A Creation Thought
Our pastor was talking about the creation of man and woman one Sunday. He said man was thrown together and God hadn't taken much time with man's creation. Woman, on the other hand, is a work well thought out. I got to thinking (what, me? grin) about that; so here is a creation idea that hit me. Now please, don't anyone get the wrong idea about my faith in God's wisdom. This inspiration of mine is one I am sure He is smiling about! After all, He made my sense of humor!
Man and dirt have a lot in common-- I have heard women call men dirt but that's not on my mind now. Come to think of it, I have seen more dirty looking men than women, and boys than girls. You know, the smudgy dirt, the kind you can wash off. Maybe they can't help it; dirt is in their genes. Well, jeans too. OK, so men tend to think dirty too. Let's not go there!
I can just imagine God saying, "Let's see now, I need a companion to talk to, someone who is brave enough to come out in space and see my universe, who can appreciate my talent but is not so much in awe that he lacks the competitive spirit. One who isn't afraid of getting smudged up and he must be curious too. He can't be too introspective and I have to make him focused, but artistic enough to create new designs to help him supply some of his needs, with my help of course. He's got to need me as all friends do. Hmmm, he must be able to feel my loneliness too and have some compassion."
OK, so it's a mite stretch to think what must God have been thinking way back when he had no idea what he was starting. Now don't get mad at me for supposing God was brainless. I know better! I am imagining that like the man He fashioned after Himself, I don't think He checked any instruction manual when putting man together. No, He did what man does today still-- throw it together to get it over with and say, "close enough!" There probably wasn't any instruction manual back then. Didn't man invent print? No wonder men today hate to read instructions. It is against nature! I am thinking, God said what most men still say, "I need it now. There. Done. What's next?"
The way I see it, God got man and the animals made. Hey, just had a thought: God got the friend/companion he wanted, but that was not enough. He gave the excuse of man needing it, (don't all men give excuses and believe them too?) but really, did man really need woman? I mean, in the instructional world we live in, he most certainly did. Who else could find his stuff for him? But I digress. No, I was thinking, if God had made all those variety of animals, all those different traits found in each species, and all that planning for future evolving, He was really into it. Creatively speaking, that is.
You know how it is. You make something, and in the process, see a way it could be made better. Or you wish you had added something or deleted something, or had it in a different color. You're absorbed in your talent. Nothing else at the moment matters. Your creative mind is hot! Suddenly, nothing is impossible. You dream up wild concoctions, then see the glorious future results of your genius! Are you getting the idea here? God got so carried away making the animals, that just maybe He neglected his new friend, man. And felt guilty.
Now I am not going to be so disrespectful to say God gave Adam a toy to keep him out of the way while He was creating new ideas. No, I think maybe, just maybe, God had to think long and hard how to improve on His first creative human project. Kind of like, "what did I forget last time?"
No bones about it! OK, that's bad pun! But really-- bones are a marvel when you think about it. Our backbones are much stronger than men's too. And maybe some women today do think like men. After all, the genes are passed down quite a bit by now. But I don't store a lot of useless information like men do. Who cares who won the world series in 1951? Or whatever year that was. No, our brains are much more than memory banks. Sometimes I wish God had made a third human after He thought about His last effort at creating brains. But that is another creative write!
There's another thought that came to me here while thinking of God's connection with men. You know how men are. They get to thinking of the mating habits of others, and then follow nature's course. They look at their woman with a gleam in their eyes! Well, maybe God really got into it when He was designing the mating habits of animals. Hey, He knows how we feel in all things! So He was hot. He really thought about us women and our seductive design. And we get blamed because men make fools of themselves?
O.K., I'm digressing here again. I have got to talk to God about creating new brains! Anyway, I can just imagine God presenting this new creation to Adam. After all, Adam was His close male friend. They must of talked about this latest project in the making. Adam must of been excited about it too. God knew He was much smarter than Adam, so like most male minds, He had to add some safeguards to His newest invention-- just in case, Adam didn't follow the instructions (God knew he wouldn't).
OK, so maybe God had learned from making the animals that females needed compassion when the males goofed up. We needed a mind that didn't remember everything, but enough to keep man on his toes! We needed stamina when man's persistence fell short of perseverance. But most of all, I think, God thought long and hard about how to keep man wanting a woman. He did give us a way out. There are lots of women that grow old not wanting a man around all the time. Men aren't like that. They want women till the day they die! Even when they have no clue how to get her without sex appeal! Or their bodies tell them their mind has old fool thoughts still! It takes man a lifetime to finally get what we knew all along. And what God knew at the beginning of creating man.
Companionship is what it is all about. That part of us that needs someone to talk to, someone who listens about our latest creative dreams. Someone to be close to, and someone who will praise us once a day at least. So the next time some man tells you, "No bones about it!" Say, "Praise be to God!"
