“I am the good shepherd.” Another of the statements Jesus makes recorded in the book of John.

Be Lost In The Wonder
The total eclipse that many of us were able to witness yesterday was quite a site to see! I appreciate those who were able to capture the vast reach of God, our Creator, on film. We are drawn to the unknown, but have we lost the awe and wonder of just how big our God …
