My little riblet… If there was this of the bible when I went to Sunday school, I’d have paid more attention.

Yeah, I hear ya. There’s only so much one can take away from felt boards and macaroni crafts.

Much satisfaction, once again. Fave bits: “It’s the pretty part”, “You want me to tell him that?”, “He’s very articulate” and, of course, the missed calls and voicemail got me again. Yay!

I always thought Eve got a bum rap in the original story, so a retelling seemed in order. Glad you enjoyed it. 😉

Me again. For your consideration: I think my next Clam Bake will involve the Bonny-Campers sitting around the fire and sharing their own tales. Would you mind if I used one of your Bible Stories? Introduced by giving you a pleasantly quirky cameo and a link-back, of course. No pressure if it doesn’t feel like the right fit, just let me know…

Eve was doomed either way – sometimes it feels like not much has changed for women since then?

Yeah, I know. It can be disheartening, especially when I hear people (men) use this story to explain our inequality.
Really guys? Really?!

No words for that equality dumb-bomb. Really is a good expletive sometimes 🙂

This puts a really new slant on the Bible and on texting. I must say, I like it!

Thanks Claremary! Have to admit, it’s dang fun to do — though maybe it’s just as well my mom’s not around to read it! 😉

Reblogged this on Mitch Teemley and commented:
I don’t do a lot of reblogs. But this string of text messages between ADAM & EVE, as reported by one of my favorite bloggers, C.J. Hartwell, simply refuses (like a certain infamous fruit) to be ignored! Only, in this case, it’s a sin NOT to read it! ~Mitch

I have no idea how you created the fake text exchange, but the dialogue is brilliant. I especially enjoyed where Eve says she wants some alone time and Adam is all, “But we’re the only ones here!”
