I was at church yesterday and the sermon touched on the famous "40 years wandering in the desert."
I remembered when I first heard about that as a kid, and I thought, "40 years!!! That's a couple of lifetimes!" And so it seemed.
But whilst daydreaming on the subject later yesterday it occurred to me that if I had been among the Hebrews heading out for the desert in the year I got married (1973)...then wandered with them in the desert for 40 years (more or less), I would have been lapping up the milk & honey in the "promised land" for about 6 years by now.
40 years? That's nothing.
I'm getting really old.
