Today's Gospel talks about wayward, lost sheep.  I don't know about sheep, but we had a beagle once.  Perhaps beagle is much more relatable to an urban society than a sheep.  Beagles act like sheep, which makes the point as Isaiah prophecies about the coming Messiah saying, "All we like "beagles" have gone astray.  Everyone has turned to his own way. And, the Lord placed on Him the iniquity of us all."  What is it about a beagle or a shepherd who abandons a whole flock to look for one sheep, or even about the woman who turned her house upside down to find a lost coin have to do with God's love for us.  Find out how we all howl like beagles.
