Work and Weeds

What do you need to allow weeds grow? Nothing.   They just grow. Especially when you are very comfortable and not paying much attention. maybe you even know they are growing, but end up laughing about it, fiddling and prancing a lazing away like the grasshopper.  This is the curse of Genesis 3. Cursed is the ground because of you. You will always toil. Isn't this the heart of the fallen world? Do nothing and you can be guaranteed that all goes to pot.  Can you imagine the world that Adam was given where he could work without weeds?  Without continual problems? That would be nice, but what would we do with a world like that in our own fallen state? Ruin it. Get lazy. Eat drink and be merry... Probably not. Good would be okay with that. We'd instead set fire to it.  Can any of us even imagine good, much less very good? Seems impossible. I am sure that is why evolutionis. is so appealing. With that worldview, this is as good as it gets. Don't have to deal with sin...
