Don't look back

27/2/2018
As I write this, the snow is falling outside.  It fell all night and there is about 4 inches on top of our garden cupboard.
Still, back to Genesis and we're now up to Ch 19.  Abraham has plea bargained with God not to destroy Sodom & Gomorrah if only 10 righteous people were there in order to save his nephew Lot; but there weren't 10, so his angels visited Lot and told them to get out of town because God was going to destroy it.  At first they were resistant, but the angels blinded the Sodomites that were surrounding Lot's house and grabbed the family by the hands to flee, warning them not to look back. But Lot's wife looked back and was immediately turned to a pillar of salt. (she was warned!).  Perhaps we could take this as a warning not to yearn for the old days but keep moving forward. Then we come to a bit of incest again. In order to continue the family line.  Lot's 2 daughters got him drunk on consecutive nights and slept with him.  So were the two tribes of Moabites and Ammonites formed.  I don't know what God was thinking when this happened, but I wonder if all humanities ailments and sicknesses were caused by incest.  Something else to think about eh? But we'll never know the answer.

Bye for now
