Shepherd

By serving God I serve man, but I cannot serve God by serving man; the horse is put before the cart; the sheep shall scatter to the wind.... for I shall see sheep, yet not the herd ---- one will fall away, the rest will follow, and the wolf shall rend them piecemeal

Quite a paradox in the first two lines, Keith. I have to believe that God is always served when we serve our fellow man. A very thought-provoking piece, my friend. Hope you are doing well. Hugs, Carolyn

The world works nicely with the divide and conquer theme. A good shepherd has a trusty staff to beat back the wolf. In your case-a very talented pen! A FAV MY FRIEND..
