Genesis 3 (I Can Do This)

Well rain last night has turned the mud I was going to transform today into flat mud with no tractor ruts into thicker, deeper mud with lots of water and tractor ruts.
Hmmmm.
If you've followed any of my previous posts you'll note no big deep theology.
No surprises there for any who know me.
Again I read this and think who am I typing to?
At this stage I have no plan to ever go any further than type to myself.
Maybe if I get to day 7 and I'm still going I may expose my ramblings to others.
I have broad shoulders and thick skin.
What's the worse that could happen?
Ok so should that be worse or worst?
I think I've erred and it should be worst. If you have read worse and think "Gee Steve that's poor use of the english language." I would draw your attention to my second post and the word creativitylessness!!
Enough said.

Genesis 3
So the fall of man into sin and the start of who-can-I-blame begins.
Ok so the first sin. Was it disobedience, pride, envy, lying, tempting, blame or maybe something else?
At first I thought disobedience.
But the verse about Eve seeing the tree and desiring the fruit made me think. Is desire without action a sin?
Whatever it was, once that first domino had been knocked over, a lot tumbled in quick succession.

Yesterday I said I'd nearly finished Phil Cooke's book, The Last TV Evangelist.
Last night I did finish it. The second book I've finished reading in less than a week in probably the last three years.
Despite this accomplishment I've still had plenty of time to read my Bible chapter and post comment.
The earlier trepidation seems to have faded.
I am wondering though whether I've started at the right place.
Genesis is ok and Exodus. But I am only too aware of Leviticus lurking. And all the "begats" of Numbers.
But Matthew starts with all the .....was the father of......who was the father of.....who, and so it goes.
Maybe I could have knocked over some of the single chapter books like Philemon, Jude or the last two Johns. Actually that's all of them.
But then I'd forget and it wouldn't make much sense.

I also did a really dumb thing this morning.
I casually calculated how many chapters are actually in the Bible.
I thought it may be a good idea.
Nope.
Stupid.
Stupid.
Only 1189.
That's all.
Not sure if I'm ready for that.
Except I've done 3 now so it's now a paltry 1186 to go.
"Deep sigh"
