So when I read verse 17 today, I appreciated that God, being a fantastic Father, tried to keep us from the knowledge of good & evil. If only we would have listened!

However, my mouth literally dropped open when I read verse 20 [...]

You know, I put off reading this for so long because of a fear that I’m just now realizing I have habitually: I’m afraid God won’t speak to me. But yet again He has come through. I need to start logging these instances. Several things struck me in this first chapter of Philippians: 1. Paul’s love [...]
I like the connection with your thought and Genesis 2. I hadn’t seen how it was God’s kindness to us to keep us from the tree. I like the pea example.
Peas in your nose? Did David tell you about his brother doing that?
