One preacher tells the story...
One preacher tells the story that comes from Mark Twain's writings. He was dealing with
Adam and Eve. Adam was arrogant and proud. He was in charge of naming all the
animals. He virtually overlooked Eve. He was insensitive to her, almost unaware of her.
The drama continued until the last scene was painted in dark and austere colors. Adam
came on stage and the lights were dimmed. He sat on a stool, and simply said, "Eve died
last night. And I have come to know, where Eve was, there was Eden." The preacher
observed that Eden is not just a place or a garden. Eden is a relationship.
