The average ink pen will draw a line 7500 ' long

My paper is only 9 inches wide and my desk is only 4 and a half feet wide so I can't draw a line that long anyway.  Think I'll just toss that pen away  . . . . useless.

Several faith-based Guinness World Records were set over the course of the year (2014).  Here are two that were smashed in 2014:

 

1. Most living figures in a Nativity scene

More than 1,000 angels, shepherds and worshippers—along with the requisite camel, donkey, sheep and tiny baby Jesus—joined together in Provo, Utah, to set a record for the most living figures in a Nativity scene. The event's 1,039 participants breaks the previous record of 898, set in the United Kingdom in 2013. 

Want to see it in action? The "Angels We Have Heard on High" #ShareTheGift video was created during the event, with music provided by the Piano Guys, Peter Hollens, David Archuleta and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Check out this video below.

 

 

2. Largest gospel choir

Not one, but two Guinness World Records were set when the Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ) hosted its centennial celebration on July 27, 2014, in the Philippines: largest gospel choir and largest mixed-use indoor theater. It took 4,745 participants singing hymns together in tidy, white sections in a 55,000-seat stadium to break the record once set in February 2014 in New Jersey by the current and former athletes who make up the NFL Players Choir.

In a study of people with Down syndrome, 99% of those surveyed indicated that they were happy with their life.

 

(Yet so many see Down Syndrome as a good reason to abort babies...some even going so far as to say parents should be able to "terminate", actually I would call this murder, born babies that are found to have Down Syndrome)
