    OUR GOOD SHEPHERD

    One of our most comforting images of God is that He is our good shepherd.  This image was powerfully reinforced to me on a mission trip to Lesotho many years ago.  We stayed in Semonkong surrounded by the beautiful mountains of Lesotho.  Here we encountered so many shepherds watching over their sheep.  I noted that…
