The Creation, published in 1927, is one of the beautiful sermons from the book, God's Trombones, by James Weldon Johnson.And God stepped out on space, and he looked around and said:I'm lonely - I'll make me a world.This is the story about how God created the sun, the moon, the stars, and the Earth.
