I look forward to being caught up... this is a lot of Bible.
Genesis 19. OK, so this is why I've put off reading the Bible for so long. I have issues. Particularly with the way that women are treated in the passages. Here's Lot, he has angels in his house. Here come some horny townspeople and bang on the door, asking for the angels. What does he do? "Want my daughters? They're virgins!" Seriously?? And then his wife turns into a pillar of salt later. And if all that wasn't enough, his daughters get him drunk later, these lovely virgins, to get pregnant by their father.
Really? Jacked. Up.
Random: I like the phrase "steep your life." I like imagining myself as a giant teabag. (Matthew 6:33)
Matthew 7:1-3. This seems especially relevant to me, given something that a friend of mine is struggling with at the moment: "1 “Don’t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults—unless, of course, you want the same treatment.2 That critical spirit has a way of boomeranging.3 It’s easy to see a smudge on your neighbor’s face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own."
