Smiling Keturah said, "I can believe it my husband as I walk by faith and not by sight."
Giggling she dodged out of the way has Eli through the red dirt at her, but she didn't escape his embrace of her, for why would she want to.

Tolak kept looking about in wonderment. The sun above all else seemed to be his sense of biggest marvelment and walking beside him I enjoyed his ever evolving interest with his new surroundings.
Coming upon a group of the others that I now all called my friends I was assaulted with questions of, "What is this place?"
Chuckling I said, "Just what I told you it was, the plain of the Garden of Eden. Where Adam and Eve actually walked with God I do not know for sure, but there was a special land in which the actual garden was located in and this could be that land. The clues that Scripture has given us that many have failed to see and decipher through the years are the four rivers that originate from just one river. Every river at its beginning starts as from either a trickle of runoff water or an underground spring. Nowhere in the current topography of our world do we see four rivers come from one as is laid down in Genesis 2:10. 'And a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it divided and became four riverheads.' Clues about the four rivers are given along with their names: Pishon, Gihon, Hidequel, and the Euphrates. Although there is a river today named the Euphrates in antiquity the Nile River was first called Euphrates. It's the only apparent river of the four that is still easily traceable, but if you reassemble the landmasses as they once were and strip away the hiding layers of the ocean waters, the old river basins are apparent even today. The island of Madagascar was once situated off the north east coast of Africa and just to the east of Saudi Arabia and the channel between it and those land masses was one of the rivers. Another of the river basins went north up along the coast of modern-day Israel. As I said all you have to do to see the old river basins is to strip away the layers of seawater to view the underlying topography. Before the fountains of the deep were broken up at the time of the global flood there was far less water upon the surface of the land than there now is. Indeed, Undersea, was likely entirely full of water upon the Earth's creation as the Bible says God laid the foundations of the land on top of water. The fourth and final river basin traveled out around the top of Africa towards the Atlantic and would have outletted near where the Amazon flows into the Atlantic Ocean today, but in those days South America and part of North America were pressed up against Africa. When the land was divided in the days of Peleg both Madagascar and the American continents sheared away at where the crust had been worn thin by the great rivers which once flowed. The spring behind us once flowed in far greater volume then it does today and yet it is still some twenty acres in size. It watered this whole plain and from here it flowed outward and became the initial source of water for all four rivers. This place is known today as the Ngoro Ngoro national Park located in modern-day Tanzania. Another clue if you need it is that in reference to the early days of creation the Bible says that Satan walked among the stones of fire until iniquity was found in him. The volcano you see over there is the only one like it in the world. The lava is hundreds of degrees cooler than any other lava found in other volcanoes and yet it remains viscously molten. It is even possible for a human to walk near the open lava activity, because the temperature of the lava is so much less than anywhere else on Earth. The ancient people of this land call the volcano, The Holy Mountain of God, and have oral histories passed down to this day that speak of the presence of God in the form of a cloud descending upon the mountain and residing there. This whole basin has been declared a sanctuary and it's no secret among the world elite of the ancient significance of this place. Why they didn't go ahead and run with that knowledge to realize that the spring is a portal to the land below I do not know. As this is a very special place, perhaps they were not permitted to desecrate it. All along the rim of this basin are resort establishments built to serve both the vacationers interested in viewing the rich animal diversity of the crater as well as those come to visit the cradle place of all humanity. Even with that said this is a very remote area of Africa and we shouldn't be bothered too much if we hold together."
