										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, it&#8217;s over&#8230;</p>
<p>The final devotional post went up earlier today. You&#8217;re on your own from here on out. <img src="https://s0.wp.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/wpcom-smileys/twemoji/2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>I just wanted to post a quick wrap-up post to ask for your honest feedback on the experiment. It&#8217;s the first time we&#8217;ve produced a devotional, and an online one at that, so we wanted to hear from you!</p>
<ul>
<li>Was it helpful?</li>
<li>Was it too long?</li>
<li>Did you want more? Less? Longer duration? Shorter?</li>
<li>Did you like it online or would you have gotten more out of a printed version?</li>
<li>Any other feedback you&#8217;d like to give?</li>
</ul>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry, you won&#8217;t hurt our feelings. We just want to help you grow closer to Jesus by any means necessary. <a href="https://40daystostart09.wordpress.com/2009/02/20/40-days-a-look-back">So let us know!!!</a></p>
