Pride

I noticed in the story about Noah that he found favor with God- and then he had an awful lot of work to do! But it was all worth it in the end.

Today I read Genesis 11. The comment in my devotional was that "human pride is at the very heart of all sin- elevating our will above his" (in relation to the Tower of Babel) That is indeed an interesting thought.

And I tried to follow some of the family lines. Terah had 3 boys- Abram, Nahor and Haran. And Nahor married Milcah who was Haran's daughter. That would be his niece then. Familial interbreeding was not such a taboo then.
