The 99 Sheep parable. The one sheep who went astray, looking for better things for itself. Going to rocks in cliffs, sewers in the city, and unplowed fields; it could find no suitable land to inhabit. Alone, cold, afraid, the sheep has accepted that this is the new life. Day to day it struggled providing for itself, caring for itself, and protecting itself. Once the Sheppard reclaimed this one sheep and went home rejoicing, the sheep realized where it went wrong. The sheep had everything and more whenever it was within the group of 99. It had a safe place to lay, plenty of family, and a protector that stayed up all times of night. The question is, why didn't the other 99 scatter once The Sheppard went searching for the one? Because the 99 knew exactly how wonderful, how magnificent, and how pleasing it was to be in the flock. All were loved and cherished, in a place where none would harm them. The Sheppard knew each by name, and cared for them as if they were his children. Today, there is a stark difference between those who are fully bought into Christianity at every turn, and those who have not truly believed how wonderful it is with the 99. The 99 did not scatter because they were scared to leave, it was because they knew that with The Sheppard, there was no better way to live. In The Sheppard resides their Hope. Commit to being in the flock, so you can see exactly how much joy the Lord wants in your life. It may be difficult to continue, but once you understand, you will never turn back. All my love I leave with you.

One of the best ways to deal with your issues, or uncomfortable situations; is to completely ignore them until they go away. Because eventually, they will solve themselves and you won't have to worry about them anymore. This a method that has worked for a very small percentage of people world wide, but it can be done. I hope my overwhelming sarcasm can be detected through these letters. You only grow whenever you face those things, and you know exactly what they are. You do not grow by just living another day, but by going against the grain and evaluating what you are missing. Growth is uncomfortable, but regret is necrotic. Love you all individually and totally.
