Did you know...

Jesus actually spent 40 days on earth with his disciples after his resurrection, tooling around with the crew, convincing them that he really was alive. I preached on that passage today. There's actually a ton of references to 40 days throughout the Bible - Noah, Moses, Elijah, Jonah & Jesus - just to name a few of the highlights. They almost always had to do with preparing, and my whole premise was that God is preparing us, especially in the down time (following the exciting Easter Sunday) - to be part of his mission in the world. Nothing dramatic is happening in my life right now, so I'm trusting God continues to prepare me - even when I don't see anything specific - to be a faithful witness...
