Genesis 13

8 So Abram said to Lot, “Let’s not have any quarreling between you and me, or between your herders and mine, for we are close relatives. 9 Is not the whole land before you? Let’s part company. If you go to the left, I’ll go to the right; if you go to the right, I’ll go to the left.”


i thought maybe there were some lessons on how to handle conflict in here.  Abram saw the conflict addressed it head on and was a gentlemen giving Lot options and first choice on how to handle.  not sure he did it for dividends but it seemed to payoff.

Alternatively Lot was looking out for #1.  I think we will be reminded this did not turn out so well soon.

so maybe selfishly look out for others first.  how's that for twisted

  1. I like your twisted logic here. Its a real mind-bender.
    13 The people of Sodom were evil—flagrant sinners against God.
    This is the verse that caught my attention. I wonder what this means? What were they doing that made them such great sinners? I find it hard to believe they could be much worse than we are today.......just sayin'
