Three absolutely shocking Genesis stories...

While I go on and on about Jacob (see previous blog), there are some pretty shocking tales tucked into the larger landscape of Genesis. Do you know what happened to Dinah? It's horrible. Can you recall what Lot's daughters did when all the men of Sodom and Gomorrah died? How did things turn out between Noah and Ham, his son?

Not to mention Judah and Tamar, Abram and Sarai lying their way though Egypt. The baffling benevolence of a stranger named Melchizedek. Strange little side tales in this amazing epic. I am thoroughly enjoying myself!!!
