When it came time to part Abraham gave Lot the choice of which way to go; he knew that God would bless him even in dry and parched places. Lot looked out and chose for himself that portion that was already lush and green; he coveted the easier way to go. Because he journeyed downhill to that fertile crescent he came closer to the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Before the new moon rose again he had pitched his tents ten miles nearer to Sodom so that he might run into town any time he needed a few things.

Her desires were so great she couldn't help looking back to see if her order was being delivered.  RIGHT Click HERE for the printable copy.
