shepherd

4/20/10 We as Americans are not agrarian people as we used to be. Our context is freeways, not farmland, concrete and steel, not corn and soybeans. In other words, we don't have much to do with sheep or shepherds. Yet, nearly every funeral I have ever performed, we say the 23rd Psalm. One of the few scripture passages we may have memorized is the 23rd Psalm. The imagery endures. We need it, we long for it, as we say, "The LORD is my shepherd...."

Love,
Lynn
