Jimmy's smarter than Adam!!! (as in the first man)

Ar and I bought a children's Bible the other day in Kampala so we could do little Bible lessons with the kids a few afternoons a week. Of course we started with Adam and Eve. After reading the story, we demonstrated the temptation that Adam and Eve had by hanging Tootsie Rolls from a tree, symbolizing the fruit (thanks for the idea Sudan). We had two volunteers, Jimmy as Adam and Melody as Eve. Arielle played God and I was the serpent. Arielle explained to our Adam and Eve that they should not eat the candy. I, on the other hand, told them it was okay and that if they really wanted to eat the sweeties, it was okay. With that Jimmy walked toward the sweeties and was about to grab them. "God" gently reminded him that he wasn't supposed to eat them, and he turned around and was firm in his decision to turn down the Tootsie Rolls. Melody pretty much stood on the side looking like a cute little Eve. We explained to them the importance of obeying God and that everyone sometimse makes mistakes, but God forgives us all the time, all we have to do is ask. All the kids loved our Bible study and were thrilled to receive cookies at the end for being such good listeners. Noah's Ark comes next and it's going to be sweet!
