Hi everyone

Hi everyone, hope you are all well. Don’t get too close to me, I’ve got a bug or virus and I keep sneezing. Six or seven sneezes in a row gets beyond a joke.

I had hoped to finish a drawing I’m working on for someone today, but then I get to sneezing and sneezing. I can’t look at the drawing when I sneeze or it would make a mess. I can’t draw while I’m looking away, or that would be even worse and I can’t keep the pencil on the paper when I sneeze either or...

Well, I’m sure you get the picture. Lol

Anyway, I looked at this photo of Huka falls in New Zealand. It's basicly the run-off from a hydro dam. Well, I got to wondering how much power is in a sneeze. Could a sneeze be harnessed and used to produce elecitricity?

If so, how many sneezes would be needed to run a light? Imagine trying to harness enough sneezes to power a whole city or even an electric train? And what would they have to do to keep people sneezing? eek.

Another thing I thought of as I looked at this photo, was the awesome power of God's love. There is nothing to compare with the love of our Lord. Water can seep through a tiny gap, it can mold and shape the earth, but it can't mold and soften a heart of stone. Only the love of God can do that.

Excuse me, I got to go and sne... sne... sneeze.

    the power of a sneeze, is very powerful, Something I remember from school, if you hold back a sneeze you could bust your ear drums,

    I love that picture, and your thought on the power of God's love.
    praying that you get well soon!

    thanks for stopping by my place

    Curm, oh no. Did I do that? Oh my, I am so sorry. Please forgive me? I promise the next time I sneeze, it won't be in the direction of Seattle.


    Michelle? Did you catch a drift of my sneezes too? Oh my. What am I to do? I always knew I had a good set of lungs, but I had never imagined they were that strong.

    Next time the wind blows strong over in America you'll know I just sneezed.

    Your idea on sneezing to harness energy is a brilliant idea, I think that they should create sneeze factories so that when a person is sick, they do not have to go home, instead! their employer or teacher or whatever! just calls in the sneeze agents to come and pick up the sick individual and transport him to the factory where his sneezes can be put to good use, and once they are well again, they can be put back into society, THAT way we can be using human beings as efficiently as possible without waste lol...

    :D

    SNEEZE ENERGY FOR ALL! WOOP WOOP

    Rulan,
    I pray you are better by now. As one who suffers from allergies, I know well the power of sneezes. I heard the CIA already has factories that harness sneezes and coughs to determine if they can use the force in case we need it. Believe that? I also have a bridge I'll sell you; cheap!
    Feel better, girl!
