The first day of Vacation Bible School went well (225 in attendance) and I am getting ready for day number two.
Speaking of number two, that is about the only element missing in Jaclyn's authentic VBS decorations.
There are saddles, horses, bridles, lariats, hitching posts, etc. scattered all around First Baptist Church .. just no "cow pies" (on second thought, I suppose I've 'stepped in it' enough in 35 years of ministry .. good call).
Today's blog post will continue the western theme for the week.
COWBOY QUOTES & TIPS
- Don't let your yearnings get ahead of your earnings.
- Never miss a good chance to shut up.
- Don't dig for water under the outhouse.
- The only good reason to ride a bull is to meet a nurse.
- If you climb in the saddle, be ready for the ride.
- Behind every successful rancher is a wife who works in town.
- The horse stopped with a jerk-- and the jerk fell off.
- Any cowboy can carry a tune. The trouble comes when he tries to unload it.
- When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be surprised if they learn their lesson.
- Always drink upstream from the herd.
- Generally, you ain't learnin' nothing when your mouth's a-jawin'.
- Tellin' a man to git lost and makin' him do it are two entirely different propositions.
- If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there with ya.
- The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back into your pocket
- Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from any direction.
- Don't worry about bitin' off more'n you can chew; your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger'n you think.
Gotta' ride. See you tomorrow!
"Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle .." - Psalm 32:9a
