God RestedA Story by Mark GeorgeMy theory is that Adam pissed God off from the start. I'm not even talking fruit of the forbidden tree...that was just the last straw.GOD RESTED ADAM: God, you’re the creator of
everything, the earth, sun, sky, plants, animals, the whole enchilada,

ask is why you needed to rest on the seventh day…you being omnipotent and all? GOD: (laughs) I was tired. Is that so

Tree of Knowledge. ADAM: Now you’re scaring me. Is there something you’re not telling me, being all-knowing as
you are? GOD: GO NOW! ADAM: Okay okay…just chill out a
little. GOD: … © 2020 Mark George |
