"If you don't make dust you eat dust" Part 1


On Friday Brittney and I went on a camping trip....yes you read correctly a camping trip. As we all drove to the camp site I was thinking hmmm look at all this dust and next time I think I will be the first car leading!

Also a preview of your new home away from home or at the very least for the next two nights. There is a old saying that says it take a village to raise a child.

My favorite part of camping the food.

So the adventure begins and I am sure there will be more to come.

That smore looks good. Remind me to tell you about the time I sat in a smore.

Good times.

In Genesis 3:14 we read, ‘And the Lord God said unto the serpent… “upon your belly you shall go, and shall eat dust all the days of your life”.’ Since snakes do not really appear to eat dust, this has been taken as an example of either obvious metaphor (which seems reasonable) or an example of the Bible’s propensity to error, depending upon one’s bias.

In Micah 7:17 we read, ‘(The nations) shall lick the dust like a serpent’.
Once again we have the situation where, as more information has come to light, the Bible has been shown to be not only accurate, but accurate in minute detail. Snakes do deliberately and purposely eat and lick dust.

There is an organ in the roof of a snake’s mouth called ‘Jacobson’s organ’. This helps the snake to smell in addition to its nose. Its darting, forked tongue samples bits of dust by picking them up on the points of the fork, which it then presents to its matching pair of sensory organs inside its mouth. Once it has ‘smelt’ them in this way, the tongue must be cleaned so the process can be repeated immediately.

Therefore serpents really do lick dust and eat it.

I was simply going to comment and say that I hope you are having a wonderful time, when I happened to come across KT's comment and am speechless. LOL

Wow, imagine the life lessons that Sydney is already learning ;)

So, Jane, I must know... did you back your car in, in case of fire?

Looks like fun to me. We could share Tami's S'more story when she set Nate's hair on fire. Oh, the good times. Mom
