Still More Hardpan [Joshua ch.7]

“All the people then stoned Achan to death; they also stoned and burned his family and all his possessions.”

Man, that’s got to harsh your mellow... (I resort to flippancy because I don’t know how to process the crushing/torching of Achan, his family, livestock, and possessions. It is too tragic, too gruesome.)

One thought: We should look carefully at anything we’ve held onto that we feel compelled to hide. Whatever it is that that we conceal to the detriment of our relationships is worth bringing into the light. Otherwise we won’t overcome the stuff that blocks our full engagement with what we were created to be and do.
