New Zealand!

We're getting closer. A long flight over the Pacific throughout the night. Wonderful service from the folks on Air New Zealand. Papua New Guinea is closer and prettier than ever (to paraphrase Dorothy). Traveling completely in darkness reminds me of Paul's exhortation:

Do all things without grumbling or questioning, that you may be blameless
and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and
twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to
the word of life -- Philippians 2:14-16
