I always found it interesting that Jesus refers to believes as “sheep” in his parable. It’s not exactly a complement.
I’d rather be a sheep then a goat. Goats are clever, escape artists, generally trouble. They tend to be more aggressive and irritable too.
Goats are a pain, but they can also be delightful.
My family had milk goats while I was growing up, and they were a lot of fun. I can think of only one that was aggressive toward us, but Dad taught us not to stand for that behavior. (The metal feed basins made good corrective tools.) And yes, they were smart, for instance, learning to climb up into the hay feeder, and from there, leap over the door into the inner part of the barn to sneak feed from the bags.
I realize that over the past few days, I've posted a lot more than I usually do. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I feel freer to post, but I also don't want to dominate.
