[additional-authors]
November 18, 2016

I
When the Holy One
says a baby is coming
you better not laugh.

II
How many righteous
people will save a city?
Who has this power?

III
Angels make angry
locals go blind. It’s not called
Sodom for nothing.

IV
Go ahead. If you
want to be a condiment
disobey the One.

V
The story of two
brothers. One cherished, and one
sent to the desert.

VI
A deal is made for
three generations of peace.
We can learn from that.

VII
Give your son to Me
on the mountain. Abraham
does right or wrong here?
