Reason #9: He calls himself a sheep dog

Mike knows the heart of the Father and the voice of the Shepherd.

He does not let his status as a brother get in the way of his calling to gather the sheep and keep them moving all in the direction of the Shepherd's choosing.  His brotherly relationship with the sheep and the shepherd is a much stronger motivator than his bark or his bite.

He is rarely tired and possesses the capacity to sheep dog other sheep dogs in a similar manner as he sheep dogs the sheep.
