"He personally carried away our sins in his own body on the cross so we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. You have been healed by his wounds!
Once you were wandering like lost sheep. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls." I Pet 2

The government is awarding itself powers to destroy any it chooses, and no right of appeal will exist.

SO far this year we have slaughtered and burnt four-and-a-half million of them

I hate to show my ignorance, but WHY ?

Damn this is truly a sad story. Make me want to cry over some steaming mutton!

Phillip Keller has written a very heart touching book titled "A Shepher Looks at Psalm 23". He is a shepherd in real life and brings the 23rd Psalm to rich meaning that will make you laugh and and make you dry, but most of all, will give insight to the Lord's view of us and how we really are very much like sheep and how He really is the Good Shepherd.

It isn't a large book, but it is one that you will probably read more than once. I have given numerous copies as gifts and the response has always been gratifying.

Just thought you might be interested. Merry Christmas.

A beautiful post. The Agnus Dei has always been my favorite section of the Mass. I am listening to Palestrina's Mass as I Freep!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I posted a truly horrific picture last winter at the height of this government slaughter of the bodies of destroyed sheep burning on a funeral pyre -- the smoke filling the valley. Really eerie. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the piece (it was a picture from the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel "Picture of the Week") and I can't find it anymore with a self search. I would have liked to have posted it to go with your story. It really illustrates the story better than 10,000 words.

I can't imagine how the English farmer is to be able to make it. As for the rest of us, we can expect good wool sweaters to cost a lot more.
