Sarah, Abraham, and Amazon

A story from Genesis centers around Abraham and his wife, Sarah. They are advanced in age and God yet promises them a future lineage of an uncountable nature.  (Genesis 15 – 18).

Eventually, Sarah hears about this and laughs at the absurdity of bearing a child when she is decades beyond the physical limitations of this possibility. (In sermons, Sarah bears the brunt of this faux pas, but Abraham also laughs about this when he receives the promise at 99 years old.)

Well, anyway, most of us would laugh, too.

The Egg and I

This article, I will freely admit, is a little bit out there. But please don’t let that stop you from reading!

The title does not reflect a book written in 1945 because well, I have never read it. That doesn’t mean I have "egg on my face" either.

The title does not reflect a restaurant in Minneapolis or any other restaurant of that name. I found so many that it would be a "hard egg to break" with just one article.

The title is merely a statement that I had a ‘moment’ with an egg this week. 

A side note before I begin in earnest, please. Before writing, I usually look to see if I have written on the subject before. You’ll never guess.  This is the sixth time I have written about eggs in this venue. Does that make me an "eggbeater"?  Maybe not but something weird is going on.

I am now getting to the point, and I thank you for your patience.
