Annie Dillard is one of my favorite writers and in her book Pilgrim at Tinker Creek she writes as follows:

The books I read are like the stone men built by the Eskimos of the great desolate tundras west of Hudson’s Bay. They still build them today, according to Farley Mowat. An Eskimo traveling alone in flat barrens will heap round stones to the height of a man, travel till he can no longer see the beacon, and build another.

Isn’t this just like our spiritual journey…especially during our wilderness wanderings…the desolate tundras? There seems to be many lost souls these days. Not the least of which is my own. But perhaps whether I know it or not, I am moving towards my destination. If I believe in Creator who has all things in His hand, and then I am moving towards the exact point in which He has charted for me.

The Eskimos stacked the stones to find their way home. What if your home is not behind you?

I have three sons. They will live their lives uniquely following Jesus. Theirs won’t be my exact path. But they will move in the same direction, for we are all headed home. Should I stack some stones? I am further along the way. How will others know where we went if we don’t leave marks along the way?

And it came to pass, when all the people had completely crossed over the Jordan, that the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying: “Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, one man from every tribe, “and command them, saying, ‘Take for yourselves twelve stones from here, out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where the priests’ feet stood firm. You shall carry them over with you and leave them in the lodging place where you lodge tonight.’ “Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the children of Israel, one man from every tribe; and Joshua said to them: “Cross over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of the Jordan, and each one of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, “that this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, saying, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’ “Then you shall answer them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.” — Joshua 4:1-7 (NKJV)

What are my stones?
