Dearest Zoe and Tucker-- the only sorrow you ever brought was the day you left us.
... May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest...

What are all these animals? A cat - two cats - dozens of cats. And all those dogs ... why, I cant count them. And the birds. And the horses.
They are her beasts.
Did she keep a sort of zoo? I mean, this is a bit too much.
Every beast and bird that came near her had its place in her love. In her they became themselves. And now the abundance of life she has in Christ from the Father flows over into them.
-- C.S. Lewis
"We have a responsibility to stand watch over one another, we are watchers, all of us, watchers, guarding against the darkness."

GREEN PASTURES
Troubles and trials often betray those On in the weary body to stray But we shall walk beside the still waters With the Good Shepherd leading The Way
Those who have strayed were sought by The Master He who once gave His life for the sheep Out on the mountain still He is searching Bringing them in forever to keep
Going up home to live in green pastures Where we shall live and die never more Even The Lord will be in that number When we shall reach that Heavenly Shore
We will not heed the voice of the stranger For he would lead us to despair Following on with Jesus our Savior We shall all reach that country so fair
Going up home to live in green pastures Where we shall live and die never more Even The Lord will be in that number When we shall reach that Heavenly Shore

On Electric fences: A friend of mine who keeps sheep has this to say about electric fences. The average sheep will touch the fence 3-4 times a day. The average teenage boy will touch it once a week.
