Sometimes  things come up and just can’t get them off your mind. Here’s one to ponder, just can’t get it off my mind so I brought it to the back porch. As I age I seem to be remembering things from my childhood…not in a morbid sense but of how they kinda shaped who I am today.  As kids we all had heroes, mine were always cowboys. Funny now that I think about it, might have been the reason I enjoyed it so much when my Dad drew Texas as our next duty station and home. Yep…home…I adopted Texas as home, the place where my heroes where born! Well that is a bit much but gosh darn it I was just a kid. Now as James Gregory would say… “well anyway, here’s the thing.” A few years back I wrote a blog about heroes. Was reading Hebrews 11 the other day and I remembered that blog. I want to share it with you…Ponder about it…Who are your Heroes?

Back in the day many young boys dreamed of riding the plains doing good and rescuing the young girls from evil. Mounting the trusty broom and riding the backyard range in search of stray cattle or damsels in distress and even hoping to come across a bad guy or two. Sporting a set of Gene Autry pistols and a new hat and cowboy boots from Sears or the local Western Auto store, we were the picture of young justice and any number of Saturday cowboy shows on the old black and white TV. Sneaking a bit of small rope from dad’s work bench for a lasso, even the dog and cat feared our pass through the backyard range. They were examples of what we admired or wanted to be in our adolescent dreams and wishes…I will not put the whole original blog here…but I do encourage you to read Hebrews Chapter 11. Think I will go to the bunkhouse now, get some rest.

Here is the url for that blog…

Yep, I’m still a kid at heart.
