right now i'm writing out the Bible and i'm on Genesis chapter 3, i started awhile ago but got distracted when i went down to GA, so i'm doing better now! anyway, as i write chapter 3 it makes me think about how people tend to think that if there was a God then bad things shouldn't happen, but when they are informed that it's b/c of sin, then they think that people shouldn't be punished for what "two stupid people did a LONG time ago" well, when you look at what the serpent said to Eve, ⁴ “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.⁵ “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,  knowing good and evil.” it makes me think about how we all are, we think we know better than God because we don't want to trust HIS will for our lives, or HIS definition of good and evil, every single one of us would have eaten the fruit because every single one of us thinks we know best in all areas of our life. talk about taking up your cross daily, i think that should be secondly . . . every second of every day is a struggle to try to push ourselves down to let Christ live through us, and it's hard! anyway, those were just my thought for chapter 3! :)
