Git Along Little Dogies

Vacation Bible School starts this morning at FBC Humboldt and I'm happier than a tick on a fat dog (yes, I'm from the south) because I get to wear the silver-toed cowboy boots the choir gave me a few years ago (if you haven't already guessed .. it's a western theme).

Please pray daily for the boys and girls .. and workers .. especially the workers (we ride in to Saddle Ridge Ranch today at 9 and don't hit the trail until Friday at noon .. high noon).

The following is in honor of this week's theme...

One Sunday, a cowboy went to church. When he entered, he saw that he and the preacher were the only ones present. The preacher asked the cowboy if he wanted him to go ahead and preach. The cowboy said, "I'm not too smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only one showed up, I'd feed him." So the minister began his sermon. One hour passed, then two hours, then two-and-a-half hours. The preacher finally finished and came down to ask the cowboy how he had liked the sermon. The cowboy answered slowly, "Well, I'm not very smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only one showed up, I sure wouldn't feed him all the hay."

A devout cowboy lost his favorite Bible while he was mending fences out on the range. Three weeks later, a cow walked up to him carrying the Bible in its mouth. The cowboy couldn't believe his eyes. He took the precious book out of the cow's mouth, raised his eyes heavenward and exclaimed, “It's a miracle!” “Not really,” said the cow. “Your name is written inside the cover.”

Political correctness is getting ridiculous. The other day I overheard a little boy say he was going to go play a game of Cattle Management Specialists and Native Americans.

Three cowboys were hanging out in the bunkhouse. "I know that smart aleck Tex," said the first. "He's going to start bragging about that new foreign car he bought as soon as he gets back." "Not Tex," the second cowboy replied. "He'll always be just a good ol' boy. When he walks in, I'm sure all he'll say is hello." "I know Tex better than either of you," said the third. "He's so smart, he'll figure out a way to do both. Here he comes now." Tex swung open the bunkhouse door and shouted, "Audi, partners!"

Head 'em up. Move 'em out!
