Seriously, I was reading in Genesis today, and I must say, I'm really glad I never made a promise to Abraham.Check this out:
Genesis 24:1-3
"Abraham was now an old man. God had blessed Abraham in every way. 2 Abraham spoke to the senior servant in his household, the one in charge of everything he had, “Put your hand under my thigh 3 and swear by God—God of Heaven, God of Earth—that you will not get a wife for my son from among the young women of the Canaanites here..."

I guess that's the way they made an agreement back then...the old "hand-under-the-thigh" agreement thing, but I must say, I'm way thankful for the modern-day handshake!
