All about Evie

Wow. I love the description of the garden of Eden. Of course it would be the kind of garden "planned by great kings"-it was planned by the King of kings!
I also like when Higgs pointed out that knowledge is good, but the intimate "knowing" of evil is not good. I agree with that completely. Many people say ignorance is bliss, and that isn't completely true; however, we do not need to be on a first name basis with things that aren't of God. There are certain things that I don't need to know. I don't need to know how to cast a spell. I don't need to know what sex is like with someone other than my husband. I don't need to know all about Mormonism. God has put a hedge around me, as Higgs says, in order to protect us from these things.
I also like when she is talking about the creation of man. One of my favorite verses is Gen. 2:25 "The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame." Oh joy. God created sex. It was his gift to us. He did not have to make it pleasurable because it is simply intended for procreation, but he did. And he knew that this gift would be abused in many ways, and yet because he loved us so much, he still blessed us with this. Girls, because it is so pleasurable and so special, it is only to be shared between a husband and wife. To use it any other way is to tarnish this gift so generously bestowed on us.
Another true point that she makes is when she says, "When the devil comes a-tempting, he seldom goes in for group conversions. He waits until we're alone, then spins his web of deceit." Gosh, the devil sure attacks us when we are alone. He makes thoughts swirl in our heads and then we start to doubt ourselves or God or both. I know this happens to me time and again. Okay, more soon. Hope you guys are reading and will post soon.
