So far so good with the Bible reading....points to consider:
No wonder everyone thought Noah was crazy...there had never been rain in the history of his lifetime (see Genesis 1:5-7.
Man was created from dust. Woman wasn't :-). As I pointed this out to Rich (my husband) he said, "Yeah, but I am topsoil, Baby".
There were no thorns and thistles prior to the Curse (see Genesis 3: 17). None of that stuff in Paradise.
Isn't it cool that even when Man sins, God is loving and takes care of him. Genesis 3: 21 stated that God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them....and that if Adam and Eve had not eaten from the apple, they would have lived eternally....in fact, that was the original plan until they allowed their temptation. (see Genesis 3:22)
Isn't it cool that God "walked" literally with Adam and Eve...(see Genesis 3: 8) and finally
God had planned even then that Jesus would conquer the devil....(see Genesis 3: 15) "He will crush your head" foreshadows Satan's defeat when Christ rose from the dead.
What do you think?????
Look what comes up from the depths of the sea.

Whatever you choose. If you fall behind, as most people will do, don't worry...the whole year is here and you can catch up at your own speed. I highly encourage you to stick with it, If you read the Bible, you are going to mine some real jewels and insights.
there are many times in our life when something or someone tries to convince us that doing something will give us bigger blessing, thrill, etc., but the best blessing we get is from obeying God. Also, we have to be responsible for our own choices because God holds us responsible for our choices. We cannot blame someone else for our mistakes. Adam tried to blame Eve, but God held him responsible for his own actions.
