Genesis 1:26-2:3, 2:15-17, 3:1-19 Far as the Curse is Found The holiday season brings both gladness and sorrow. For some it's the "most wonderful time of the year" and for others it's a season of intensified grief. For many, it's a mixture of both. Why is that? Will it always be this way? The Bible tells us how things got this way and why we can have hope that it won't always be like this.
