I'm not sure being a sheep means boredom. I think it means learning dependence on the Shepherd and trusting him to guide you where you need to be. It also means community with the other sheep. It also means protection and life. Just a few thoughts on being a sheep.
Absolutely. Depending on what "sheep" you're talking about...
When I read this quote, I was in the mindset that "sheep" meant people who have to follow everyone else, even false shepherds who have no business leading any flock/group/herd. To me, it's about being who you are and not being defined by any other person. A recurring DragonFLY theme. And, of course, we know what happens to wolves who act out with ill intent...They end up alone and without anyone.
For me, this quote is more about the choice of being yourself, being like everyone else or being against everyone.
Just some background on Mr. Parmet -- He recently set off on his own business venture based on his talents and skills. Since then, he shared how he could never go back to working in an office setting. In addition, it has given him more time with his family. Plus, he gets to wear jeans and has no commute.
Living life one celebration at a time with a heart full of gratitude and love in the Sunshine State. Wife to Mr. Wonderful. Mom to Baby Girl. Friend to Super Heroes. My vices are magazines and sugar-free gum. I write more words in a day than some do in a year. Books and Antonio Sabato, Jr. are sexy to me. Love taking pictures of nice people more than the places I go. My favorite color is green and my closet knows it. I appreciate dragonflies because they are most powerful in the summer when it’s warm and sunny (like me) and to some they represent new light and joy. My hope is to share words that are helpful and that allows light to shine in a brighter way. Incredibly grateful too for all of it.
