To those thinking about joining the Concordia clan of St. Paul, make sure you enjoy everything the cities have to offer!
Here’s a little video edit of “Exploring the Cities” in 11 min!
- Here’s to you, Concordia!
In honor of recent weather conditions, I am pleased to share this beautiful mix with my readers:
As I have learned from my fourth grade class at Central Lutheran, 400 year old hymns can be pretty sweet to the ear even today - so why not a little afro and oldies to share the happiness of blue skies?
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!”

“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).

It’s been chilly the past two days. Fall is coming, and I love it. This transition is my favorite time of year by far. Hopefully we won’t have to turn the air conditioner on anymore at the apartment. (more…)
I was going to devote a whole post in honor of my appreciation of leftovers, but then my writing really annoyed and bored me, so you’ll have to miss out on that. But since I’ve been working nearly full-time and live in an apartment for the first time, I’ve come to understand the greater need to survive on leftovers. There, that’s all I’ll say about that.
