| Jesus the Cowboy! He was a lot like you and me. The government wanted to control Him. The church thought He was strange. He didn’t have many friends, and most of them couldn’t be counted on when times got hard. He was persecuted by the religious hypocrites. He hung around people like you and me, not the people who thought they were really something special. Yea, if Jesus were here on this earth today, He would be right there next to you, on His horse. Maybe in the ropin’ pen or out gathering cattle, telling you He loved you ……….Enough to die for you! |

| COWBOY IS HIS NAME There's a hundred years of history And a hundred before that. All gathered in the thinkin' Goin' on beneath his hat. The cold flame burns within' him 'Till his skins as cold as ice And the dues he paid to get here Are worth every sacrifice. All the miles spent sleepy drivin' All the money down the drain, All the "if I's" and "nearly's", All the bandages and pain. All the femal tears left dryin', All the fever and the fight, Are just a small down payment, On the ride he'll make tonight. It's guts and love and glory, One mortals shot at fame, His legacy is RODEO, And COWBOY is his name. Baxter Black |

| The Horse You know, Not many people in this world has got to hear the sound of a 1000 horses thundering hooves coming across the plains and mountains of the West... or to see a colt born in the morning dew.. To see a horse is to see beauty, strength, nobility and courage..... Without the horse what would have become of man.... The horse has served us for transportation, in agriculture, in industry and in every kind of activity since the dawn of time.... The horse is the cowboys best friend and partner... Its somene for cowboy to trust, to talk to, to share his feeling with... whether its fear, happiest, sadness or riches..... The horse will always listen and never judge... My grandfather was a cowboy, a rancher and a horse trainer..... He taugh me everything I know about horses and life....... right before He passed away He said " I see a white horse coming to take me home" Even horses come to take us to Heaven....
