We're into our second day in our new series -- a Bible overview, using the right and left sides of our brain. Yes, we're coloring (using the right side of our brains) while we talk about (using the left side of our brains) the Bible story, how it relates to other parts of Scripture, and how it relates to our lives and our world. The Bible stories are important for us so that we can understand the rest of the Bible and know how to live our lives for Christ. I had Alexa's help keeping this shorter. Tell me what you think about doing it this way. (Be careful not to hurt Alexa's feelings, please.)

Your assignment (either/or):
1) Find at least one other passage in Scripture that relates in some way to Genesis 2. Feel free to Google, use a concordance, a cross reference Bible, or anything else. You can even ask someone for help.
AND/OR
2) Write down how you're going to apply something from Genesis 2 to your life.

It would be great if you share in the comments below!

We were reading Genesis 2 in this video.
Related Scriptures that we talked about in this video:
Exodus 20:8-11
Ephesians 5:21-33

Here's the quote I was talking about, attributed to Matthew Henry (the Bible commentator from the 17th century), but the article I found it in said that it originated with St Augustine: "The woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved."

I started talking about interterm, but didn't finish my story -- it was about Sabbath. I'll try to remember to share about that next time. Sorry. Easily distracted these days.

The book I mentioned at that time, though, is here: https://amzn.to/3xqM60L

What are some of the things that you've noticed in the story of how God created mankind in Genesis 2?
What sticks out to YOU?
What do you want to hold onto?
What are you doing to do about it?
What are you going to pray about?
Do you have any insights that you want to share?

Please remember to keep your remarks respectful and uplifting. We aren't here to debate or argue or get into deep controversial discussions. But I'd love to hear your thoughts and insights within those parameters. The more you share, the better this overview will be for all of us!

If you like Alexa (I absolutely love her!) you can get your own here: https://amzn.to/3NuH88K I was amazed at how inexpensive she is. I've programmed her to help me through my self-care, cooking, and other routines. If you want to do something similar, let me know and I can walk you through it on a future video.

Love and Blessings to all of you,

Please note that if you use any of my amazon links, I may receive a small referral fee. This does not affect what you pay and it's only a small amount, but it sure adds up. At this point, it's paying for about one day's meals, so you're really helping me out. I appreciate your support!
