More than 28 years ago, before I married Sandy, I was a lousy cook.  I could maybe cook hot dogs and beans (out of a can), and those didn’t always turn out so well.  That’s because I was confined to a set of instructions called a "cookbook."  It was a list of rules and regulations, a

Genesis 13 tells the story, where, from Bethel, Lot went to the south and east, towards Sodom. Abram went south and west, settling near Hebron.
