The Village Shepherd
Jo's New Teacher
Children's Story
When Jesus meets the woman by the well, he doesn't see an enemy of the state or a glorified prostitute or a mere woman, he sees a person with great potential. Today's story is about Joanne, whose self-respect and love of life is restored when somebody sees through the outward appearances to the real her inside.
Joanne was sitting by herself on the swing in the children's playground, scuffing her toe in the dust. She mostly sat here in the evenings after school, until she thought her Dad would be home from work. Then she'd go home.
