Jordan - Genesis 9

This chapter begins with God's covenant and it ends with Noah's curse.  From divine promise to human anger.  Its a bitter taste left in your mouth because the story of Noah and the Ark is supposed to just end with a beautiful rainbow and the prospect of a fresh start.  Right?  Isn't that what all of the children's books end with?  But we don't even get out of the first generation without people being people again.  Oh well, it was nice while it lasted, I hope!
