>> Whenever your kids are out of control, you can take comfort from the
thought
>> that even God's omnipotence did not extend to God's kids. After creating
>> heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve. And the first thing he said
to
>> them was:
>> "Don't"
>> "Don't What", Adam replied.
>> "Don't eat the forbidden fruit." God said.
>> "Forbidden fruit? We got forbidden fruit?  Hey, Eve... we got Forbidden
>> Fruit!"
>> "No Way!"
>> "Yes, WAY!!!"
>> "Don't eat that fruit!" said God.
>> "Why"
>> Because I'm your Creator and I said so!" said God, wondering all the
while
>> why he hadn't stopped after making the elephants.
>> A few minutes later God saw the kids having an apple break and was angry.
>> "Didn't I tell you not to eat that fruit?" God asked.
>> "Uh huh." Adam replied.
>> "Then why did you?"
>> "I dunno." Eve answered.
>> "She started it." Adam said
>> "Did not!"
>> "DID so!"
>> "DID NOT!!"
>> Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and
Eve
>> should have children of their own.
>> Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed. But there is a
>> reassurance
>> to this story. If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give them
>> wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself.
>> If God had trouble handling children, what makes you think it would be a
>> piece of cake for you?
