One of the signatures of good wine is the fact that as it ages, the quality improves.

Similarly, Leon isn’t rushing anything, but rather taking his time and honing his craft, because the end result will be amazing.

One of the best scorers in the NBA, by far, Steph Curry has continued his trend of high scoring (22.6 PPG), and hitting three pointers at a high rate (3.4 per game).

A nagging ankle injury hampered him a little in November, but he is averaging 31 points, 10 assists, and hitting .564% of his shots, including 4 threes per game in his last two games to start the month of December.

Curry is also averaging 8.8 assists on the season, which is good for third in the NBA behind Chris Paul, and John Wall. An impressive statistic considering how much of a scorer he is.

While the duty of defending the opposing team’s star point guard usually falls upon backcourt mate Klay Thompson, Curry has stated his desire to guard these star point guards himself, though he will do whatever his coach wants. The problem with Curry’s defense is that he has a hard time staying in front of his man, and often tries to over-defend which leads to mistakes. However, no one can discredit the intensity and effort with which he defends.

Curry’s Warrior’s are currently 11-8, but with his ankle injury seemingly fully healed, and Golden State’s do-it-all Small Forward Andre Iguodala’s return from injury growing closer and closer, the team should be able to rebound and regain it’s position as one of the Western Conference’s elite young teams.

So far this season, Paul has been absolutely spectacular, breaking Magic Johnson’s record for most consecutive double doubles to start a season (13) – including a 42 point, 15 assist night against the Warriors – and leading the Clippers to a 12-6 record.

He is finding teammates extremely well, dishing out over 12 assists per game, but he has proven multiple times over the course of the season that he is fully capable of taking over games with his scoring.

Safe to say Paul has established himself as the clear choice for the best point guard spot so far, and though he suffered a slight hamstring strain against the Knicks on November 27, he seems to be fine now as he returned against the Pacers two games later, scoring 17 points and dishing out 10 assists.

Kanye’s musical style on 808’s and Heartbreaks opened the door for artists such as Drake, Kid Cudi, and even Childish Gambino to break onto the hip hop scene with “softer” music in a genre that had been dismissive of such artists.

The Hebrew word Nahash which refers to a monstrous, nightmarish serpent – not some common little snake as would be implied in the English translation.

Why would God not ask the serpent why he deceived the woman if He truly didn’t know what had happened? Instead of questioning the serpent, He immediately puts a curse over it’s species. This is a common theme in the Bible as God cursed several corrupted things throughout it.

Next God speaks directly to Satan and gives the first “hint”, if you will, that He will send Jesus down to Earth to crush Satan.

The woman represents Mary, and her “offspring” represents Jesus who came to earth and crushed Satan thousands of years later, fulfilling God’s prophesy.

When questioned by God, Adam immediately tries to cover up his own disobedience by shifting the blame over to Eve. God obviously knows what he’s doing, but he still turns to the woman and asks her (knowing the answer) what she has done. The woman, then, trying to cover up her disobedience to God, blames the serpent for deceiving her.

Again, another question that God already knows the answer to. Adam is experiencing the knowledge he so wanted so bad firsthand, and having to answer to God and feel that guilt and shame could not have been a pleasant feeling.

Adam answers God, and makes up an excuse to a degree. While it’s true that he and Eve were likely extremely ashamed and embarrassed to be naked, at this point they had already made their fig-leaf “garments”, so it is more likely that the dread they felt after they knew they had disobeyed an all-powerful God is what caused them to hide.

This can be compared to children hiding from their parents after they do something that they know is wrong. They fear the consequences.

Does God asking Adam and Eve where they were, mean that God didn’t know something? Not at all. Someone can easily ask a question to which they know the answer. Usually, the reason to do that is to point something out or teach something. Obviously, Adam and Eve had sinned. God asked, “Adam, where are you?” Because he was hiding from God. Adam’s sin had destroyed his fellowship with the Lord. God knew this and He was pointing it out to Adam. God also uses this question to point out Adam and Eve’s foolishness for trying to hide from an omniscient God in a Garden that He created.
