At some point in life we all may have struggled with becoming distracted while we pray; our minds wander off to other topics or we don’t feel like a connection is being made. Several years ago my Institute of Religion teacher shared something with me that changed how I viewed prayer forever.

After the fall, God says to Adam and Eve, “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread…” Genesis 3:19 Jesus taught, “man shall not live by bread alone…” Luke 4:4 Happy National Sandwich Day 2016 ;)

Conflicting views exist about when Jesus appeared to his New World disciples. Did he appear directly after his ascension to the Father? Some believe that his appearance followed the forty days with his disciples in Palestine, while others believe that an entire year had passed after the resurrection when he appeared in the Americas.
