Adam and Eve were just like us, man. Well just like me. Today I started the Bible in a Year program and read Genesis 1:1-3. It is hard not to read through it all quickly because I've read it before and everybody knows the Creation story and the Apple story, but I tried to slow down and noticed again what Adam and Eve did as soon as they were busted by God for eating of the wrong tree. As we know, Adam blamed God first for giving him Eve and then Eve for giving him the fruit and then Eve blamed the snake.
It was your fault! It was her fault! It was the snake's fault!
I am big on personal responsibility, as I have talked about on here a lot. And I know that it is something with which I struggle. Reading this again makes me realize it is a struggle as old as time.
