This Sunday is Good Shepherd Sunday in some traditions and Dorothy Lee and Robyn Whitaker explore images of both lamb and shepherd for Jesus in John 10:22-30, Psalm 23, and Revelation 7:9-17. Acts 9:36-43 continues the story of God's activity in the early church, this time through the resurrection of Tabitha, a female disciple of Jesus. 

You can read more about Tabitha and the background to Acts 9 at Marg Mowczko's blog. We also mention CS Lewis's The Last Battle.
