Playing Adam and Eve

"..I heard you...and I was afraid...so I hid." Gen 3:10

Last week I needed a day off church - having spent 9 hours at church during the week working on worship team stuff. I wasn't involved in the service, so took time out to sit in the sun and read my Bible. Unfortunately, living on a one-denomination Christian college campus, all the neighbours DO go to church - and all exit their houses at about the same time to get to the service.

Well, there I was, happily soaking up sun in a few very un-churchlike clothes, and saw my neighbour's front door opening (they have a grand view of my small patch of grass that I like to call a yard). First reaction? - well I dived straight into the ferns and hid until they'd gone by!:)

Perhaps it was a gut reaction to being moaned at by self-same ultra-conservative neighbour for bunking church previously and not being up to another tongue-lashing, perhaps it was something else. But sitting in among the ferns I suddenly saw the funny side of it and couldn't stop laughing.

Adam and Eve - eat your heart out! I at least wasn't wearing scratchy fig leaves!:)
