SILLY EVERST CLIMBERS!!

JUST  FINISHED  WATCHING  THE  MOVIE  "EVEREST  -  The True Story of the 1996 Mount Everest Disaster that Killed Eight Climbers."

IT  TAKES  WEEKS  TO  GET  TO  THE  TOP....STOPS  ALONG  THE WAY  FOR YOUR  BODY  TO  ACCLIMATIZE.  WALKING  ACROSS  LADDERS  PLACED  ACROSS  CREVASSES.

THE  LAST  3,000  FEET  KNOWN  AS  "THE  DEATH  ZONE"  -  A  SLIDE  OF  A  MILE  AND  THEN  A  DROP  INTO  A  BOTTOMLESS  CREVASSE,  IF  YOU  MAKE  A  FATAL  ERROR.

JUST  ABOUT  NO  AIR  UP  AT  27  TO  29  THOUSAND  FEET.

WINDS  CAN  COME  UP  OUT  OF  THE  BLUE,  AND  TEMPERATURES  COULD  THEN  GO  AS  LOW  100  BELOW  ZERO.

150  PEOPLE  HAVE  DIED  CLIMBING  MOUNT  EVEREST.

AS  ONE  MAN  SAID,  "THE  HUMAN  BODY  WAS  NOT  DESIGNED  TO  LIVE  UP  HERE."

IT  LEAVES  ME  NUMB  WITH  DISBELIEF  THAT  PEOPLE  WOULD  BE  AS  SILLY  AND  RECKLESS  AS  TO  WANT  TO  CLIMB  MOUNT  EVEREST.

OBVIOUSLY  THEY  AIN'T  CHRISTIANS  READING  THE  BIBLE.

OUR  BODIES  ARE,  THE  NEW  TESTAMENT  SAYS,  THE  "TEMPLE  OF  THE HOLY  SPIRIT"  SO  DOING  SUCH  THINGS  AS  CLIMBING  EVEREST  WOULD  BE  A  NO  BRAINER  FOR  A  TRUE  CHRISTIAN..... YOU  WOULD  NOT  THINK  OF  DOING  IT!!  SIMPLE  AS  THAT.

IT  IS  LIKE  "FORMULA  ONE"  RACE  CAR  DRIVERS  -  TWO  ARE  KILLED  EACH  YEAR.  SOME  THINGS  ARE  JUST  WAY  TOO  DANGEROUS  TO  DO  JUST  FOR  THE  "FUN  OF  IT"  OR  FOR  SOME  "PERSONAL  EGO  TRIP."

SUCH  THINGS  AS  TRYING  TO  CLIMB  MOUNT  EVEREST  IS  JUST  PLAIN  CRAZY,  SILLY,  AND  STUPID  BEYOND  ALL  MEASURE.

THE  ETERNAL  GOD  IS  NOT  PEASED  WITH  SUCH  HUMAN  FOLLY  OF  MIND.
