It’s amazing how God made man, and so beautiful how he made woman!
Why did God create Woman from Man’s rib, when He could have simply created her from dust, as He did Man? This is a story that puts a beautiful touch on the reasoning:
“When I created the heavens and the earth, I spokethem into being. When I created man, I formed him from the dust of the Earth and breathed life into his nostrils. But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man because your nostrils are too delicate. I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you. Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere withthe creativity. From one bone I fashioned you. I chose the bone that protects man’s life. I chose the rib,which protects his heart and lungs and supports him,as you are meant to do.”
“Around this one bone I shaped you. I modeled you. Icreated you perfectly and beautifully. Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile. You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart. His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life. The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart. Support man as the rib cage supports the body.”
“You were not taken from his feet, to be under him,nor were you taken from his head, to be above him. You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and beheld close to his side. You are my perfect angel. You are my beautiful little girl. You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence, and my eyes fill when Isee the virtue in your heart. Your eyes: don’t change them. Your lips: how lovely when they part in prayer.Your nose so perfect in form, your hands so gentle to touch. I’ve caressed your face in your deepest sleep;I’ve held your heart close to mine. Of all that lives and breathes, you are the most like me.”
“Adam walked with me in the cool of the day and yet hewas lonely. He could not see me or touch me. He could only feel me. So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me, I fashioned in you: my holiness,my strength, my purity, my love, my protection and support. You are special because you are the extensionof me.”
“Man represents my image, woman - my emotions.Together, you represent the totality of God. So man:treat woman well. Love her, respect her, for she is fragile. In hurting her, you hurt me. What you do toher, you do to me. In crushing her, you only damage your own heart, the heart of your Father and the heart of her Father. Woman, support man. In humility, show him the power of emotion I have given you. In gentle quietness show your strength. In love, show him thatyou are the rib that protects his inner self.”

Woman & Man
"Eve was made by God not out of Adam's head to rule over him, nor our of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, from under his arm to be protected and from near his heart to be loved by him.~...Matthew Henry
If you don't live in T~E~X~A~S you don't really know Gov. Gardasil (rick perry). He is a criminal. He tried to force us to vaccinate our daughters with poison so he could profit $2 million. He is a spineless mouth. Do not lecture me on his "tough decisions". He is WEAK on the border issue. He will back the highway through north America. He brought the criminal element of Katrina to us & we are still being held hostage by them. We did not initially choose him, we got him by default when W. went to the WH. If he looks good to outsiders it's only because he is here & everyone looks good in T~E~X~A~S. Don't be fooled by this self serving big mouth-he will be as detrimental to us as bho has been~mark my words I know of what I speak.
