Lot's wife

Christian Century,  Dec 26, 2006  by Jill Bergkamp

So she took a look back, what did it matter? Her city ablaze, righteous anger engulfing it.

Would you look if you knew the Holy Just One chose your city to demolish--you children, your friends,

even people you hated? Wouldn't their voices cry out to haunt if you didn't?

But this is not a story of redemption, no gopher wood ark, no rainbow. This is a story of flood

without water, of ruin, not forgiveness. This wife turned her head to look back and became

the very thing tears are made of; crystal, salt, regret.
