LITTLE LAMBS

Living in rural East Texas, I am used to cattle – big, tough, every color, and every breed you can imagine.  After all, this is Texas and it IS cattle country. Then I saw a small herd of sheep on a spread not far from us and I became hooked. Passing this herd of...

R(edemption) & R(econciliation)
