Community – Be Thankful for Your Shepherd
When you analyze shepherding in the traditional sense, you realize it was a pretty thankless job. The sheep were always in need of protection, food, water and direction and the shepherd was responsible for providing those necessities. The life of a shepherd wasn’t easy; often the nights were [...]
