This week's readings start out with the introduction of Abigail. Since my second grandchild shares the same name, I was drawn to a footnote in one of my bibles title, "Abigail, Beauty and Brains." The article summarized the scripture and described Abigail as a woman with an "instictive skill for diplomacy and peace-making" who "defused a dangerous situation between hot-headed men." As you read chapter 25, consider this question asked in that article, "What can you learn from Abigail's style of dealing with hot-tempered people?" Feel free to add your thoughts to the comment thread below.
