So I've started reading a chapter of the Bible every night and then choosing one verse/phrase that sticks out at me to meditate on for the next day.

For Genesis 1, I chose "Evening came, and morning followed..." It's repeated over and over. And it started to seem almost like a promise. Evening will come, night will fall, but morning and light will follow.

For Genesis 2, I chose Genesis 2:15.

The LORD God then took the man and settled him in the garden of Eden, to cultivate and care for it.

It doesn't say to sit around in it. Apparently, from the very beginning, our human experience was to include work. But we were meant to delight in the work. Rather than simply working the Earth, we were to "cultivate" it and "care for it."

That's my thoughts so far. The queue is set so you'll keep getting updates while I'm in Ohio.

I'm praying for you!
