AMERICA IS A LARGE FRIENDLY DOG IN A SMALL ROOM.

God creates the world by speaking into the darkness and created light, sky, land, plants, and living creatures in six days.

God put Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, telling them to enjoy the day to day life fully, the only restriction was not to eat the fruit of tree of the knowledge

And like our Creator, we have free will. God wanted the pair to be obedient and grateful for the world he gave them.

10 AMERICA IS A LARGE FRIENDLY DOG IN A SMALL ROOM. EVERY TIME IT WAGS ITS TAIL IT KNOCKS OVER A CHAIR THE GENESIS OF GENESIS The Book of Genesis opens with the story of creation. God creates the world by speaking into the darkness and created light, sky, land, plants, and living creatures in six days. On the sixth day, God created a being in his own image. He made man out of dust and a woman out of the man s rib. God put Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, telling them to enjoy the day to day life fully, the only restriction was not to eat the fruit of tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God created humans in his image so we resemble our Creator in our capacity to display such qualities as love and justice. And like our Creator, we have free will. God wanted the pair to be obedient and grateful for the world he gave them. But in the garden, Eve encounters a serpent who convinces her to eat the tree s forbidden fruit, assuring her that she will not suffer if she does so. Eve shares the fruit with Adam, and the two are immediately filled with shame and the realization that they are naked. The try to hide from God. God discovers their disobedience and after cursing the serpent, he tells Eve, childbirth will be painful and Adam will have to work for food and the two were subsequently banished from Eden.

12 WHAT GREAT THING WOULD YOU ATTEMPT IF YOU KNEW YOU COULD NOT FAIL? - ROBERT SCHULLER WAIT. BE PATIENT. LIFE S STORMS WILL PASS. THE SPRING WILL COME WE'RE NOT VICTIMS Veterans make up about one-third of the federal workforce. That means a lot of us were affected by the shutdown. Some in the mainstream press (as well as the government employees union) took that political opportunity to wring their hands about us poor veterans and how some of us might be driven to suicide because of a couple of missing paychecks. Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie was forced to address this in a terse letter to the president of the American Federation of Government Employees, telling him to stop promoting the "veteran as victim" mentality. There are no guarantees of employment. If we're in a civilian job, they can let us go with no notice. If we're in a government job, we can be caught up in shutdowns. While most last only a few days, the one in 2013 went on for 16 days (blame the Affordable Care Act). In 1995, it was 21 days (the problem: balancing the budget). As politicians posture and snarl, we get caught in the crossfire. However, there are ways we can take care of ourselves. Consider this a clip and save column for how to survive a government shutdown... or even a civilian layoff. The best-advice financial rule is to have savings stuck away to cover six to nine months of living expenses, especially if you have a family. Do not buy that new car until you have that money. Do not buy a new anything until you have that money. Do a budget and pare it down to essentials, multiply that by six or nine, and that's how much you need to put away. Consider taking on a part-time job, if only for a little while, and put that money in your stash. No matter who we work for, anything can happen. Be ready. (c) 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.
