So yesterday a friend and I were talking and he told me about in Ps. 23 it says that God MAKES me lie down in green pastures. He said that the only way to make a sheep lie down was if the shepherd would take his hook, grab a back leg, and BREAK the sheep’s leg! Then with a broken leg the sheep would lie down and not run off so much. hmmm, I think, that’s crazy. So then I do some research. Turns out it’s a true practice of shepherds all over the world! If a sheep wanders off too much, to protect it from getting lost or eaten or whatever, the shepherd will actually snap one of its legs! Then, since the thing can’t walk without great pain, he has to carry it around everywhere he goes. He puts it down in the green pasture, he sits it by some water, he picks it up when there is danger and puts it in a safe place. Then after a time of being held by the shepherd for so...
