Have you ever wondered what Adam thought while watching Eve talk with the serpent? What about the nitty-gritty drama between Sarah and Hagar?

Bible Backstories: Worth the Bite?
Another beautiful day in the garden, Adam did what he loved most of all–admire his beautiful bride. Eve’s hair was a beautiful auburn with kinky, curly coils framing her face, cascading down her back. Her skin was the complexion of earth’s rich soil, supple and taut. She was the personification of beauty and grace. Even…
Operation: Holy Child
I’m not perfect, but I try my best, and I love learning what Abba teaches us from the synagogue. But I’m not that good. I made many empty promises to Scott that I’ll never be able to keep. Isha says to stop being so hard on myself because youngins like me hardly know what we’re…
