Each day of our lives presents us with endless possibilities. We constantly stand at the crossroads of choice.

Oedipus, schmoedipus! When the Torah tells us that when Isaac married Rebecca and brought her home, "behold, it was Sarah, his mother" -- it means something else entirely

From Eliezer we learn to find joy in satisfaction within the circumstances G-d gives us.
