                    Phillip Keller writes of his experience of shepherding:

                    WHAT LOVE DOES
1. Love is Patient – v4
It takes a long time before fuming & breaking into flames. Love doesn’t retaliate. Love’s patience is the ability to be inconvenienced by a person over & over again without getting angry.
