Why is it that when things go wrong 'we always seek someone to blame? It's not that this is some new phenomenon. . Scape- goating Began with humanity's first man and woman - - Adam and Eve. According to the Bible, , Adam and Eve had been placed in a, wonderful setting called the Garden of Eden. God had given them free reign, except for one tree described as "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" (Genesis 2:9 NIV). 18 months to 9 years Utica DayCare - for - - Toddlers & Pre-Schoolers FE for he) If you Trew up attending ' Victimization is the buzzword of the 90's. We Sunday School, .you are familiar with the story of Adamvand Eve, recorded in the third Genesis. A serpent (Satan) appeared in the garden, tempting Eve with the forbidden fruit, which she took and ate, giving some to Adam who joined her, in this disobedient act. When God confronted them, Adam blamed Eve: "The woman you put here with me - - she gave me some fruit from the sree, and I ate it." As for Eve, she shifted responsibility to: e serpent deceived me, and I ate." This became the classic pattern which has been repeated throughout human history. It's the old standard, "Yea, I did it, but it was because of what he did first." chapter of' * Flexible to your needs *JK & SK Programme * Before/After School care (busing Epsom & Port Perry) * Home-cooked meals * Piano lessons * French language cirgles UTICA DA al \_(905) 985-8783 your child's home away from 9 HATE LAUNDRY!

How of®n have we heard that society is to blame for someone going bad? Without question one's environment has an impact upon behaviour. And the Bible agrees when it states "bad company corrupts 'gaod character" (1 Corinthians 15:33 NIV). Our friends do have an impact on how we approach life, which is why parents care about who their children pick for friends. ' But whether we live in a for our real, or imagined misfortunes. A man is seated in a law office, with - the lawyer saying: "OK, ' you want to sue your parents because they raised you in a healthy, happy and loving environment, thereby: ruining your chances for ever appearing on 'Oprah'. Am I correct so far?" (Bradford Veley; Christianity Today, March 4, 1996). The value of cartoons is their ability to put a humorous twist on attitudes in our culture, and I feel Veley's cartoon hite the mark. No matter hol envir the choices~we make. Ultimately,~no one can force us to be dishonest or to make bad decisions. In the final analysis, we _ decide to do right or wrong. I recently saw a cartoon or, ~Tot, we are responsible for: shifting, what happens'in life, good "or bad, if we're unhappy with the results, we go looking for someone or, something to blame.
