is going to be all about churches. The names of churches. The buildings that serve as churches. The billboards outside of churches. Of course, most of the time, in my opinion, they are nice and normal, but the beauty of a big city is the variety. Here in Chicago you can start a church in an old grocery store, your guest bedroom, or your car. It rocks. And someday I hope to document all this. But for now here is a photo of the outside of a church I walked past yesterday. It's disconcerting to see the Lord behind bars. (He was around the corner but I couldn't get a photo because there were people inside.) (I'll have to get braver with my photo taking.)

Now that I have the internet and seven hours of sleep
Here is a little list of highlights from our trip:
Long walks through Belfast.
The "pit" where the Titanic was painted.
Bus trip around the northern tip of Ireland.
London.
The Tower of London. (Scary place where they used to hold and execute prisoners such as Anne Boleyn, Thomas More, and Walter Raleigh. You can still see messages that the prisoners scratched into the walls. Creepy.)
The Globe theater where they were building the set for Romeo and Juliet. Sigh.
Riding the Tube and minding the gap.
Herrods Department Store. Never seen a place like this. You could buy anything here. Even a billiards table for 1,000,000 pounds. I think it used to be the queen's. (Okay. They have a queen. Isn't that wild?)

Troubles
This was outside our last hotel in Belfast. I'm not sure what day it is. I couldn't open any secure pages in Belfast last night so I post a comment on my own blog to count as a posted. Good grief. We're stuck in Cleveland right now. Snow in Chicago. What day is it?
