Look, yeah, I get it. Abraham, Isaac, Moses–all of them were much better people morally and spiritually than we are. But sometimes, they do things and its like, "Oh yeah. He’s a dude." Like this week, for instance. Sarah isn’t having kids, so she offers Abraham her maidservant, Hagar. One-Sarah is an awesome wife. Two-Yeah, Abraham’s definitely a guy. I mean, who’s really gonna say "no" to bringing in another chick? Did Sarah even get to finish the sentence?
Sarah: Look Abe, I’m not getting you any kids, so maybe you should take Hag–
Abraham: Done.
Like, no joke. This is a dude who talks to Gd, like, ALL the time asking about stuff. Am I gonna have a son? What does my descendants future look like? Should I listen to Sarah and send my son away?
But this?
Sarah makes the proposition in one verse, and in literally the next verse Abraham says yes. Not a pause, doesn’t even break a sweat. But when Gd says, say, "I want you to circumcise yourself", Abraham heads over to his giant buddies Aner, Eshkol, and Mamre to get advice. Which was probably a very interesting conversation:
Aner: He wants you to do what?
Abraham: Yeah, G-d wants me to circumcise myself.
Eshkol: Seriously?
Abraham: Yup.
Mamre: Well, it’s G-d and all, so I guess you should do it…But circumcise yourself? Have you seen what happens when people cut their own hair?
So yeah, pretty selective, that sly Abraham, on what does and doesn’t need a second opinion. But well played, sir, on the handmaiden scenario. This is for you.

I know of the fact that today, more and more people are attracted to surveillance cameras and the field of pictures. However, to be a photographer, you must first invest so much period deciding which model of photographic camera to buy and moving from store to store just so you may buy the most affordable camera of the brand you have decided to decide on. But it does not end just there. You also have to think about whether you should obtain a digital dslr camera extended warranty. Thanks for the good suggestions I accumulated from your blog site.
An interesting discussion may be valued at comment. I do believe that you can write much more about this topic, it will not certainly be a taboo subject but usually people are insufficient to speak on such topics. An additional. Cheers
