    God created man and planted a garden for him in Eden. What lessons can I learn about what God expects of me from what God did for Adam?

    Someone once wrote a poem about their garden: "Our radishes are puny things; Our peas and beans are dying; And as for the potatoes, well, those things aren't even trying And that's the way our garden grows - I tell myself, "Who needs it?"
