I feel myself growing stagnant again... for several reasons really--The busy busy-ness of my life, the sudden excess of people around me, the overwhelming responsibilities at work. Each stone building on the one before.

There was a lot of talk about stoning in the Bible. I think some people have a distorted idea of what it really was. During a stoning, the accused and convicted would be put in a pit and the executors would stand on the edges and pitch stones of varying sizes at them. Most of the time this was an execution. How lucky it would be to catch one to the head right off the bat and be unconscious for most of the event.
