“Who told you that you are naked? Have you eaten of the tree from which I commanded you not to eat?” These are the words of a heartbroken Father. The serpent is cursed. However Adam and Eve are given REMEDIES-for having failed to choose love, and see that Love requires sacrifice.

What am I offering God? Do I offer him the best like Abel? Or what’s convenient, like Cain? It wasn’t that Cain’s sacrifice wasn’t important to God, it’s that it wasn’t important to Cain.

God said to Cain: “If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is lurking at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it.” It is our job to MASTER overcoming sin, because temptations WILL happen, but we don’t have to give in.

Today let’s ask God, “How do you want me to walk with you today?” And let’s each of us ask ourselves - “How am I going to cling to Him so that even amidst the storms of life and the floods that come, He can continue to lift me up?”

There’s something really powerful about the rainbow - shaped as an Archers bow, NOT to be used for war. NOT to be used for destruction or death. It is God is setting down his bow and saying that He will no longer, never ever again, destroy the Earth by a flood. His covenant. 🌈🏹

In building the Tower of Babel, the problem was not that the people wanted to build a huge tower. The problem was that in building it they were saying “let us make a name for OURSELVES”. Acting as if there is no need to trust in God…just as Satan had said to Eve.

When we do not pursue being the Saints we are called to be, then there is something unsettled in us. We will find ourselves pursuing and chasing after things that are either meaningless or for the wrong reasons, and all for our own glory instead of for the glory of God.

"Let us be what we are and be that well, in order to bring honor to the Master Craftsman whose handiwork we are." ~St. Francis De Sales letter to Madame Marie Bourgeois Brûlartto

We see the standard we are meant to strive for in life in the story of Job. Job's instinctive reaction to suffering was to worship and say “Naked I came forth from my mother's room naked, I shall return. The Lord gives and he takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.”

Roll the tape... Kamala Harris: "There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking." Hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians would lose their jobs. #Debate2024

Kamala went from sounding ignorant to sounding red evil. Oh my gosh. #Debate2024

Kamala was absolutely awful. The whole debate was a set up in her favor - made obvious by having Muir as a moderator. Trump was debating three people, and was not phased.

Vice president Harris has ignored the border problem she created for over three years. She goes down there for 20 minutes for a photo op and decides to repeat some of the things the NPBC has said before. But again, where has she been the last 3 1/2 years?

I want to congratulate Maria Taylor for being the only analyst tonight to pick Dallas to win. Put those ignorant men in their place. #HowBoutThemCowboys

So the Chicago Bulls have the fourth highest Points per game average in the NBA. The problem is they give up the second most points per game in the league. Offense is great. Defense sucks. 🤦🏻‍♂️
