known as EXPLORING CHURCH CAREERS!!!!!!! It is also a time to reflect on this school year and the things accomplished - figuring out where our lives are headed.

One of the exciting opportunities I had last year was to show the students attending Exploring Church Careers what life is all about at Concordia! Here’s a snapshot of “Exploring the Cities!”

For more info on the next EXPLORING CHURCH CAREERS (November 13-14, 2009), click here!

Hey heartsupport community, I’m so stoked to tell you about this email we received from Barrett, a student at Concordia University in St. Paul, Minnesota. He writes:

“My friend, Emmanuel, is finishing up his senior art project. I did not know until yesterday what the theme of his project was. One of his pieces includes the creation of forty hearts (forty for the number of trial in the bible) in a postsecret type fashion. Each heart will be unique from the other 39. This led me to ask what he was going to do with the hearts when he was done. He was thinking about selling them and donating the money to a charity. I told him about the heartsupport community. He seemed intrigued and was willing to raise money for the community.”

Emmanuel sent over some images of the project and the exhibit is amazing to say the least. He is currently working on posting the hearts up for individual sale to raise funds for heartsupport!
We’re all pretty stoked and blown away to say the least and we’ll be posting a link to the [he]art sale as soon as they’re ready. Below are some images from the exhibit.

My name is Ryan Coenen and I attend Concordia University of St. Paul with Manny and he’s an incredible guy! The exhibit was very intriguing and inspiring to say the least.

This is a great organization along with XXXchurch. I was glad to hear that Barrett & Manny were doing something great to help others. It is my hope to be working with XXXchurch this summer!

Thanks for posting!!

There is no “L” in Woves…
The Minnesota Timberwolves have one of the worst records in the NBA…and as it turns out, they also have the worst spelling. Last month, the Timberwolves sponsored a “Sam Mitchell Appreciation Night” in honor of their team’s first star. It was also “Reading to Succeed” night, which would turn out to be rather ironic. Prior to tip-off, the Wolves handed out posters of Mitchell wearing an a ‘Woves’ jersey. That’s right: WOVES…missing the L. The Timberwolves front offices gave out 10,000 posters of Sam Mitchell wearing a jersey that is misspelled. How a team that racks up more “L’s” than most in the league can forget that letter is difficult to understand.

“Flying car goes to market”
A Boston-area company plans to begin flight tests this year of a two-seater airplane that moonlights as a car. The illustration shows the aptly-named Transition aircraft, wings partially unfolded, as it shifts from road-worthy to air-worthy. The vehicle carries a price tag of $194,000. You sit down behind the steering wheel, drive to the runway, unfold two wings and take off. You can fly 500 miles on a tank of gas — regular unleaded — and when you land, you simply fold up the wings and drive where you want to go. At the end of the day, you fly back, drive home and park inside your garage. Read the whole story here!

“Woman finds 139-year-old baseball card in box of antiques”
Last summer, Bernice Gallego pulled an old baseball card from a box of antiques. She figured it might be worth something to someone, so she listed it on eBay. The starting bid was $10. But after getting a flurry of inquiries about whether the card was authentic or not, Gallego started to suspect she was holding something a little more valuable and immediately ended the auction. Turns out her hunch was correct. She did have something more valuable. The card she found was made in 1869 and featured the “Red Stocking B.B. Club of Cincinnati,” the sport’s first professional team. It’s considered one of the first baseball cards ever produced and its actual value could be worth more than $100,000 when she puts it back on eBay (with a higher starting price, of course). Read the whole story here!

Well done, Mr. Ryan Coenen…I am in 100% agreeance with you. I started watching Prison Break when it first came out and have been following it ever since. It is the only show that I have to watch every week. If you haven’t started watching it, I also recommend you do so.Ryan and Andy give it two thumbs up! Read what Ryan had to say below!

Hey all. I’ve stuck it out with this thing. Sorta. School’s about to start and another round of Freshly Squeezed is here. I guess it’s time to do the obligatory “What I did this summer” essay.

I was a member of the student company of Theatre L’Homme Dieu, an old, rustic theatre on Lake L’Homme Dieu, which lies just outside of Alexandria, Minn. (It’s pronounced luh-HA-muh-dew; the French just gets butchered up north) There, I spent ten weeks acting, painting, building, eating, and some karaoke-ing. (more…)

This is a new segment entitled “Wyss’ Pieces” featured on my campus television show “Concordia Spotlight.” In this episode, I wanted to test the geography knowledge of the students here at Concordia. The results were stunning to say the least!

For the past two months, I’ve been leaping inside the mind and body of Leslie the Lizard from Edward Albee’s “Seascape.”

This production is completely run by students. Tara did all the set construction. Greta did the lighting design. Jo did the brilliant costumes. Colby got the sound. Bri and Alex shouted out our lines when we screw them up (which manages to happen ALL the time, but that’s how live theatre goes). Rebekah managed to hone in on what’s going on and why the characters are saying what they’re saying. I’m astounded by this process. And for three nights, at about 100 minutes each time, all of those elements swirl together for the story. (more…)

This is a short video that I made for my Video Post Production class entitled: “The Dark Side of Peanut Butter” - Check it out!
