chapter 20: why in the world is abraham doing that sister thing again?? pharaoh already got on to him for it before, and now he's getting rewarded . . . ? so confused! if jack ever said i was his sister so another man wouldn't kill him to get me, i would be outraged! plus, he would never do that, i don't get it! going to read commentary on it. commentary says that he was wrong to do it and that his rebuke from an earthly heathen king was punishment.
chapter 22: seriously. this guy is so afraid of being killed that he says his wife is his sister, and then he doesn't even hesitate when God says to sacrifice his son. he seems to go up and down in his spiritually walk. it's actually encouraging, it's good to know that even abraham who walked with God and is one of the most well known Christians struggled in his walk. and as far as sacrificing his only child? breaks my heart to think of that, reading this story for the first time as a mom gives it all new meaning! i know that Skyler belongs to God but man, that is so hard to come to terms with!!
just saw that i never published this one, so it's out of order! hehe
