GET IT RIGHT

Using trigonometric and GPS measurements, China and Nepal have agreed on a new height for Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak they share, at 29,032 feet — slightly higher than Nepal’s previous disputed measurement of 29,029 feet.

Then I read in the New York Times: “Mount Everest got a boost when China and Nepal announced a new measurement of the world’s tallest mountain: 29,031.7 feet, about three feet taller than previously thought.”

It was not 29,032 feet…it was 29,031.7… please get it right if you are going to get it. Measuring mountains is serious and important business.

It’s off over to my side of the pond to consider higher mountains and think higher thoughts about making the Red Mountain Journal a little higher. This will take some Cuban Coffee and Oatmeal Chia Cookies and a grain of mustard seed.

“If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” Jesus
