Summary

This quote suggests that the essence of Christianity can be understood through the imagery of a flock. By referring to believers as a flock, it highlights the idea of a collective group being guided and protected by a shepherd, who in Christian faith is often associated with Jesus Christ. The term "pathetic" here might imply a sense of vulnerability and dependency, stressing the need for guidance and unity in the Christian community. Overall, the quote seems to encapsulate the core principles of faith, adherence to a higher power, and the importance of communal support within Christianity.

Our pets rely on us entirely for their nutrition. So if you're making your own judgments, that could lead to a mistake. At the same time, we have more control over our pet's diet than we do with our children or with ourselves, so your vet can tell you what is appropriate for your dog and you can assign them that.

I fear dying in the middle of a book. It would be so annoying to write 80,000 words and not get to the end. I'm phobic about it. So when I'm writing a book I leave messages all over the house for people to know how the story ends, and then someone can finish it for me.

It just was a gradual development over the years. I mean last year was 'all you need is Love.' This year, it's 'all you need is Love and peace, baby.' Give peace a chance, and remember Love. The only hope for us is peace. Violence begets violence. You can have peace as soon as you like if we all pull together. You're all geniuses, and you're all beautiful. You don't need anyone to tell you who you are. You are what you are. Get out there and get peace, think peace, and live peace and breathe peace, and you'll get it as soon as you like.

Peace
