In Nepal, Sherpas do more than just help climbers with gear as they ascent. They are expert guides, and famous for their mountaineering and climbing prowess. From years of living in the terrain, they are seasoned navigators. Even their hearts, blood, and lungs have adjusted enormously to better handle the issues of high attitudes.<\/p>\n<p>As we consider our journey with the Divine, we may picture it the same way. A Sherpa may enable and support you, but they cannot do the climb instead of you, while you stay behind. The adventure just wouldn\u2019t be the same. They may help you find the best path, give you life-saving information, or port your gear, but they can\u2019t beam you to the summit. That\u2019s not the point, so to speak, and it would spoil the escapade. Would you be a richer and wiser person if you were teleported to the peak of Mount Everest? Nah.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I just found a website that combines two great things: <a href=\"http:\/\/chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com\/\">adventure and chocolate<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-302\" title=\"singapore girl team\" src=\"http:\/\/lifeasprayer.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/06\/singapore-girl-team.jpg\" alt=\"singapore girl team\" width=\"200\" height=\"134\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A Belgian chocolate company <a href=\"http:\/\/www.acticoa.com\/\">Acticoa<\/a>\u00a0is visiting the Everest base camp, handing out chocolate samples to Sherpas, and promoting the cause they want to raise money and awareness for\u2013the Napal Mobile Hospital which provides medical care to those living in remote places.
