It's curious to me that not only did Israel's first three kings each reign forty years, but it's the exact number of years that many other leaders served.<br /><br />Glynn, you set the bar pretty high. I hope you send up a prayer for me every now and then that I reach it. And thanks for your words.<br /><br />Susan, true enough! Peaceful light for not just soul, but body, heart and mind.<br /><br />Russell, 1) You wouldn't believe me; 2) I don't even <i>know</i> any secular rock bands anymore (though I liked Electric Light Orchestra when I was younger—remember "Hold on Tight"?); 3) That would be suffering, and it's included in tomorrow's title; 4) I already did Matthew (mid-May to mid-June '08), but I'll make a mental note about a Beatitudes series and see what the Lord says. (Whew!)<br /><br />Denise, thanks for saying I do encouragement well. Even if I speak strongly (like on lust or church unity), I hope it's <i>always</i> in an encouraging not discouraging way.<br /><br />That said, I managed to write a post for tomorrow which includes themes of King David, encouragement, and suffering; it includes mentions of love and 'forty'; and I hope it's insightful.Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-37253085950305999102010-01-16T20:26:01.722-05:002010-01-16T20:26:01.722-05:00Back to add; Or you can satisfy my fixation on Kin...Back to add; Or you can satisfy my fixation on King David. ;) Any post on him will do.Tanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518718614911804428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-49515381717721385592010-01-16T17:54:20.791-05:002010-01-16T17:54:20.791-05:00Encouragement, you do that beautifully sis.

I once began a running list, but life got in the way. It's interesting to see across the board how the Lord seems to favor this number (among a few others). I'd be curious not only to see a detailed list (OK, a short list will do ;) but what your take on it is. I'm ready to delve into a study of this, so for me this is timely.Tanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518718614911804428noreply@blogger.com
