In Genesis 1:3 “God said ‘Let there be light …’” In Genesis 1:6 He spoke the expanse between water and water into being thus creating the sky. In Genesis 1: 9 He said “Let the water under the sky b...

It is a pain in the neck to have to keep going in circles. I try my best to save steps, tires, gas, what have you, by planning out routes so I am not backtracking.
