- 0:04All this for me. Yes, it's all for you.
- 0:08Hey, a river, you want to go swimming?
- 0:10Swimming. I'm a spirit.
- 0:14I walk on water. Oh, you want to play catch or
- 0:18something? Well, I'm everywhere, So what do
- 0:23you aim at? I hadn't thought about that.
- 0:26You want to get something to eat or drink?
- 0:28I'll make a companion for you to hang out with.
- 0:33What do you think? This little critter can swim
- 0:36with you. Look at that beak and those
- 0:38feet, webs between the toes. Let me guess, this thing's going
- 0:42to sit on the water and move it's little feet back and forth?
- 0:46I can't keep up with that. Why?
- 0:48What's wrong? Like I'll be swimming and this
- 0:50thing will be coming right at me quacking and I'll have to duck
- 0:53to get out of the way. Did you say duck?
- 0:56Yeah, Duck. How about this cute fella?
- 1:01He can play couch with you and if you throw something he'll go
- 1:05get it and bring it right back. Really, I got to try this.
- 1:10This is going to be fun. Doggone.
- 1:14Look at him go and go and go. He's doggone out of here.
- 1:19Doggone dog it is. Now this animal will give you
- 1:26something to drink when you're thirsty you.
- 1:28Got to be kidding me. Something to drink.
- 1:30Holy cow. Cow it will.
- 1:32Be is this where the drink comes out of?
- 1:35It's kind of a Milky color stuff.
- 1:38This would be really good if it was chocolate and ice cold.
- 1:41This isn't working. What?
- 1:43This is great, I'm having a blast here.
- 1:45I need to make a helper suitable for you.
- 1:48What? Was wrong with the dog.
- 1:50I thought the way he fetched the stick was pretty cool.
- 1:52The dog isn't a spirit being like you and I.
- 1:57Adam, you're getting sleepy. Adam, wake up.
- 2:09Whoa, that was a trip. What happened?
- 2:12I took one of your ribs. That's crazy.
- 2:15What'd you do that for? How many ribs are?
- 2:16Left I created her in my image. Whoa, man.
- 2:22Whoa man, that works for me. You want to go swimming with a
- 2:26duck? Or we could play a catch with
- 2:28the dog. When we get thirsty, we'll drink
- 2:30some milk from the cow. We'll be back God later this
- 2:33Eve. Eve, that would make a nice
- 2:38name. Hey Adam, want to play catch?
- 2:51You throw a stick and I'll go get it and bring it back to you
- 2:54so you can throw it again. And we'll do it over and over
- 2:57until one of us gets. Tired.
- 2:59Not right now, Rover. I'm a little hungry.
- 3:01Maybe later. Do you want me to get some food
- 3:03for you? I could run out to the chicken
- 3:05coop and catch a chicken and bring it back to you.
- 3:07No, Rover, you don't have to do that.
- 3:09You've already got a chicken eve.
- 3:13What's wrong Adam? Oh, nothing's wrong, Eve.
- 3:15I just wondered how the chicken is coming along.
- 3:17Oh. The way you were yelling, I
- 3:19thought it was an emergency or something.
- 3:21Well, it's kind of an emergency. I'm getting hungry.
- 3:25Well, I'm working on it, honey. I'll go back to cooking it now.
- 3:29Oh. Hey Adam, do you want me to go
- 3:31get your slippers? I could run and get them for you
- 3:34so you can relax while you wait for your chicken.
- 3:36That's a good idea, Rover. You're a good boy for thinking
- 3:39of that. You must really love me, huh
- 3:41boy? But I'll have Eve go.
- 3:43I get my slippers. You just relax here with me,
- 3:45Eve. What's wrong Adam?
- 3:50Would you go get my slippers? They'll help me relax while I
- 3:52wait for the chicken to finish cooking.
- 3:54You want me to go get your slippers now?
- 3:56Yeah, so I can relax while I wait.
- 3:59Okay, I'd be glad to. I'm bored.
- 4:02Bored. Why?
- 4:03Because there's. Nothing to do.
- 4:06Eve gets to have. All the fun?
- 4:08No, I'll tell you what, as soon as I'm done eating, I'll go play
- 4:11fetch the stick with you. Oh boy, fetch the stick.
- 4:15I love that game. You threw the stick and I'll go
- 4:18get it and bring it back to you so you can throw it again.
- 4:21And then I'll go get it and bring it back to you so you can
- 4:24throw it again here. Are your slippers Adam?
