sweetgrassWhat does it mean to take care of sheep? The movie Sweetgrass follows  cowboys, aka, shepherds, leading their flocks of sheep up into Montana's Absaroka-Beartooth mountains for summer pasture. Below  is  a clip from the film, available on  Netflix.

Oh come, let us sing to the LORD; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!

Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!

For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also.

The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.

Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!

For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
