right now we are in a drought and could use the rain!!! any way where i am at it is very flat but there is asome cayons close by about 20-30 miles NE from amarillo and the is Palo duro canyan too about 15mile SW i think. we have grass trees and some rivers too. we have a saying "If you dont like the weather stay 10 min. and it will change." and that is true the wind blows then it stops it can go from 15mph to95 in one hours and back again. we have tornados and get the after shocks of husacain weather. tahts what brings the rain sometimes and thunder/ lighting stowms.
i dont thing we are that different form any other state in America but i have not traveled far out of tx eather. I did live in Arazona and has a tendence to say in America when talking to the Navajo/Hopi but i think that was because there is a real differnce between the reservations and amreican. the have there own goverment laws...

I am really looking forward to visiting texas it is deffinatley going on our intenneary.

i hope you like it!!!

I have heard alot of "interesting" things about texas so I am sure to be entertained when I get there

I have wondered this. If you go by the Bible, the children of Adam and Eve would have had to have sex. It would have been incest. It is a silly idea, of course, and the mythological nature of Genesis becomes apparent. I profess Christianity nonetheless.

Didnt the bible say cain was band from the garden and cast out then found a wife from the land of Nun or Nod? I wonder were they came from?

Hmmm the mind just boggles dosent it???? <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The Hebrew People were great story tellers, and they taught by parables.

I don't believe that these stories were meant to be taken literally. They were intended to show us the way to live, and to love and respect God. In every story told in Genesis there is a lesson to be learned, and to look for logic in writings which were based on faith and spiritual values is like looking at the food on your plate and trying to figure out where it came from without bothering to taste and eat it! It is like studying a tree instead of looking beyond to the magnificent forest in which it grows.

In any spiritual writing, you have to look beyond the words, beyond the 'story' and find the real treasure that lies hidden within the message.

The problem is when the texts are taken literally and how some people intepret ceartian religious texts to suit their own agendas.

I belive this:

God created Adam and Eve... words meaning man and woman...

Then when they had children, which he created, they were perfect people...

the fear of incest has always been disease and birth defects from imperfection of the species, but if hte species were perfect, we wouldn't have that fear?

If we didn't know it was wrong, in effect, that it wasn;t wrong as we know it to be wrong now, and we were perfectly created, why would it be gross?

I think of course they did... they had to!
