Many years ago, a friend of mine said she was anxious about how they would fare in their new church. A very wise minister told her not to worry, re-assuring her with these words

Different sheep, but the same Shepherd!

  3. Are the longwools really pink? Was thinking about you in our service this morning. All over the world the same shepherd x

  4. That pink colour IS odd, I agree. Maybe they are fed on Red Leicester cheese?
