Sheepdogs, Really?

Unless you know my husband well, you may think that title of this blog is a little odd.  A couple of years ago, Paul shared an article with me that explained our society quite well.  If you haven't read it Click Here.  In short, it explains that our society is split into three categories: Sheepdogs, Sheep, and Wolves.  This is something that we take very seriously. 

Living in the world that we do, we want to teach our children to have the heart of a warrior but a deep love for their fellow citizens, similar to that of St. Michael the Archangel.  I don't think it is a coincidence that Paul was born on St. Michael's feast day, September 29th. 

When we talk about being a sheepdog, this doesn't only apply to literally protecting our country.  It's an attitude, a mindset, a lifestyle.  It means that you will go through the tough stuff to get to the greater good.  When you are faced with a challenge, you won't back down because it is hard, rather you take it on, and fight for what is right.  This is applied to our country, our relationships, raising children, money, EVERYTHING.
