POTD: Triptych

I recently noticed this set of posters during my bus ride home.


Jesus' statement that he is the way, the truth and the life; Macbeth's blood-covered hands; and an admonition that Smoke Kills--lots of life and death going on at this street corner.

POTD: Easter Eggs

Chocolate eggs are as ubiquitous in Ireland at Easter as mince pies are at Christmas. Sharon and I both received Easter eggs today at work. I'm very happy about mine.

POTD: Limbs

Even though it snowed today, Spring will win out.

POTD: Midnight Oil

Sharon's burning it in preparation for our US tour.

POTD: Beans

Bill shelling broad beans (aka fava beans) from the Red Stables market for a broad bean and asparagus risotto.

POTD: Stone Mason

A stone mason at work on a wall at St. Anne's Park.

POTD: Flan

We had the Sterlings over for dinner, and they brought dessert: Kaluha flan. Thanks, guys!

POTD: Worship Prep

I'm leading worship at church on Sunday. This is where I usually do my prep: on the living room floor.

POTD: Pastries

Pastries at La Boulangerie on Camden Street.

POTD: Salade Niçoise

One of our favorite salads, especially with Ortiz Bonito del Norte tuna. I make it with asparagus in deference to Sharon's dislike of green beans.

POTD: Mustard Seed

On Monday nights I go out with the Mustard Seed Team to take sandwiches and tea to the homeless on the streets. Here we are heading out to our first stop at Cedar House.

POTD: The Strand

Bill and I ran the kids out to the Strand for a quick visit this morning while Dave and Ramona were packing (and cleaning to make it look like they were never here--didn't know they were doing that!).

POTD: Photog

This photographer was spotted today on the streets of Dublin.

POTD: NCH

Picture of the National Concert Hall on my way home tonight. The hall installed multi-colored lights recently. It's still wearing green for St. Patrick's day.

POTD: Temple Bar

Good times in Temple Bar.

POTD: Guinness

Bill visited the off license today to pick up some stout for a Beef and Guinness pie, and any thirsty people that might show up. He felt like a Dub waiting outside the off license until it opened at 12:30.

POTD: County Cork

Today POTD features two guest photos from the Rices' trip to Cork.

Waiting the for train in Cobh.

Here Watson is communing with a statue called "Reflection."

POTD: Best Chips in Raheny

In addition to a tasty Singapore noodle and prawn toast, Raheny Chinese makes pretty amazing chips.

POTD: The Exchange

Today was the monthly celebration service where all three congregations in the Trinity Church Network meet together in the Gardiner Street location. Built as a church in 1839, this building housed the Dublin Labour Exchange (i.e., unemployment office) for many decades. Our church bought the building in 2006 and last year completed a major restoration project.

POTD: Seals

I'm taking a chance and posting the picture of the day a bit early, but really, how can you beat the Rices feeding the seals in Howth?
