January 5 - Genesis 12-14:24

Abram is a curious chosen one.  He's uneasy about his wife's beauty and so fearful that he passes her off as his sister, twice.  And, as near as I can figure, he even gets rewarded for this when Pharaoh gives him livestock and wealth.  Then there's the whole thing with Sarah wanting him to sleep with her handmaid and Abraham doing it!  Hey, Abraham, wake up...Sarah was telling you to do it just so you would say, "No, baby, there's no one for me but you."  And then he wonders why there's bad blood between Sarah and Hagar.  Figure it out, Abe.  This Sarah lie and Hagar lay or way to weird for me. 

I wonder what God sees in this guy?  (Answer:  us.)
