"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
Genesis 1:1
Usually at the beginning of a regular novel, you start out letting the reader know the setting. In non-fiction that's usually just setting the stage for the ideas or the philosophy yoy are talking about. Fiction gets a bit more challenging because sometimes that involves a lot of changes to the world that we are used to. This beginning starts out trying to answer the question of what came before our timebound mortality, and this first verse tells us almost all of it. God was before, and he made everything.
Maybe today, we can try to take that in a little bit, and recognize God's hand in everything, everywhere, and realize what that means for us as His children.
