"We Report, EWE Decide."



Shepherds are decision makers. Every day they are faced with a multitude of decisions that need to be made regarding the care of their unsuspecting, often vulnerable sheep.




A little direction here would be nice!
Sheep are dependent upon the Shepherd for eating,drinking, & all sleeping arrangements. Deciding what's best for the sheep is the Shepherd's primary responsibility.
 
 
Hmm! Do Ewe believe in heaven? I believe I'm there! 
Decisiveness can be observed in the world of nature in the life of the Osprey. The Osprey's ability to make swift & correct decisions enables it to achieve 90% accuracy on  fishing expeditions!
  
 
 
Time to leave "school" & go to lunch !
 
 
An Osprey's keen eyesight enables it to spot fish swimming from high above the lake. They must be decisive regarding their capability of lifting the size & weight of the fish.Ospreys have powerful wings & sharp talons which afford them unique fishing abilities.
 
 
"Pardon me Mr. Bird, but I don't recall ordering a taxi!"
 
A Shepherd loves his sheep & makes decisions that will make the sheep's life optimum! As Ewe reflect on the Good Shepherd, & all the decisions He makes, rejoice that Ewe are in capable hands!
 
 
 "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me
beside the still waters."Ps.23:1,2


EWE are what I decide to wake up for!

It Takes all Types!

Journey through life, & Ewe will be sure to encounter a smorgasbord of "Personality" types.  

Ewe can give me the "BAAAD" NEWS,! I'm all EARS!

The"Black Sheep," known for their tendency to rebel, are the first to object, argue, refuse, and are often seen running in the opposite direction of the rest of the flock.


"Did Ewe see the movie, "Rebel Without a Cause?"

The "cool cats" ward off intimacy and criticism by attempting to impress the flock with their superiority. 
 
"Are ewe feeling Lucky? Go ahead & Make my Day!"
 
The "Fiercely Independent" can "take or leave" the rest of the herd, and prefer to "go it alone" whenever possible. They keep others at a distance by projecting the image that they are doing perfectly fine on their own.  



One is not the loneliest number! Have ewe heard my favorite song, "I Did it My Way?"

 The "Class Clowns" use humor to avoid conflict and are masters at deflecting "serious talk" by keeping things light at all times. They provide the flock with plenty of laughs and entertainment.

Lighten Up! When ewe smile, the whole world smiles with ewe!


The "Intellectual" is constantly seeking more knowledge and is passionate about educating EWE about things EWE didn't think EWE needed to know. When in doubt, ask the expert!


Here's a News Flash!My brain's smarter than Ewe-r brain!


  Finally, Ewe have the, "Image Is Everything" type. Always hip and trendy, they tend to gravitate toward impressing others with "things" and rarely expose what lies beneath the surface. Outward appearance is everything!

No, this wasn't accidental. Haven't EWE 'herd'? 'Color mismatching' is all the rage this Fall.



Whatever personality types are in Ewer midst, it's best to remember that we are all still Sheep in need of a Shepherd!

Keep it simple! I just want to be a sheep,"Baaah, Baaaah!"

The Good Shepherd created all types of Sheep. We all need Him and each other. Look to Him & rejoice, as He guides & directs Ewe today!


"Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another."
