Have you ever considered what Adam and Eve were doing when…
““Have you ever considered what Adam and Eve were doing when they got into so much trouble? As I read the story, they were shopping. The forbidden fruit was not scattered throughout the garden, not in many places, not in multiple locations, but one place, one site, one location and one location only.

Somewhere in their dissatisfaction they thought, “If only we had something more…””
