Lawrence's Ramblings: Holy Saturday
http://lawrencesramblings.blogspot.com/2011/04/holy-saturday.html
Saturday, April 23, 2011. Some times I sit and wonder what it must have been like for the followers of Christ on the day between Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. But no, instead, I imagine there was silence. I imagine that they all sat together, each in their own world as they remembered what had just happened to their teacher and friend. I would imagine quiet sobs sounding throughout their fellowship as each sought to find a way to deal with his death. I imagine a world that was not ready. I have a ...

Lawrence's Ramblings: Why St. Patrick's Day is Important to Me
http://lawrencesramblings.blogspot.com/2010/03/why-st-patricks-day-is-important-to-me.html
Wednesday, March 17, 2010. Why St. Patrick's Day is Important to Me. Saint Patrick's Day is a great holiday because you get to wear green, listen to great irish music and reflect on the man behind the holdiay- the great missionary, Saint Patrick. But March 17 is much more than Saint Patrick's Day to me. On March 17, 2002, I got baptized at Olive Chapel Baptist Church in Apex, NC. This was a great day! I still remember going under the water that day and then, as I came up, slipping on the floor of the bap...

Thursday, November 25, 2010. Thanksgiving Festivities and The Top 10 Things I am Thankful for this Year. So today is Thanksgiving: turkey, string beans, stuffing and potatoes (though I do love ham on Thanksgiving! Heather and I headed to Pilot (Heather's parents) for Thanksgiving dinner like we have since we started dating. This is the first year that I have not eaten Thanksgiving with my mom and siblings- they live too far away right now! That being said, what am I thankful for this year? Life - I am th...

Sunday, February 28, 2010. Final Day of SYMC 2010. This has been an amazing weekend! There really are no words to describe this experience. The things I learned have been so great and I can't wait to take them home and find ways to implement them into my youth ministry! What an awesome thing to be able to experience first hand. I need to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who got us here- whether through financial things or by prayer- I think it will pay off in our group in the future. I hope I can ret...

http://lawrencesramblings.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 25, 2010. Summer break is finally here! Well, break from school any way)! I am glad to have no papers to write, no tests to study for. it feels like FREEDOM (even if it is only a few months of it! I say summer break is a break from school because everything else goes into full swing over the next few months. Also in June, we are headed to Savannah, GA for our youth mission trip- the first ever! The weekend we move is also Youth Sunday and so we will be very busy! After we move, we get to set...

Lawrence's Ramblings: January 2010
http://lawrencesramblings.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 29, 2010. To Save A Life. This past weekend, I took the youth group to see the newly released movie, "To Save A Life." (To see the trailer, look at the widget below.). The movie presents a lot of the issues that teens are dealing with today such as: suicide, cutting, depression, drugs, alcohol, abortion, and divorce. These things were eye-opening for many across the country and many in my group, but that is not the thing that struck me the most. In a world where churches are losing studen...

Lawrence's Ramblings: January 2011
http://lawrencesramblings.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 08, 2011. Student Ministry, New Year and New Chances. Because it is a new year. Technically, nothing is different about January 1- the sun still rises and sets, we still go about our daily schedules. the only thing that really changes is the date we write down on assignments and checks. Yet, there IS something different about January 1. This day gives hope to many because it is a chance to say, "you know what? Last year could have been better and because of that, this year WILL. I don&#...

Lawrence's Ramblings: April 2011
http://lawrencesramblings.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 24, 2011. The Day After Resurrection Sunday. So the cat is out of the bag! So to speak) HE IS RISEN! No longer do his followers sit engulfed in sadness and no longer does his body lay in the tomb- he is alive! Gone is the hopelessness of just 24 hours ago, gone is the fullness of the tomb and the emptiness of their hearts, and gone is the doubting and the confusion of how to go on. Their Savior is alive again! Does the Resurrection stir up this kind of passion within you? Links to this post.
