This is a watercolor of what I remember from the wilderness in Israel. The green pastures are the oasis in the midst of the desert. This is all I need, the sheep says of what his shepherd provides for him. "I shall not want." And this is why a shepherd is so important. The sheep would never make it to the oasis without the shepherd's lead, his voice, his care. I painted this on our All Staff Spiritual Retreat--we reflected on Psalm 23 and John 10. I wrote a poem.
