Anyone have anything you would be willing to share????
Please help if you can... 
Thanks much! |
My grandpa was a shepherd when he was young. He had some pretty cool stories. Not sure you want to include anything having to do with having a .22cal long rifle within reach at all times.
He said it was just like camping, it got lonely, and he told me with all that time looking and considering God's creation and landscape, it is no wonder David was able to write the Psalms.
Not sure that helped much. He didn't really mention anything about a staff, maybe that was what the rifle was for in modern times relative to the bible.
