New Site and Sermons
Hello all,
I have started a secondary blog to contain sermons and any other long documents that I post. This allows me to keep the length of posts down on the main blog while still adding sermons and stuff.
Here are the links to the first two sermons.

Michael Phelps is Awesome
In a quote from a satirical article talking about how the gold medals being given out at the Olympics may have high quantities of lead in them.
"I am very, very concerned about my extensive contact with gold medals," Mr. Phelps told reporters. "But what am I supposed to do? Stop being so awesome?"

Codex Sinaiticus
Quick Post here.
They have started to put the Codex Sinaiticus online. This is one of the oldest copies of the Christian Bible in Greek including old and new. Most complete Greek versions of the New Testament used to translate into English are prepared from this codex.

WYLS
What is WYLS?
I have mentioned WYLS a couple times in my last couple of posts. It stands for Wartburg Youth Leadership School. I worked on the staff for the school this summer as a counselor. There were two sessions the first with 16 youth and the second with 9. Both were great, but with different dynamics and personality.
During the school there were many different activities, but the ones where we worked the most closely with them was planning service ministry projects that the students complete when they get back from the school. We work with them to put together a plan of action and also to help brainstorm different obstacles that may arise and how they can identify the gifts they have to solve these obstacles.
I worked with two guys in the first session, both wanting to work with organizations helping people overseas. The first we came up with the idea to have a car wash and a walk-a-thon to raise money to give to an organization called Freedom Water they build wells in Africa. The second was working to either get a group of people together to make food packages or to get enough people to have the organization come to him in his home town. The organization is called Feed my Starving Children and works by creating food bundles that volunteers put together and then sending them to places in Africa that need food.
The second session I worked with one girl. She is planning a music festival that will be held in the parking lot of her church, the money raised by the festival she hopes to be able to send to orphanages in Siberia. This could be a problem as the news program that she first saw about these organizations said that the government was not allowing money to get to the orphanages. We are hopeful that some method can be found however. The festival itself will be a fun project, I encouraged her to contact other local churches, she is also from the Twin Cities area and attends a church close to my home church, and also Luther Seminary to find musicians and to get more people to come to the fest. We are hopeful that it could turn into an annual event.
All in all, it was a great experience, I met a bunch of great youth and got to know the other staff a lot better.

Doctor Who
K, over my break between WYLS Sessions (essentially the July 4th weekend) I was planning on reading, I however made the mistake of watching the last half of a Doctor Who episode on SciFi Channel and now am obsessed. Enjoy a YouTube video of good quotes and scenes from the show.
The GhostBusters line is the best.

WYLS
It's been awhile.
I just got done with my first session of being a counselor at WYLS, Wartburg Youth Leadership School and have a week and a half off until the second session begins, and then I start packing for internship.
I wanted to share a clip that one of my professors used during the school.
