Genesis 14

There is something about biting into a fresh vanilla slice.
I don't know if it's the custardy sugar hit.
Or the contrast of soft velvety centre sandwiched by the crispy pastry.
But I love eating vanilla slices.
The one I had today had an extra thick layer of icing on the top.
With chocolate.
Sorry, I have to pause to wipe the drool from the keyboard.
It was really good.
So good I had to share.
But not too much was given away.
I wish I had another now.

Genesis 14
As far as I can remember this may be the first mention of a war in the Bible.
Abram obviously had a knack for strategy.
He had at least 318 men trained for war.
He showed a knowledge of tactics.
I guess that comes with trying to carve a nation out of a land that was not your own.
It was good that the king of Sodom was grateful for the return of his people.
There's an argument that Abram was even more generous by his refusal to accept anything in return.
In all things he acknowledges God.

Sunday afternoons are great.
Almost lazy days.
Getting ready for the week ahead.
Resting the body.
Recharging the mind.
Refreshing the spirit.
All with the help of a vanilla slice.
Well today did anyway.

Enjoy your week.
