Genesis 3: Like all of us, they cannot resist the temptation to reach out for what lies beyond them. ---March 30, 2011

Genesis 3 is the emergence of sin.  It is the first sin ever created by Adam & Eve.  Reflection on this particular chapter proved to be enlightening.  Personally, the temptation or the need to know everything that will occur the next second is overwhelming.  I know that at the moment I learn to appreciate the present and everything included, I will be one with myself and with God.  The decisions made by Adam & Eve disappointed Him because He wanted what was best for them.  With the disobedience came unhappiness, and unfortunately so.  To accept what is right and holy is to appreciate life and God, and then naturally happiness will take over.  Nothing complicated; it's simplicity at its finest.

--Amen
