Your Questions About Gardening

Malevolent means to be spiteful, and God is anything but!

God does want us to love Him, willingly. He gave us free will to make choices. As mankind’s creator, Jehovah God put the tree of knowledge in the garden. There were many other trees of the same type, he only asked that Adam and Eve not eat from that one tree. It was symbolic of his right to rule, and to choose what right and wrong. Since he made us, he is the one to know best what benefits us

What God was asking of them caused them no hardship, and more importantly did not rob them of their dignity. He merely asked them to display respect for Him out of love. When the first couple sinned, they were in effect following a headstrong course in opposition to God.

Example : A loving parent is preparing for a family meal and has made several plates of the same type of cookie. This parent now tells the children that they can eat from any of the plates except the one in the middle, since they are for the guests. This parent isn’t being cruel, and as a gesture out love, this parent even put the acceptable plates on the outside edges so they would be easier for the children to reach and make the middle plate less tempting. [The same way with God. Adam and Eve could have eat from the many trees surrounding the Tree of knowledge. They were all of the same type of fruit. They just allowed their curiousity and desires to overtake them.]

Moss dries out very fast , & can’t take full sun well. Better to use small sedums & Hens and Chicks , unless it’s deep shade.. They’re drought-tolerant & much easier care .

My husband and I got married in SF, same thing, small wedding and we went to a really elegant dinner at Acquarello which was delicious Italian food in an old church (perfect for wedding attire as it’s formal dress code). Http://www.acquerello.com/

Then we went dancing and had drinks at Top of the Mark, which someone already mentioned. Http://www.topofthemark.com/entertainment.html
That is a great, traditional “dancing” place for mature people. I don’t mean mature like gray hair and walkers, but not a night club. It’s classy jazz music you can dance to. We rented a limo to take us from place to place since there weren’t that many of us, and that made it really easy to get from one point to the other without having to worry about parking. It also gave us the ability to zip all over town to have our wedding pictures taken in front of the “Painted Ladies”, China beach, Japanese Tea Garden, Shakespeare Garden, etc.

I personally wouldn’t recommend going to Jazz at Pearls for seveal reasons. The first being that it’s an actual concert venue, which means no talking. I think that on the night of a wedding, it kind of brings the celebration to an abrupt halt to go sit and watch a jazz show. It’s better to go somewhere that has live jazz to have drinks where you can still socialize and celebrate. Secondly, something dreadful is going on at Pearl’s. I’m not sure if they are under new management or just going through some kind of issue but the last few times we were there, they were totally disorgnized and the staff was rude, so something has changed. It’s still a neat place to go see a good traditional jazz show, but not on your wedding night. The staff at the Top of the Mark is top notch, very classy place.
