Sheep and Goats Day

Todays sermon was Sheep & Goats. Mercy, I have always been fond of goats, but I guess I should not want to be one. In all seriousness, I realized that we must be diligent about knowing when bad things happen to people in this economic crisis we face. We are so used to people being able to take care of themselves, that we will have a hard time realizing that people we know can be hit hard by the events of the world. And if we don't know it and take care of them, we will become goats and maybe not even know it. So strive for sheepdom. That reminds me, I must send the book about the sheep around. Advent will be here next week and that is a time of hope. So we should all have hope.
