To prove the accuracy of Judges 9:50-57, two part-time female archeologists chunk a small home millstone off a building. The Biblical text says a woman in Thebez threw an "upper millstone" off a tower and crushed Abimelech's skull. Check it out here.

A new book has been released trying to show that all animals go to heaven when they die. It will certainly appeal to pet lovers everywhere. The author ought to make some good money soothing the sad feelings of children and people who treat their pets as children.

What really takes the cake is this line in the blurb of the news release, "How do we know? We look in the book that God left us – the Bible."

Well, I've read the Bible through a few times, and must have just missed all the tons of evidence that would justify a whole book being written on it. I must be a terrible Bible student for the blurb goes on to say --

"This is an animal question – no, it’s a spiritual question. It just fell threw [sic] the cracks!"

Ought to give you some idea of what the book will be like.

I enjoy the daily word from MerriamWebster. You can subscribe at the link below, if you like. Here's today's word:

The Word of the Day for May 16 is:

docile \DAH-sul or DAH-syle\ (adjective)
1 : easily taught
*2 : easily led or managed : tractable

Example sentence: Peabody was such a good-natured, docile horse that even the youngest children could ride him.

Did you know?

"Docile" students can make teaching a lot easier. Nowadays, calling students "docile" indicates they aren't trouble-makers. But there's more than just good behavior connecting docility to teachability. The original meaning of "docile" is more to the point: "readily absorbing something taught." "The docile mind may soon thy precepts know," rendered Ben Jonson, for example, in a 17th-century translation of the Greek poet Horace. "Docile" comes from Latin "docere," which means "to teach." Other "docere" descendants include "doctrine" (which can mean "something that is taught"), "document" (the earliest meaning of which was "instruction"), and "doctor" and "docent" (both of which can refer to college teachers).

*Indicates the sense illustrated in the example sentence.

I have too many irons in the fire and need to focus. Among writing a book, amassing scattered bits of scribbled-on paper for a poetry collection and writing music, I spend a lot of time sitting on the edge of my bed and just blinking. Any suggestions?

This gal got some pretty good advice. You might want to check it out on the Write This Q&A site.
