What Did God Do On the Seventh Day

The Good Book tells us that God rested on The Seventh Day, To unwind upon His Throne and His handiwork survey. He foresaw the mess we mere mortals would make of things, Abetted by all humankind to include politicians and ruling kings! Right off the bat, Adam and Eve made a stupid mistake, Eating forbidden fruit persuaded by that nefarious snake! They let God down big time and I reckon them we can blame, For wrecking His noble plans and creating eternal shame! God must have pondered about the fate of His wondrous Creation. He envisaged pain and suffering as nation warred against nation. As He relaxed on That Day He foresaw evil and sinfulness, Hunger, strife, mans' inhumanity to man and homelessness. How He must have agonized That Day as He eyed His Universe, Knowing He would have to cope with a people so wicked and perverse. I suspect He would have preferred a day of rest like most of us men, Savoring a pepperoni pizza and watching a football game on ESPN! Entry for Curtis Moorman's "What Did God Do On The Seventh Day" Contest

Hi Bob. I love this take of what God did on the 7th day, especially the mention of politicians. I imagine they’re causing Him not a few headaches right now. Your closing lines are priceless. Best wishes in the contest. Love, Deb
