When I was a child, my parents idea of vacation was spending two weeks in a trailer by the lake with no running water. Here is me and my wife's idea of vacation.

“And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
– Joel 2:28-29 (NIV)
This passage in Joel was fulfilled during the birth of the New Testament church in the book of Acts. Notice that the outpouring of God’s Spirit occurred among men and women. There is no favoritism when it comes to God’s empowerment. It doesn’t matter if you are men or women, servants or masters. God is pouring his Spirit upon ALL people. This means that every one of us is needed if we intend to display the power and purpose of God.

A couple of weeks ago, I went to the VA for my eye exam. Seems wee elephant has been having problems in the seeing area.......sigh.
The Doctor (after my exam) told me that the good news was that (and I quote) "there is no sign of disease in either eye, and for someone your age, that is surprising. But, you really, really need glasses."
I laughed and told him, well, yeah, that's why I'm here.
Anyway, got my new eyes in the mail today, along with the report from the exam. Final results reveal:
Left Eye.............. x450
Right Eye........... x325
wee elephant really, really needed glasses......
Would like to add that of late, there have been a RASH of posts in teenie, tiny font.............SO, IF I DON'T READ YOUR COMMENT, you know why.

And it came to pass, while He blessed them, He was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
On the Mount of Ascension the Transfiguration is completed. If Jesus had gone to heaven from the Mount of Transfiguration, He would have gone alone; He would have been nothing more to us than a glorious Figure. But He turned His back on the glory, and came down from the Mount to identify Himself with fallen humanity.
The Ascension is the consummation of the Transfiguration. Our Lord does now go back into His primal glory; but He does not go back simply as Son of God; He goes back to God as Son of Man as well as Son of God. There is now freedom of access for anyone straight to the very throne of God by the Ascension of the Son of Man. As Son of Man Jesus Christ deliberately limited omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience in Himself. Now they are His in absolute full power. As Son of Man Jesus Christ has all power at the throne of God. He is King of kings and Lord of lords from the day of His Ascension until now.

Luke 24:51
We have no corresponding experience to the events in Our Lord's life after the Transfiguration. From then onwards Our Lord's life was altogether vicarious. Up to the time of the Transfiguration He had exhibited the normal perfect life of a man; from the Transfiguration onwards - Gethsemane, the Cross, the Resurrection - everything is unfamiliar to us. His Cross is the door by which every member of the human race can enter into the life of God; by His Resurrection He has the right to give eternal life to any man, and by His Ascension Our Lord enters heaven and keeps the door open for humanity.On the Mount of Ascension the Transfiguration is completed. If Jesus had gone to heaven from the Mount of Transfiguration, He would have gone alone; He would have been nothing more to us than a glorious Figure. But He turned His back on the glory, and came down from the Mount to identify Himself with fallen humanity.
