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. 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. From there it goes as follows; nothing profound or new or exciting, just the everyday, simple. 1030am-1.30pm: Work at Newington Day Centre, the pensioners’ centre in Holy Family Parish, to serve tea and toast, and then lunch (aka, dinner.).

http://serviceandadventure.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Lynnea's Year of Service and Adventure. Sunday, December 27, 2009. People have asked me how celebrating Christmas in my new home in Belfast is different from the celebrations back home State-side. Here's a short list of some of my favorite new traditions. I'm sure stories will follow, but for now I hope you enjoy! Mini-shrimp (yes, I know that’s redundant) drenched in a mayonnaise-based curry sauce and served on a bed of iceburg lettuce. Sounds kinda weird, but it’s actually quite good. This one actually...

Lynnea's Year of Service and Adventure. Wednesday, March 24, 2010. After nearly seven months on the Emerald Isle, working and living in what was once one of the most volatile and violent places on Earth, there is a recurring question that keeps popping up from back home: ‘Why is so much animosity still present in Northern Ireland? With as far as they’ve come, why is there still so much hatred? Was flown, worn, paraded, painted and displayed by nearly everyone. But even St. George’s Cross. It doesn’...

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.
