My folks are here and though its been flat out- its also been alot of fun showing them what I do now, where i'll be working in a month or so and today...up at crack of dawm (again) to head to Blantyre for shopping! Tomorrow is both Good Friday and Mohammeds Birthday so it will be interesting spending it in Muslim/Chrisitan city. I pray it will be peaceful.
Well, as I consider what Easter means to me I want to share with you quote form my favourite book- written thousands of years ago, but shedding so much light on the life of Jesus:
Phillipians 5-11 - 5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
May you have a blessed Easter.

Happy Easter Rina,
My thoughts have been with you for your first Easter out of Aust for a while... I'm glad to read that your parents are there. It must seem almost like home, which is... where? Anyway, I hope you have a safe and celebratory weekend.

Hiya Kat! thanks for the well wishes- it was nice and fun and special and all that. Chameleons are cool eh? the only thing possibly cooler are Hippos. (im a sucker for mud dwellers) unfortunately the local population have a blind hate for both :( possibly cos hippos kill people that get in their way- but im not sure what the poor lil chameleons have done?! Hows uni? hope you're doing well- you cant be too bad judging by the current scrabble score :-P x
