| the sheep fear the sheepdog: Sheep, Predators and Sheepdogs Roy Tucker, 2022-08-01 Enjoying GodaEUR(tm)s protection while safely tucked under His wings can cause one to wonder if he needs to take steps to protect himself. Do I need to carry a sword for protection when there are angels in charge of me? Do I need to lock my door with angels camped outside in my yard? Such things I do ponder in my heart. I read in the book of Proverbs that a wise man perceives the times and dangers approaching and prepares his householdaEURthe fool perishes (Proverbs 22:3). Some say one must live entirely by faith and preparing for a disaster is not living by faith. I wonder, yes, the Lord protected Noah and his family during the great flood, but Noah had to build a boat with his own two hands. The Lord fed a multitude of people with twelve fish, but someone had to catch the fish. He turned water into wine, but someone had to fill the barrel with water from the well. When Satan entered heaven and boldly walked into GodaEUR(tm)s court, the Lord asked him, aEURoeWhere have you been?aEUR Satan replied, aEURoeFrom going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it, to see whom I could devour!aEUR (Job 2:2). We should know that evil can walk right up to us at any given moment, and our sword needs to be ready. If evil can freely and boldly walk into GodaEUR(tm)s court in heaven when he chooses, how much easier for him to walk into our homes, our childrenaEUR(tm)s school, our church, or stand over our bed looking at us while we sleep. King David knew the Lord was watching over him, but he still carried a sword to defend against any evil that may come suddenly upon him, and the Lord Jesus told his disciples that if they did not have a sword, they should go immediately and sell their garments and buy one (Luke 22.36). Indicating it was far better to walk down the street naked than walk down the street unarmed. It is the individualaEUR(tm)s responsibility to protect himself, family, and community when evil approaches. Come, explore this wonderful journey with me. |

| the sheep fear the sheepdog: The Other End of the Leash Patricia McConnell, Ph.D., 2003-04-29 Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships. |

| the sheep fear the sheepdog: Mr. and Mrs. Dog Donald McCaig, 2013-04-15 The New York Times–bestselling author Donald McCaig has established an expansive literary career, founded equally on books about working sheepdogs and the Civil War novels Jacob’s Ladder and Rhett Butler’s People, the official sequel to Gone with the Wind. In his new book, Mr. and Mrs. Dog, McCaig draws on twenty-five years of experience raising sheepdogs to vividly describe his—and his dogs June and Luke’s—unlikely progress toward and participation in the World Sheepdog Trials in Wales. McCaig engagingly chronicles the often grueling experience—through rain, snow, ice storms, and brain-numbing heat—of preparing and trialing Mrs. Dog, June, a foxy lady in a slinky black-and-white peignoir, and Mr. Dog, Luke, a plain worker—no flash to him. Along the way, he relays sage advice from his decades spent talking with America’s most renowned dog experts, from police-dog trainers to positive-training gurus. As readers of McCaig’s novels will expect, Mr. and Mrs. Dog delivers far more than straightforward dog-training tips. Revealing an abiding love and respect for his dogs, McCaig unveils the life experiences that set him on the long road to the Welsh trial fields. Starting with memories of his first dog, Rascal, and their Montana roadtrip in a ’48 Dodge, McCaig leads us into his thirties, when he abandons his New York advertising career to move to a run-down Appalachian sheep farm in the least populous county in Virginia. This 1960s agrarian adventure ultimately brings McCaig, Luke, and June to the Olympics of sheepdog trials. In his narration of one man’s love for his dogs, McCaig offers a powerful portrayal of the connection between humans and their animal companions. |

| the sheep fear the sheepdog: Confession of a Fallen Servant-Guardian Marsha Wiest, 2022-11-03 This book is about understanding the real love between us and God, a two-way love, not the one-way love being lived out by the world today. The title comes from Jesus who said He came to serve and to proclaim the truth of God, His Father. So in practice, He was a Servant and a Guardian. Therefore, every disciple and apostle, except Judas, was and is expected to follow in His footsteps, live by His standard, and to guard the truth of His Holy Word, the Bible. Therefore, in practice, every Christ-centered follower is a designated Servant-Guardian. This story is my personal spiritual autobiography, covering the years it has taken me to finally understand this and the fights I have had with false teachings and teachers along the way. The confession about my fall is a transparent look at my own failures, mistakes, and lack of obedience to my God and Heavenly Father. My prayer is that all who read my story will not fall into the same traps, or if you already have, to find the same restoration and love I have. Love and service on GodaEUR(tm)s terms are all that is asked of us. As Paul said in 1 Corinthians 11:4, aEURoeBe imitators of me, as I am of Christ.aEUR Jesus asks us the sobering question, aEURoeIf people are following you, where are you leading themaEURto heaven or to hell?aEUR |

