"On the next day Peter went away with them, and some brethren from Joppa accompanied him." (Acts 10:b)
Hebrews 12:2
When I read this the other day I wondered: What did they talk about on that two-day journey? And, remember that scene from "The Greatest Story Every Told" where the Lord Jesus and the twelve were discussing what happened to Peter's coat?
There was a missionary who spoke in one of the churches which I pastored over 55 years ago. I was a hunter at the time, and asked him if he hunted. "I don't have time for that." Translated?

I read 40 chapters in the Bible every day, pray 12 hours, work 20 hours per day. Get with the program."
Father, in Jesus' Name, Regardless, I am still thankful that you have allowed me to serve You all of these years. Amen.

Hebrews 12:2
