Hey y'all, Happy New Year!
Yes, I said y'all (I'm in Louisiana)
Today I read Genesis chapters 1,2 & 3. God sure got a lot done in a week! He invented time, the sky, the Earth, the oceans, food, light, land animals & sea creatures, and a man.
Once I heard a joke that God looked at the man and decided he could do better and so he created woman! Then there's the thing about the trees, one gave life and one gave the power to know the difference between right & wrong (death). God said, eat the fruit of any tree but not this one! You got one job - don't eat the fruit of this tree! So, then comes this snake, (everytime I read this I think of Kaa from The Jungle Book.) Anyway - maybe she was having a bad day, but she listened to this snake, seems like a weird choice, but I wasn't there. And then, all kinds of bad stuff happened and they got kicked out of the garden.
Turns out - God was also the world's first fashion designer! So the chapter ends with these winged creatures guarding the enterance to the garden with a flaming, flashing sword.
At least the bible begins with a really good story! Tomorrow we'll read chapters 4,5,6, & 7. See ya then!
