Truly when one surrenders onleesf, then He starts to re-enter in one's life. I too had my fair share of wake-up call. All the while when so many things are happening in one's life specially material things, one becomes blinded. Yet when such material things fade, one realizes that he is nobody. This is the time when God wakes us up. It was only when after so many struggles that I uttered the word Lord I surrender that I felt such divine transfusion. God indeed breathes LIFE. Thus from that time on I always think and work with God in every dealings I have. Always for the good of all.

Each time I look at these pictures I fall more in love with every dateil. We knew from their engagement session that working with these two was going to be an absolute joy on their wedding day. We had a

these are cute and all but I think you need alot more variety, I mean they are dtefneily cute, but how about ones with like multy colored spots with NO faeries, and different colored stripes with things other than faeries. Like make 2 sections, backrounds with neopets and backrounds with non neo things for shops, guilds, and user lookups. That way more people would like this site, boys and girls. Take my advice, I am not being mean I am just giving kind critisicm. More variety and you'll be well off. =]

OOPs: when i said that the sicklebill were the black, they were really the Brown Sicklebills! Sorry.

Many of the identifications in the photos are wrong. 1) male Stephanies Astrapia + male Black Sticklebill. 3) male Black Sticklebill + Smoky Honeyeater. 4 + 5) ok + Smoky Honeyeater. 7) male Stephanies Astrapia. 8) female Black Sticklebill. 13) male Black Sticklebill + Belford's Melidectes. 14 + 15) male Black Sticklebill.

Hi Guys - just read the blog and wondered whether Jacqui would be happy to mark my year 10 exams for me? As a favour for an old friend .... ?

Re: Ash ... We were stranded in Poland over Easter - briefly - but P and A had an extra 8 days in San Francisco!!

Anyway, despite the exam chaos I am sure you may have begun to w turn your attention to post PNG matters and we are looking forward to catching up to hear about your adventures and where you may be heading for next!

We find you, after 20years, and you have fled the country! What an amazing thing to do. You sound as if life is always exciting and very unusual.Hope to meet up again soon.

Our very best wishes

We've got our own potholes after the horrible winter! But there's still water in the taps and electricity in the plugs as it were, so you can still look forward to that.

Look forward to seeing you again.

It all sounds too familiar. At least it is never boring! Love to all.

Hi J and J

We have checked the blog several times in the last few weeks and were becoming a little concerned about the gap between blogs .. delighted it was nothing more serious than power problems!

You have clearly had an enjoyable break and spending extended time with members of the family must have been particularly pleasant. The whale watching sounds fantastic!

We were particularly struck by the conversations you described outlining the recent domestic difficulties and the potential for ongoing disputes and violence.

Unless we missed it we couldn't see if you had plans post holiday with Lisa and Simon .. or are you weighing up options?

Looking forward to hearing and seeing more ...

Be safe

Love from us both xx

Hi Jac and John

I happened upon your blog through a google search and have been an avid reader for the past few months. I lived in Wabag, Enga Province from 1982-4 when I was only 21. I married a much older man during my working holiday in Australia and he secured a job with works and supply having spent much of the 70s as an expatriate in the Highlands. I remember Wabag to be a beautiful and remote place but it always considered as way back. Your difficulties with water cuts, power cuts are very reminiscent of my time. There were also problems with the post when rascals held up the mail van, or one time the door to the van wasn't secured properly and several mail bags fell out on the journey from Mount Hagen to Wabag. I remember driving through Kundiawa a couple of times on journeys to Lae, it seemed like a proper town compared to Wabag with decent roads, shops, hotels.

Now I'm a teacher with 20 years experience and children nearly off my hands. I'm wondering about volunteering at some stage in the future and wonder what advice you would give. I'd love to return to PNG but not sure it's the right thing.
