I love ice cream (butter pecan, strawberry) and Klondike bars.  When I buy them, I know with great certainty that I will have little because of two girls.  Both girls think of themselves as adults (they are now).  Of course, they want the privilege, but not the responsibilities.

It is like Adam and Eve.  After God created them, all they had to do was live.  They had no worries, God supplied all their needs.  Then, enters the serpent.  He promises them if they eat from God’s special tree that they would be like Him.  They ate.  Shortly, God comes to them for their evening stroll.  Both hide.  God calls and they answer.  Of course both do the blame game – “the woman,” “the serpent.”

Because of this act of sin, mankind has accepted responsibility for its own actions.  We have also accepted responsibility for ourselves.

Just think, if we would have left God’s ice cream alone, we would never known pain, hardship, suffering, and want.

The irony is that we did not turn out like God, but worse, we now have to take care of ourselves.

The two girls have leave home and the ice cream has taken on another taste – salt. 

“For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God…”

Genesis 3:4
