  • Thoughts on Sheep

    So I’ve been hanging out in the 23rd Psalm for a bit, got me thinking about the nature of sheep. First why the image that we are sheep, why not the horses or the Lord?

  • Matthew 18:18 Assuredly, I say to you whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
