The view from one of my bird-watching perches, shown above, overlooks the fields in front of the school. Now, in the southern winter, with most of the crops harvested, the fields are frequented by herdboys and their animals. The work of a shepherd was the theme for the sermon this past Sunday at the Lesotho Evangelical Church (LEC) at Masitise. Several of the men in the congregation spoke on the text taken from I Peter 5:2-3. Most men in Lesotho, at some point in their youth, have taken on the job of being a shepherd. Lesotho is mostly a land without fences so the herdboys are a necessity to keep the animals from mischief.
