Blogs are like socks.When you first get a pair, they're wonderful. You use them all the time.There's even a slight hype surrounding the newness of it.But then it gets old...I want to thank all of you who have frequented this blogspot :-)If you have enjoyed my constant ramblings, please now direct your browsers and bookmarks to...christopherlazo.comThis will be the new sock. Enjoy its warmth.

If you are between 18-30, come to Adorn this Friday at 5:30 for Angelo's carne asada tacos. His reputation is preceded only by Jesus Christ. But of course... both usually come on Friday nights:-)Hope to see you there!

As you may be aware, Rev. Fred Winters was shot dead behind his own pulpit roughly a week ago at his church in Illinois by 27 year old man, Terry Sedlasek.What you may not have heard is this excerpt from the AP:First Baptist Associate Pastor Mark Jones said one of the church's pastors visited with Sedlacek's family Monday."We actually pray for him," Jones said.http://news.aol.com/article/

[UPDATE]:We have a carpool system in place at Westmont. If you need a ride to Adorn on Friday nights, just be at Kerrwood Hall at 6:20pm, and wait for a car to pull up.We are working on systems for UCSB and SBCC.

I had only been at my workplace, and spent the majority of the time studying. It can only be in a handful of places, and yet my 2 day search left me phoneless. I even backtracked to the place I ate lunch to see if perhaps I left my phone on the seat (I knew I didn't). I borrowed my friends phone and began calling myself from every room in the building, but to no avail. Finally, I sat in the

For those of you who couldn't make our wedding, here is the footage if you wanted to watch me kiss the girl:-)It's 30 minutes long (including the slideshow at the beginning).

And this is where we're staying...We probably won't be able to update this blog every day. But we'll try to throw something along every now and then ;-)-CiaoChris and Brianna Lazo.

As many of you know, I have been keeping our destination a secret from Brianna until the day we were to leave.I've timed this blog entry to post once we are on the plane, which means that at this moment, we are on the way to Rome, Italy. We will be staying there for 5 days at Empire Palace, after which will will hop a train to Florence where we will be spending the remaining 4 days in a hotel

Do you remember this picture? Of course you don't! These were the baptisms in 2007, and it was my first time being out in the water with the other pastors. You don't know this (obviously), but I was having a hard time baptizing people. Ryan was across the water from me, and he kept jokingly making motions to me about the girl in the "black shirt" on the shore. You see, I had begun liking you that

A photo of mine (below) was recently introduced in the Santa Barbara Magazine (above) this month, in appreciation of the band, Dominic Balli. I remember as a first year Brooks student, slaving over my craft for an introductory assignment labeled after the title of this prestigious coffee table mag. Although my photo only garnered an area in the magazine the size of a large thumbnail, the victory

This year was my first year pastoring the new college gathering at Reality Carpinteria on Friday nights, which means, it would also be my first year running the college camp we put on annually. Over 350 people were there last weekend, to worship the King of Glory. The gathering that meets on Friday nights is called Adorn, and is where our retreat adopted its theme for the year. © Becky Schwartz

I've been following the response to a post by a friend on Facebook, on Prop 8.It's an ongoing conversation between those who are voting "no," and those who are voting "yes." Those on this thread who are voting "no" hold the position that Prop 8 is hateful and discriminatory propaganda. That's ok; they are fully entitled to their opinion, and their vote. But observe some of the reasons they

For those of you who stick to this one blog of mine ;-)You may be unaware that a college gathering has started at Reality Carpinteria (my church). It meets every Friday night at 7:00pm, with prayer meetings every Tuesday night.

Do you ever catch yourself in a discussion in which you are devoting so much effort into getting to the bottom of a particular issue...only to ask yourselves how you got into that conversation to begin with?I recently had a blogersation with an anonymous fellow who was trying to convince me of things I never thought would desire convincing. Oh the things that spark dialog. (Sigh).
