Reading Notes Adam and Eve Part A

Adam and Eve Part A

God created the Earth and all of the creatures that lived there. He created the trees and the animals and everything else man needs to thrive. He created everything in six days, and on the seventh day he rested. Because God rested on the seventh day, he announced the seventh day sacred, and called it the sabbath.

After God created the Earth and the living things on it, he created a man. The man's name was Adam and he lived in the Garden of Eden that God had made for him. Adam was very happy, but God decided he needed a companion. So God took a rib from Adams side and from that, he made Eve.

Adam and Eve lived in the garden happily, and named all the creatures that lived there with them.

Satan was a beautiful angel who went against God, and tried to become him. God then sent Satan away from heaven because he would not obey God. He sentenced him below the Earth, creating the enmity between Satan and man.

God commanded Adam and Eve to eat from every part of the garden, but they couldn't eat the fruit from a certain tree. Satan came to the garden disguised as a serpent and he tricked Eve to eat the fruit from the forbidden tree.  Eve then gave Adam fruit from the forbidden tree as well.

Adam and Eve became naked after they ate the fruit. They knew they had disobeyed God so they tried to hide from him. God punished Adam and Eve by creating a sorrow in their lives. God kicked Adam and Eve out of the garden, and protected it with guards.

storytelling, week 11 - the creation of the mermaid

The Creation of the Mermaid The whale created the oceans, far and wide, deep and shallow, black and blue. He created the plants that bloomed vibrantly through the waving currents, and he created the sand that shimmered abundantly beneath the weight of the water. The whale also created the live that happily swam among the tides. The whale was proud and very content with his creation, but one day he decided there should be another creation, none like he has ever made before. It shall be called a mermaid, because of its man like-features. The whale gathered the animals that lived in his ocean, and held a meeting that would decide what the new creation should consist of. Each animal had its own thoughts of what the new life should be. The clown fish thought the mermaid should be orange and white, just like him. The shark thought it should have razor sharp teeth, so it could hunt better than any other fish. The tuna thought the mermaid should be agile and very large, to cut and dive thr

Introduction to a social media marketer- Week 1

Hello, my name is Gracie Jonas. I am a senior Public Relations major with a minor in Enterprise Studies. I plan to graduate this May. Although I am a senior, this is only my second year at OU. I began my college experience at Rose State College in Oklahoma City as a student athlete. I was fortunate enough to receive a full ride scholarship to play soccer. Being a student athlete taught me a lot about responsibility and determination. Trying to balance school life, social life, and soccer is something that took a while to adjust to, but at the end of it I couldn't be more proud of what I accomplished. Currently, I am employed as a social media marketer for StellaNova Coffee. If you haven't been there yet, you should try it. Great coffee and great people! (I'm not just saying that because I work there either.) Anyway, this experience has also been challenging, because I am adjusting from being a young student, to a professional in the workplace. I am challenged everyday t
