Jon and I certainly resonated with Sarah Young’s closing devotional thoughts including this one:
When My Presence is the focal point of your consciousness all the pieces of your life fall into place. As you gaze at Me through the eyes of your heart, you can see the world around you from My perspective. The fact that I am with you makes every moment of your life meaningful (Young 41). Amen!

We thought we were going to an animal park South of the campus, Currimbim, but the school van wasn’t available so we grabbed buses and went into Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. We enjoyed it immensely! The pictures tell it well.

| Lorikeets. Aren't they stunning? Seems like God finished creation in Australia -- with flare! |

The pictures below are all taken in the porch-like area behind a restaurant called "The Sleeping Koalas Cafe". Someone told us they sleep up to 23 hrs. a day!
Back on campus this afternoon, we met with Jim Good, a special educator, who is doing a project for children with disabilities on a South Pacific Island and his wife Melinda. Then it will be supper, packing and to bed early as tomorrow is a VERY, VERY long day. We fly Brisbane to Seoul to LA to Seattle to Fairbanks – 36 hrs, but because we cross the international date line, only 12 hours will show up on our watches (36 on our bodies). Loved ones in Fairbanks, here we come!
I plan to write a closing blog but I'm not sure where or when...we'll see.
