Someone Call Child Protective Services

Tonight I caught up on a LOT of homework and studying that I have been getting behind on. It was a good night; full of pasta, pharmacology, and the grammy's. Taylor Swift rocks, seeing her in concert would be a fairytale. She won a few grammy's so hopefully this means another tour next year. I also watched the Miss America pageant this week; honestly between watching the grammy's and miss america I am feeling awfully unimportant these days. Despite that though I am very much looking forward to this week: extra credit for going out to the sheep barns, last week of work, free fazolis, and a determined workout plan, I feel like this is gonna to be a great week!

I've gotten a little behind on the Bible reading, but I'm not discouraged. Here are the verses I read today and last night: Genesis 15-21:1-7

I can't comment on everything about these verses, however I feel like the biggest thing I took away was how screwed up Lot's family was. In these verses he suprisingly isn't portrayed as any kind of villain, God even saves him from Sodom and Gomorrah. Two angels went down to check things out for God and see if things were still as bad and sinful as they had been. The scene opens as Lot welcomes them into his home to spend the night and even makes a feast for them. I guess it's easy to focus on the fact that all the men in town come a knockin wanting to have sex with these guys, and I'm totally against that... but isn't it just as bad that Lot offers to throw both his virgin daughters into the group for them to 'do with them as you wish'?!?! Is this a lack of respect for women, or is it really supposed to be a righteous thing putting strangers ahead of your own family? I feel like Lot made some bad choices that night. Maybe that's why his daughters didn't mind using him for their own sick means later on...

...that brings me to my next point, where Lot's bright daughters decide there are no men left and want to have kids, so they seduce their father into a drunken stupor and sleep with him to get pregnant. This is one dysfunctional family, I wonder if it resulted from them living in Sodom and Gomorrah. It kind of gives you a small peek into what life must have been like there, if that is so it is no wonder God wanted to destroy it completely.

Later on Abraham does some traveling and eventually Sarah gets pregnant at the ripe old age of old. Abraham was 100, but he lives to be 175 so I guess this was kind of a middle age surprise for him. That's about as far as I got for tonight. I'm gonna finish up the grammy's, listening to bon jovi right now rockin it out.

oh ohhh were living on a prayer.... oh ohhh halfway there!
