A World of Work

In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth -- and all manner of creatures to fill that earth, including Adam and Eve of course.

Let’s look at this for a second. God created -- this means the omnipotent being that he is had to work (didn‘t he see that coming). Sure, he only had to work for six of the 7 days, getting his holiday after, but the man/women/being had to w.o.r.k. (I’m thinking I wouldn’t have wanted the job.)

Therefore, Adam and Eve had to find jobs. Their first job was naming everything. I would like to have been a fly on the wall when body parts came up in that conversation, or for that matter the platypus. I mean -- really -- platypus. Their main job however, was not to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge. This seems like a pretty easy job to me, but alas, no -- Eve sticks her big nose into Adams business, “You need to assert yourself, you’ll never make manager if you don’t take initiative.” That is how I hear the conversation starting. “Go on show him you can take charge.”

I get a chuckle from the thought of Eve brow beating Adam.

Oh, so many wives have had this conversation. I knew it started somewhere.

Back to work.
