In Genesis 6-9, God looked down at the Earth he had created and saw that it was not good. Not good at all. This didn't please him at all. So God decided to wipe out the entire Earth with a great flood. Lucky Noah was the only one that knew about the coming flood. God had instructed him to build an ark. In the ark, Noah was to put his family, two pairs of each kind of animal, and enough food to maintain everyone. So all was good and well for Noah. It rained for forty days and forty nights. Everyone and everything on Earth was wiped out as a flood filled the Earth for a hundred and fifty days. Noah waited patiently for the Earth to dry as good had commanded and once he disembarked, he set up an altar for God- offering up some of the animals that had survived the flood on the Ark. Looking again upon Earth, this time God was pleased and so he promised to not do a repeat of the whole "wipe out all of existence" deal. (And I agree, it may have been a bit much in the first place.)
In the very first chapter of Genesis Eve takes the apple from the forbidden tree and thus the origins of original sin. I think it's important to note this because it is important to realize that Noah wasn't perfect, he had flaws and he sinned, but God still saved him and his family because he had faith and listened to what He had to say about how things were supposed to go.
An animal that fascinates me is Georgia, Anna Freed's dog. I learned a couple things about her today. 1) Georgia loves car rides and 2) Georgia whines a lot during car rides. How that works, I'm not sure but she really did seem to enjoy sticking her head out the window. Watching Georgia fascinates me though, she is so full of energy and so eager to say hi to everyone (and I mean, EVERYONE) and she doesn't seem to stop. Like ever. I wish I had that kind of energy. She's also pretty fascinating because she has to be one of the cutest dogs to ever exist.
(She's absolutely precious, isn't she?)