Richard Boyce USN RETIRED, 2024-10-28 This group of poems is the result of many conversations and memories of some of the finest sailors and officers ever to explore the ocean depths in a submarine. We often discussed our reasons for choosing submarine duty. The answer always seemed to be love of country and a desire to honor the sacrifices of our forefathers. Many just wanted to do something exciting while defending the flag of freedom that was passed down to us. We had taken an oath to defend that flag at all costs. We never discussed the danger that surrounded us or the fact that submariners of other nations were out there participating in that cat-and-mouse game. It was understood that we never discussed the loss of two of our boats, one of which took one of our former shipmates on eternal patrol. Every submarine I rode is now scrap metal, but my memories of those courageous young men I have attempted to preserve in verse. |

| the sheep fear the sheepdog: Rise of the Warrior Cop Radley Balko, 2013-07-09 Now updated with new material, the groundbreaking history of how police forces have become militarized, both in equipment and mindset, and what that means for American democracy. The last days of colonialism taught America's revolutionaries that soldiers in the streets bring conflict and tyranny. As a result, our country has generally worked to keep the military out of law enforcement. But according to investigative reporter Radley Balko, over the last several decades, America's cops have increasingly come to resemble ground troops. The consequences have been dire: the home is no longer a place of sanctuary, the Fourth Amendment has been gutted, and police today have been conditioned to see the citizens they serve as an other-an enemy. Today's armored-up policemen are a far cry from the constables of early America. The unrest of the 1960s brought about the invention of the SWAT unit-which in turn led to the debut of military tactics in the ranks of police officers. Nixon's War on Drugs, Reagan's War on Poverty, Clinton's COPS program, the post-9/11 security state under Bush, Obama: by degrees, each of these innovations empowered police forces, always at the expense of civil liberties. And under Trump, these powers were expanded in terrifying new ways, as evidenced by the tanks and overwhelming force that met the Black Lives Matter protesters in 2020. In Rise of the Warrior Cop, Balko shows how politicians' ill-considered policies and relentless declarations of war against vague enemies like crime, drugs, and terror have blurred the distinction between cop and soldier. His fascinating, frightening narrative shows how over a generation, a creeping battlefield mentality has isolated and alienated American police officers and put them on a collision course with the values of a free society. |

| the sheep fear the sheepdog: A Wolf Called Romeo Nick Jans, 2014-07-01 From award-winning author and photographer Nick Jans, A Wolf Called Romeo is “beautifully written...a thoughtful and moving story about one of nature’s most evocative animals.” (Patricia B. McConnell, author of The Education of Will and The Other End of the Leash) A Wolf Called Romeo is the true story of the exceptional black wolf who spent seven years interacting with the people and dogs of Juneau, Alaska, living on the edges of their community, engaging in an improbable, awe-inspiring interspecies dance, and bringing the wild into sharp focus. When Romeo first appeared, author Nick Jans and the other citizens of Juneau were wary, but as Romeo began to tag along with cross-country skiers on their daily jaunts, play fetch alongside local dogs, or simply lie near Nick and nap under the sun on a quiet afternoon, Nick and the rest of Juneau came to accept Romeo, and he them. Part memoir, part moving animal narrative, part foray into the mystique, lore, science, and history of the wolf, A Wolf Called Romeo is a book no animal lover should miss. “Jans is an exceptional storyteller — no nature writer can top him in terms of sheer emotional force.”—The New York Times “Jans is a perfect narrator for this story. He’s deeply knowledgeable about the Alaskan wilderness and he evokes its harsh beauties in powerful and poetic prose...A tingling reminder of the basic bond that occasionally spans the space between two species.”—Christian Science Monitor |

| the sheep fear the sheepdog: Violent Order David Correia, Tyler Wall, 2021-08-17 This book 's radical theory of police argues that the police demand for order is a class order and a racialized and patriarchal order, by arguing that the police project, in order to fabricate and defend capitalist order,must patrol an imaginary line between society and nature, it must transform nature into inert matter made available for accumulation. Police don 't just patrol the ghetto or the Indian reservation, the thin blue line doesn 't just refer to a social order, rather police announce a general claim to domination--of labor and of nature. Police and police violence are modes of environment-making. This edited volume argues that any effort to understand racialized police violence is incomplete without a focus on the role of police in constituting and reinforcing patterns of environmental racism. |
| the sheep fear the sheepdog: Like Wind, Like Wave Stefano Bolognini, 2010-07-06 An Italian psychoanalyst and raconteur reflects insightfully on life and the common experiences that make us human. “The brief pieces collected in this volume are as much short stories as they are essays as they are psychoanalytic studies. In every chapter, the stage is set for consideration of large matters—the nature of passion, the crucial role of illusion and disillusion in life, what constitutes heroism—but always in relation to a very particular story from the author’s life, and always a story told with the kind of charming humor that points us toward tolerance for and appreciation of the richness of humanity. There is a lovely and beguiling intimacy about Stefano Bolognini’s prose, so that psychoanalytic concepts are never intrusions of jargon, but rather ideas to conjure with, creatively.” —From the Foreword by Owen Renik IN THESE TEN ESSAYS, Stefano Bolognini tells colorful stories from his life, from encounters with a giant Caucasian sheepdog and a martial arts master to a wandering journey through a remote Italian village, and draws out the meaning of these experiences for himself and his readers. Showcasing Bolognini’s gift for storytelling and his remarkable insight, Like Wind, Like Wave marks a welcome return to psychoanalytic writing as a subjective art. as a subjective art. |
