The Dust and The Rib
08/22/2011
Out of dust came man
From manβs rib woman was formed
Dust and rib now one
Then the man ribbed the woman
And the woman blew the dust
A perfect prelude
To challenging days ahead
Where rib may crack, dust wiped out.

My darling Adam
Partake this delightful fruit
This shall make you wise
But please ensure my darling
That you take more bites than me

In Eden of modern world, have you ever been Adam or Eve or the snake?
We may have fallen but we can rise up. All is grace.

Your presence is much welcome! Blessings to you π
08/25/2011 at 6:05 PM
Yep, guilty of all three I’m afraid π¦
08/25/2011 at 10:18 PM
Anyone who is not guilty may cast the first stone. Duuuccckkkk — just in case π
08/25/2011 at 7:26 AM
Definitely all three. But, trusting in God’s grace! Nice post.
08/25/2011 at 10:10 PM
Oh yes, we need His grace that we may live meaningfully in Eden π

Excellent. I loved it.

Your appreciation is a sweet sauce. Thank you and blessings to you π

You always make me smile! I think I have been them all… π
Love,
Theresa

He made me smile on my own foolishness Theresa. I’m a dusty rib as well π
08/24/2011 at 8:11 AM
If we don’t take it lightly, it’s really difficult to chew… Very interesting writing! π

Inside the meat there is a bone that can choke π
08/24/2011 at 1:06 AM
LOVE the first one, so “punny”!! :o)
08/25/2011 at 9:45 PM
Thank you, I saw gold dust! π
08/24/2011 at 1:01 AM
Both are equally good, enjoyable desserts…even so called relationships crack at the first sign of a dusty storm…
08/25/2011 at 9:43 PM
Thank you for your filling thoughts! My imagination is replaying the sound of storm and crackkkkk π
08/23/2011 at 10:06 PM
Love the surprise element of your delicious puns (: Nicely done.

08/25/2011 at 9:36 PM
Thank you and blessings to you. I wonder if it’s because I haven’t eaten ribs for a long time π
08/23/2011 at 11:58 AM
Wow have you been busy, creating something good with Him! π
God bless you, sweet one!
08/23/2011 at 12:43 PM
Deb I am burried in the a very thick dust right now but what good is the rib if I won’t use it to carve up the dust? As He wills π
08/23/2011 at 11:44 AM
Loved this one–you use different styles to great effect. As for your question, I’ve been all of the characters: the tempter, the first to fall, the blind follower, the blame-shifter.
08/23/2011 at 12:36 PM
You’re human! As we all are π I appreciate your thoughts and honesty. Blessings to you π
08/23/2011 at 9:05 AM
So enjoyable, loved them all π

Thank you. Now I have second thoughts on hating the dust π
08/23/2011 at 8:08 AM
Very fun set of reads these, and a ponderance to sum them up, how splendid. I fear we have all taken the three mantles of Serpent, Eve and Adam in different situations. Great read.

Glad you see something to ponder upon. Yup we could have been all three — and the fruit too? π
08/23/2011 at 7:10 AM
Fun verse!
08/23/2011 at 12:28 PM
Thanks if you enjoyed π
08/23/2011 at 6:01 AM
Ooh! I love both of these… but the second one is hilarious!
08/23/2011 at 12:27 PM
Women can be very wise. Scary sometimes π
08/23/2011 at 3:16 AM
brilliant.
08/23/2011 at 12:25 PM
Thank you. I am not dusting that off π
08/23/2011 at 12:37 AM
wow, love the dust and rib imagery, well done.
π
08/23/2011 at 12:24 PM
Thank you. I want mine well done too — not rare π
08/22/2011 at 11:34 PM
Dust and spare ribs… sounds like a fast food take out meal in the desert to me… LOL Very witty and clever use of the prompt.
08/23/2011 at 12:22 PM
I actually thought of spare ribs rolled into dust — what a waste π
08/22/2011 at 11:07 PM
I agree with Kay Salady. This is a witty take on this week’s theme. Makes me think of how temporary relationships are nowadays; they can just “crack” or be “blown away”.
08/23/2011 at 12:21 PM
And that reality must prompt us not to forget the Almighty Bond π
08/22/2011 at 10:42 PM
You’re amazingly witty. I have such a wonderful time reading your work. Thank you!
08/23/2011 at 12:18 PM
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and appreciate. Blessings to you π
