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!”

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!!

You know I have mentioned LifeSkills a few times already and have spoken at a Benefit Dinner of over 250 people for them - well now is my time to REALLY delve into the man LifeSkills has taught me to be!!

This summer I have the opportunity to work for an organization called xxxchurch. Their website is xxxchurch.com and it is an organization that helps those who are struggling with the issues of pornography and gets people who are in the industry OUT of it!!!!!

It is my hope and prayer that this summer, 2009, will be the summer of a lifetime once again - which may lead me to hand out Bibles at porn conventions, speak, update webpages, photography, etc. This volunteer position is kind of up in the air with what I may be doing… all I hope and pray for now is that God may use me and my talents to help others who are struggling and work for a fantastic ministry.

Here’s an idea for you - subscribe to a daily devotional!  I have realized that for it to be any good you have to be into it!!  You have to WANT to read a devotional for it to be of any benefit for your spiritual life.  I have been blessed to listen to Q90fm online (my home radio station), which also points me to all kinds of spiritual food.  Check out q90fm.com today! 

 Here’s the daily devotional I received for today that I found JUST right, once again, for my life right now:

Your First Love

Revelation 2:4 & 5a
Nevertheless I have something against you, because you have left your first love.  Remember therefore where you came from and repent.
 
Sooner or later if you want the blessing of God on your life you will have to go back to the original plan He had for your life and that is for you to love Him totally and to give your life to Him completely!  No more of this attitude of; “well, I will give Him this area, but not my boyfriend or girlfriend or maybe it’s your children and then there is this addiction, I really don’t think I am ready to give Him that either, I mean what would I do if I gave it ALL to Him?”  That attitude just needs to be left on the side of the road and it is time to move forward!  How about instead asking Him today to show you what you haven’t given to Him?  Ask Him to help you to grow into being all you can be in your lifetime!  You might just shock yourself, let alone everyone around you if you allow Him to do everything He has planned for your life!  Trust me, it will be the ride of your life, there may be a few bumps in the road, but if you give them to Him as well it will all be good!  He can change your mourning into dancing!  Psalm 30:11, “You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.”  Ask Him to give you back your love for Him and the excitement of when you first gave your life to Him.  Start fresh today so you can have every blessing of God on your life!
