I Love The Google Doodle! - Mount Everest

I have never climbed anything very high, but what I have climbed has been an experience money cannot buy...Pen-y-Fan in South Wales is great but you can easily get lost in the sudden fog. Among other hills I also have been in the Andes (Peru) but the journey was done mostly by car! My father drove us up to the devastated earthquake area as he went to supervise some relief work. I will never forget the sounds and the sights, the scorpions and the very narrow mountain roads. If my little experiences have been exhilarating then what it must be like to climb up some of these wonderful mountains. Overwhelming and mind blowing comes to mind!

Ager (namesake) - Anger?!

I came across grrrr as a symbol for anger,
I don't think I can be considered an angry person -
only when it matters!
Why is Jesus angry in the above Bible reading?
...by the way, he is not the only one!

Special Dates in Christian Calendar - Pentecost

A Miracle! Yes, A Miracle!
God's Holy Spirit Came
And We Are Not The Same
For He Touched Us
And filled Us With His Love
(Iva Lou Samples)

The writer of this chorus joined The Salvation Army at the age of six. Much later, Iva (born 12 May 1946) became an officer - a full time minister - and wrote her first songs in the style of the 'Joy Strings'

The verses go like this...
I've felt a new and loving touch
Upon my heart and soul;
I've felt God's love and wondrous power
Descend and make me whole.

I now have seen his greatness,
I now can comprehend
The wonders of his matchless love,
A love that will not end.

I can't express by words alone
What he now means to me;
But O I want to shout to all
That Christ gives victory!

Through my research I noted that Iva whose song I am quoting this Pentecost, was born at this time of the year, and she tells us neatly what this special day is about. I like the words and catchy tune but would rather not shout to all! I can see what she means though!

I Love The Google! - Voting


Did you vote yesterday?
Many people in my town didn't because they say only one candidate delivered a leaflet, so they didn't have enough information to help them decide
What does this say about the voters and the candidates in my town?
