Eden to Eden, Part Two

Eden to Eden, Part One
Sometimes it’s hard to see patterns in life. We can get so caught up with the day-to-day we forget to reflect and look back. It’s easy to do this with God’s story too. God’s Word opens with the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden. Then in the end it closes with the Tree of Life in the New …
