I worked at chopping away at my Saturday list, and accomplished most of it. I’m working on a story to submit to a local publication but the guidelines haven’t been updated so I can’t finish until they are. But it’s pretty ready much ready to go.
I took an hour in the afternoon and went over to L & L Antiques. There were a lot of new items and even some new vendors. There were a few tempting things, but I just keep remembering how hard I’m working to REDUCE my household inventory. Purchasing more seems to make that effort futile. It would have to be very amazing to get me to buy! I did see really cool wooden flags painted on pallets – I sent the picture to Peyton – he could absolutely do that!
The PEEPS are trying to schedule a get-together. (Friends from Smail – there are 4 of us.) Waiting for everyone to get back with their availability. I’m so excited. Real people!!!
SO, the second message I’ll share today is from Greg at Vanderbilt: It begins. In the beginning, GOD – the world is STILL trying to disprove that. God created everything and saw it was GOOD. God knew it was not good, however, for man to be alone. Adam named all the animals but none of them would work, so he made woman, and the 2 became one. In the beginning the garden was pure (white). Adam and Eve (Male & female, two genders; just two) had ONE commandment, and the serpent convinced them to ignore it! We, too, try to replace God. They knew they had sinned and hid. Then God asked the very first question in scripture: Where are you? At this point, the color in the garden was BLACK – sinful. Not everything was good; things changed. God talked to ADAM; he blamed ‘the woman’ – she blamed the serpent. The foreshadowing is: He will crush your head, you will strike his heal – it’s a prophesy of Christ, fulfilled at the empty tomb. In the beginning there was a straight line from Adam to God – Repent and turn and come back to the straight line.
I will also share a joke that Bram had in their newsletter than fits with Greg’s message: At Sunday School they were teaching how God created everything including human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve was created from Adam’s ribs. Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and said, Johnny what is the matter? Little Johnny responded, “I have a pain in my side. I think I’m going to have a wife.” (haha!)
