Lot's wife was a woman of the world but she made a life changing decision that ended in her own destruction.
When Lot's family was told to leave the doomed city of Sodom they were also told not to look back. His wife turned back to see what was happening and the decision resulted in her being turned into a pillar of salt. Isn't it sad that God tries to save each and every one of us but through our freedom of will the actions we take or refuse to take can lead to our own destruction.
