As Eve was to the apple
Man is to sin
Prideful, lazy, and envious
Lustful, greedy, or filled with wrath
Let’s let God in again.

It’s so easy to see these days, that we constantly break the laws of the Bible, and maybe all this sinning we do on a daily basis has angered God to the point that He may destroy the world again, or if not destroy, make us suffer His terrible anger.

This week in Texas has sure felt like my version of Hell. Then there’s the virus and other fatal diseases. Unemployment, starvation, and the evil on Capitol Hill. I could go on and on, but the point is, we have failed to be obedient to God’s laws, therefore, we are being punished. We all need to try harder and do better or this reality we are living will be our death sentence. Personally, I want to go to Heaven, how about you?

Thanks as always to Kathy, Harper, and the entire Chalkboard team, as well as Ms. Mia for her timely prompt!
