My friend Doug McHone wrote on his blog CoffeeSwirls that my post on “Abraham and the Promises of God” contains an important omission.  He wrote that if you read my post on Abraham, you would never discover the reason Sarah was buried in the cave of Machpelah.

Doug’s sense of humor is evident on his post.  Thank you Doug, for your kind words about my writings.

So, do you know why Abraham buried Sarah in the cave of the field of Machpelah?
