http://serviceandadventure.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Lynnea's Year of Service and Adventure. Saturday, November 21, 2009. Question: What happens when a group of young adults all raised in the PC(USA) find themselves in a club in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and The Proclaimers’ “500 Miles” suddenly begins to blare from the speakers? Answer: They jump up from their seats, make an empty spot on the not-quite-a-dance floor, and proudly start doing the accompanying energizer! I can tell you, it’s way. Monday, November 9, 2009.

Lynnea's Year of Service and Adventure: Twenty-Four Days In...
http://serviceandadventure.blogspot.com/2009/09/twenty-four-days-in.html
Lynnea's Year of Service and Adventure. Thursday, September 24, 2009. Alright, so it’s been almost a month (already! Since I arrived in Belfast. Time for an update! It’s funny the things I notice about being here, too. For example, I finally figured out what it was about the skyline that seemed so different: very few overhead wires. Instead of having electric poles every several dozen feet like is typical in the States, each block of row houses will. Just wait until winter! September 24, 2009 at 10:22 PM.

Lynnea's Year of Service and Adventure. Thursday, June 24, 2010. A Week in the Life. My friend and fellow YAV Deanna Drake. Most mornings I wake up about 8.30 or 9.00 and start the day with a short devotion.

Chris in Trivial Pursuit—you will lose! 1100am-4.00pm: A...

Mara's Kenyan Correspondance: December 2009
http://mforster-smith.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
A window into my year in Kenya and around East Africa. Tuesday, December 15, 2009. Christmas Time in Kenya. I suppose there are a few reminders that Christmas is approaching and that the holiday season is finally here. For one, the shopping malls in Nairobi are decorated with Christmas lights. Just the other day as I was shopping at a shoe store in town, I actually saw a Kenyan. I'll be with you in spirit. Thursday, December 10, 2009. While I've already written about my exposure to situations of severe p...

Lynnea's Year of Service and Adventure. Sunday, September 27, 2009. Hiking in Northern Ireland. So, imagine, if you will, that you are hiking Roan Mountain, starting at Carver's Gap and going up to Jane Bald. (If you've never done this particular hike, I'm sorry; imagine a very large hill covered in scrub grass and small bushes. Everyone else.got it in your head? Great fun. Add in the occasional sinkhole and jumping the odd barbed-wire fence and you've pretty much got our morning. Why am I here? Alright,...

Lynnea's Year of Service and Adventure: January 2010
http://serviceandadventure.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Lynnea's Year of Service and Adventure. Sunday, January 24, 2010. Jesus called them together and said, ‘You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,. And whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.’ Matthew 20:25-28.
