Today, I received this video and I think it is beautiful. However, at the same time I can’t help but think of the curse:

“The Lord God said to the serpent, Because you have done this cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field on your belly shall you go and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring he shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel.

To the woman he said, I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.

And to Adam he said, Because you have listened to the voice of your wife [maybe Mark Driscoll is on to something. Hahaha…] and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, You shall not eat of it, cursed is the ground because of you; to pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, and you shall eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return. (Genesis 3:14-19)

Behold I was brought forth in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive me.
(Psalm 51:5)
