We revisit Sarah to ponder the paucity of particularity in God's plan.

This episode is a step back into the story of Abraham in response to a bit of a theme that seems to be emerging in Genesis. God clearly has a plan, but often it seems rather opaque. Abraham and Sarah take a long time to grasp what God has in mind, but when we dig a bit more at the story it seems that God didn't go out of his way to make the particulars all that clear from the start. Fascinatingly, it seems the morality of an action doesn't seem to have much bearing on how much God can use it for his plan.
