HE Shepherds us, we need HIM! As I was taking pictures of the sheep the other day I thought of my good shepherd, God. There with the sheep were two livestock guardian dogs (LGD). They were very friendly but I'd almost bet that if I went inside the fence to mess with the sheep it … Continue reading The Shepherd!

Homesick…
I've talked about it before, but "My Verse" is Philippians 1:20. Its my favorite, it's one that struck me back in high school and became "mine". It my hope, it's where I'm going.

https://youtu.be/H1L6zv_ilzY?si=D4RoqvQMebtePqRp We probably have all read Jeremiah 29:11. The other day I was reading my bible and noticed Jeremiah 29:10 unlike I ever have before!

The Maple Leaf (extra post – oh just to pause)

It's in the … Continue reading The Maple Leaf (extra post – oh just to pause)
