Looking over the forest here in the Ochoco's we see many trees. Big trees, little trees, dead trees, growing trees. We have a lot to choose from and focus on. In the garden Eve and Adam had a lot they could focus on too but for some reason they got stuck on one tree. One tree in a garden of trees and that became their focus to the point they lost track of God. We often do that in our lives, one little issue, mistake or incident or one little comment someone made about us and that becomes our only focus. If we keep it up soon we lose our focus on what is important, our relationship with God. One little tree, one little tree in a forest of trees! It wasn't worth it for Eve and Adam in the long run and it shouldn't be worth if for us either.
