It is in this chapter that God establishes his covenant with Abram that will essentially be for the Israelite nation and this happens after Abram rescues Lot from the King of Sodom and refuses to take any material possessions back with him
Almost as an afterthought, Dr West mentioned that in some kids the behavior gets worse as the moro reflex gets challanged and is eliminated. I never gave it a second thought. Within the first two weeks, Big Bro’s intensity lessened and the boys were playing together happily with lots of give and take between them

Reflection has helped me to understand that all the layers involved with just one phrase revolve around one thing- my walk with the Lord. There is the personal layer, the mother layer, the wife layer and the home
