Australia
Impossible to update on a regular basis.
Internet is slow and only on campus (10-15 min walk from our cottage)
Been busy with classes, traveling, exam-ing and all that hoopla.
Been to Sydney, Cairns, Queensland, Manly, Great Barrier Reef, Katoomba Falls, The Three Sisters, Soldiers Beach and so on and so forth.
Met some lovely Aussies and will post some photos.

May 9th2 notes
Australia Day 1
I don’t even want to talk about the ridiculously long flight here but as soon as I touched down on Australian soil… man oh man.
People are really friendly, their accents wonderful, and everyone is generally attractive.
I would love to stay here forever listening to the wonderful accents!
Came into the library to study; if only JWL had guys who looked like this….

"I’ve learned to value failed conversations, missed connections, confusions. What remains is what’s unsaid, what’s underneath. Understanding on another level of being."Anna Kamienska, from A Nest of Quiet: A Notebook (translated by Clare Cavanagh)

"In science there is a dictum: don’t add an experiment to an experiment. Don’t make things unnecessarily complicated. In writing fiction, the more fantastic the tale, the plainer the prose should be. Don’t ask your reader to admire your words when you want them to believe your story."Ben Bova (via amandaonwriting)

"The badge of Christianity is not an outward sign, not the wearing of a cross or a crown, but it is that which reveals the union of man with God. By the power of His grace manifested in the transformation of character the world is to be convinced that God has sent His Son as its Redeemer. No other influence that can surround the human soul has such power as the influence of an unselfish life. The strongest argument in favor of the gospel is a loving and lovable Christian."MHH 275.4

Disappointment
I’ve never been so disappointed in people before.
To see the judgement from people…
My friends struggle with issues, they try to give control to God, yet it’s those who profess to be Christians, those who claim to love God, those who claim to follow Christ that are quick to judge and ignore what they might be going through. It’s really sad to see that they don’t bother to offer prayer, or words of encouragement and throw sarcastic remarks about their behavior or actions.
Shame on them. Shame on you. Shame on me.
