Faith, fear, trust
It's astounding to me how much faith Abraham had in God. or how much fear of God he had, as it's put here. That that level of faith is even humanly possible is a bit mind blowing. I guess i'm just trying…

ham's mistake
In this chapter, the command to Noah and his sons is again to be fruitful and populate the earth. They do that pretty well. It's interesting because a lot of their descendents end up being enemies of…