- 4:26Thank you, Eve. I'll have dinner ready in just a
- 4:28minute, dear. Oh great, I'm starving.
- 4:31Can you help me clean up the dishes after dinner?
- 4:34I can't. I promised Rover I'd play fetch
- 4:36the stick. Are you telling me that playing
- 4:39with Rover is more important than helping me?
- 4:41He's bored. You fetch the chicken in my
- 4:44slippers while Rover just sits here.
- 4:46He needs some exercise, babe. First of all babe, I don't fetch
- 4:50anything the dog fetches. I got us a chicken from the
- 4:53chicken coop to cook us some dinner, and I had to stop eating
- 4:56dinner to get your slippers. I did it because I love you and
- 5:00that's what people who love each other do.
- 5:02But it works both ways. God created me to be your
- 5:05partner, not your slave. So partner, I'm not going to
- 5:09tell you what to do because that would make me your boss.
- 5:13But let me say once more that after dinner I would like some
- 5:16help with cleaning the dishes. Can you believe her Rover?
- 5:22Who does she think she is? God made me first, so he loves
- 5:25me best. Adam.
- 5:26Yes, Lord. Adam, unless you want that dog
- 5:29to be your best friend, you'd better wise up.
- 5:32I made Eve from your rib in your side, not out of your foot.
- 5:37I created her to be a partner for you.
- 5:39Partners work together. Now I am your boss and I'm
- 5:44telling you to do the dishes. Yes, Lord.
- 5:46And by the way, I love you both the same.
- 5:50Sorry, Rover, fetch the stick. We'll have to wait.
- 5:53I'm going to be doing the dishes, but from now on, you can
- 5:56fetch the chicken and slippers so Eve doesn't have to.
- 6:01OK. OK.
- 6:02Quit licking me, Rover. Snake.
- 6:14It's OK, Eve. It's harmless.
- 6:15It's just a little garden snake. I don't.
- 6:17Care what kind of snake nakedness?
- 6:18The only good snake is a dead snake.
- 6:20Those things give me the creeps. It wasn't that long ago that you
- 6:23were pretty good friends with a snake.
- 6:25I wasn't afraid of them then, but now they make me jittery.
- 6:30That's a spirit of fear that's around these days thanks to our
- 6:33sin. It's a gift from the devil along
- 6:35with sickness and poverty. The devil is definitely the
- 6:38giver of all bad things. You can say that again.
- 6:40The devil is definitely the giver of all bad things.
- 6:44Do you ever wish you could go back to the day we send in the
- 6:47garden but instead do it differently?
- 6:49Boy do I think about it every day.
- 6:51What would you do differently? Well let's see, that old snake
- 6:55came up and said, is it true that God won't let you eat of
- 6:59every tree in the garden? We can eat from any tree in the
- 7:02garden, Mr. Snake, except that one over there.
- 7:06If we eat it or even touch it, we'll die.
- 7:08You won't die. God knows if you eat it, you'll
- 7:11be like him, knowing good and evil.
- 7:13Any time you want to jump in and stop me from eating that apple,
- 7:16just go right ahead. This is where I should have
- 7:18jumped in and said get out of my garden, you lying snake.
- 7:23Adam, why didn't you do that? I don't know.
- 7:27I knew better, and yet the devil made that sin look real good,
- 7:31even though I knew it wasn't true.
- 7:32And for some reason I didn't think we would get caught.
- 7:36I wanted to believe that we could get away with it, I guess.
- 7:39And now look at us. No more talks with God in the
- 7:42garden. I missed that garden.
- 7:44I always felt such peace there. Will our children have a chance
- 7:48to get to know God like we did? Someday God will send a Savior
- 7:52to pay for our sin. God wants to recreate our
- 7:55spirits. It might take him a little time,
- 7:57but God will do it. I know we will.
- 7:59Well, when he does, we'll celebrate for the rest of our
- 8:02lives. Yeah, and I promise you this
- 8:05Eve, to the best of my ability, I will never listen to the devil
- 8:08again. Neither will I.
- 8:11We'd better get back to work. Those vegetables aren't just
- 8:13going to pop out of the ground because we're hungry.
- 8:16Vegetables. That must be part of the curse
- 8:18too. Cut it out, vegetables are good
- 8:20for you. I miss the fruit trees.
- 8:23I wish that apple seed I planted would hurry up and sprout.
- 8:26I'm tired of eating broccoli. Please share Fish bites for kids
