Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer

"But for Adam no suitable helper was found." Genesis 2:20b (NIV)

Wow- it has been a long time since i wrote in this blog!

So, here is today...a day when I have a small window of time where i can be, well, lazy.

I have been thinking today about this verse from Genesis 2 today.
The context is that Adam is between not finding his companion in the animals, and God's creation of woman.

Considering the making of woman from Adam's rib- but especially in the image of God, I can't help but wonder about how well we consider that God is our only suitable helper?

Certainly this is also a call to consider that God's gift of marriage is also a means for nurturing that kind of holy devoiton to the Divine, but one must think about the direct connection to how suitable God is to intimatly love us, and be loved by us...

So, how's that going for you?

Today, more than ever before, I love my wife. She is perfect for me...she's my soul mate. All that is so, because of our collective devotion to the Lord. We know that we are loved by God, and know that we can do nothing else worthwhile in this life but to love God with our everything.

That's a good summer day!
