Yep, 40 days where he was tempted by Satan, before Jesus started His ministry.

He was in the wilderness or something like that.
yeah but desert is more like it and not woods, just to get a bit techinical 馃槃

again whats with this bible and 40 days?........all they miss out on is the story of ali baba and the 40 thieves

Seems there are a lot of 40's. Moses waited 40 day before going up the mountain, Noah, 40 days and 40 nights..lots of 40's..

lots of 7's..lots of many numbers...The numbers must have special meaning.

finti Senior Member

yeah adventures are hung up in the numbers of 40, 7 , 3, 9 and 12..................

see damnit, i kept saying and thinking desert at first and then i either thought it sounded stupid or someone who's a LOT more religious than me (not too hard to do, btw ) said woods.

In other words, yeah, you're right. But you probably already knew that. 馃檪

Ou Be Low hoo Restricted

I'm giving up my claim to be 'The New Jesus' for lent...If I succeed through the whole period, I will reclaim it at the end.

Did someone say 'control'?

I didn't give up anything, but I'm trying to make a concerted effort to pray more

Okay, this year I decided to try lent. So, I gave up coffee and despite the fact that I missed a good cup of java in the morning....I feel pretty good. Might have to try this again next year.

I gave up my tolerance to cold for Lent.

Now the fuggin weather just needs to comply and we'll be peaches.

Lent - Rubbing dead, decaying ashes on your face and calling it Holy. Oh, that's Ash Wednesday. 馃槙

Nothing, as usual.

WrathfulDwarf THE LOOSE CANNON

Oh, heck! I did it last year and why not this year.

For 2009 lent I'm giving comic books.

(besides DC is publishing shit anyways)
