Poster Board Wednesday @ Crossroads

By -
Happy Thursday.



You know what today is: it's Blog Day!  "Hey Mike, mike, mike, mike, what day is it?  Blog day!"  I hope you are having a great week, and welcome to the Crossroads Blog.  I'm Wes Huntington, Communications Specialist for Crossroads.

This week's blog post has to do with the Poster Boards that some needed updated for Campus Ministry Sunday. This post's idea comes from Pastor Tammy herself, so thank her for this wonderful idea.

As stated just above, several of us were working on the poster boards for Campus Ministry Sunday, which will happen two weeks from Sunday (November 8).  We snagged a few people to stick around after Worship on Wednesday to help us update some of the information and photos, and include information about this blog, which your reading helps me (and Crossroads in general) reach a large audience.  We have 233 page views of this writing.  Keep it up!  If you guys have any other way to help me get a wider audience, let me know.  I can try and find some ways to get a wider audience.

The poster boards we have updated will be used for Campus Ministry Sunday.  I keep on mentioning it because I feel the need to drill it into your heads that it will happen in just two weeks.  It's coming up fast!

 This one was created by several of our students who spent over a half-hour planning where photos would go, and the background colors for the photos.  It's awesome that both posters include my photos of that sandwich board that said "Stay Calm and Join Crossroads" that I created that particular Thursday when NOTHING was scheduled to be at Crossroads.
This poster board was created by Katie Gieseke, our Worship leader, Katie Murphy and another student.    They used crayons to create borders.  Isn't that cool?

Finally, let me just say thanks for reading this blog.  Keep on reading it, keep on sharing it.  I want you to know that I love doing this as a part of my communications for Crossroads.  I love updating you on what is going on in the ministry, so in a sense it is a supplement to the weekly and supporters e-newsletter or the printed newsletter which will go out very, very soon!  Keep an eye out for it!   This is a great blog, and it is a pleasure to bring it to you every Thursday.  I am still open to suggestions for ideas, so please come to me with them.

Since tomorrow is a day off for all Minnesota State University, Mankato students and faculty, I will leave with you with a passage from Genesis.  Genesis chapter 2, verse 2 says: "By the seventh day, God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day, he rested from all his work." You should relax and take a load off.  Of course, tomorrow I have to update our weekly e-newsletter and do the Radio a La Carte show on KMSU/KMSK the Maverick, but other than that, I plan on relaxing.  This day off doesn't pertain to me either, as I haven't had a Friday class during the school year since last Fall, when I took a class called Acting for Everyone.  That's another story.

Okay, now I'm rambling, so I will say until next week, I'm Wes Huntington, signing off until next time.

The Dreamer

      Today, we remember one of the greatest men to have ever walked this earth. As an American, few can hold a candle to him. He sought equal rights for all, he fought for nonviolence, and among all this he was a preacher. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. hopefully will be remembered by all Americans for many years to come and, we hope, that his dream may be fulfilled. From the moment he was born to the moment he was assassinated on that hot April morning in 1968, Dr. King also practised what he preached. I encourage all of you who read this to look up many of Dr. King's sermons on YouTube. He was an immaculate preacher who could grip your attention with the mountains and valleys of his voice. In a sermon called "But If Not", he tells all of us to have the same faith that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego did when they disrespected Nebuchadnezzar's order to pray to his golden statue. To have a "though faith" and not an "if faith", meaning to always believ...

The Tale of the Hate Preacher

Today on campus there were hate preachers in the CSU mall causing a lot of heavy sentiments to be thrown from both sides. The preachers undoubtedly chose today to do the demonstration because it is National Coming Out Day, and on the other side of the mall there was the LGBT community handed out popsicles and causing no trouble. Now friends, as you all know, Crossroads is friends with the LGBT community, and acts of hatred against them should be frowned upon by our community. A crowd began to gather around the hate preacher, who stood on top of stool to look down upon us, and from both sides hatred was in the air. I saw one of my friends, who in a big supporter of the LGBT community, light a cigarette and blow the smoke into his face. Shouts of anger and hatred were thrown at him.    I ask of my fellow brothers and sisters, that we not answer hatred with hatred. That is like trying to put out fire with fire, the fire only spreads. We must answer hatred with love, for with lov...

The Kingdom of God

One of the most famous passages from the Bible is Mark 10: 17-31. In it, a man walks up to Jesus and asks him what he must do to go to heaven. Jesus told him, "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven." At this the man went away sad, because he was wealthy. Then Jesus turned to his disciples and said, "How hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." When I heard someone bring this up in my political philosophy class, a began to think what would the kingdom of God would look like on earth. I think it would look a like an egalitarian society, with almost everyone having the same amount of possessions. The reason why I believe this is Jesus' frequent disdain for money and greed. Possessions seem to be the most frequent failing among human beings, causing us to sin. There would be no sin in the kingdom of heaven, thu...
