Coming into South Dakota, I started ranting into my portable voice recorder about a man named Honi the Circle-Drawer. I first heard of Honi the Circle-Drawer in a class at Hamline University. Honi the Circle-Drawer was a Jewish Charismatic who lived in Israel during the same time as Jesus.
Honi was famous for going to villages experiencing severe drought and promising rain. He would go outside the village and draw a circle in the scorched earth. He would pray to God, step inside the circle, and would stay there until God made it rain.
"What a way to live," the professor said. "Drawing your circles in the sand and daring God to make the next move."
