day no. 14,611: kid tested, mother approved

Today I turn 40 years old. 40 is commonly associated with testing in the Bible. It is a motif. When you see or hear the number 40, you can expect it to be associated with a period of testing. So look out world, the prototype has been tested and is being turned loose. I wonder what the next set of 40 years will bring if, Lord willing, He endures me to 80. I feel like I'm just now only getting started in doing what I was put here to do. It seems like a waste of the first 40 years in some respects, but it is also a relief knowing that they have produced some clarity rather than continued ambiguity. So here's to 40 years of figuring it out and to 40 more for getting after it.
