God, Adam & What’s His Face:

Brittany and Justin are in the same class on Wednesday nights at church and we get many different versions of what their lessons are on. This Wednesday we did not have to ask them however because their teacher came to us to share this humorous antidote…

It seems that they started in Genesis chapter 1 that night and they read the verse “Let us make man in our image” The teacher asked the kids who the “us” was. Who was God talking to? Well, Brittany being the knowledgeable nine year old she is blurts out, “Well, It CAN’T be Jesus, He wasn't born till Luke!” Then Justin pipes in and says “Yup, it was Adam.” His teacher tells him kindly that Adam has not been created yet, and Justin replies “Nope, its Adam” Poor Miss Candy read out of the bible that Adam was created later and Justin STILL said she was wrong!!

So we shall read it the way my children think it is:

God looks at Adam and what’s His Face and says: “Let us make man in our own image” and that my friend is how Genesis 1 is supposed to read.
