Prayers for TexasCowboy!
TexasCowboy has been using his hip injury as an excuse to prevent his friends from shooting his new riot gun.
Well some of us offered to take a look at it for him and he decided both a proffesional and sober opinion might make more sense.
So he found a coupon and now he is going to let some old saw-bones cut on him.
Probably a better idea than letting us do it, but a few folks feelings are still hurt!
Please all say a prayer for our Cowboy that he is back in the saddle again real soon.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day.
Well if you insist, then I guess I have no choice.
You have one too. And for goodness sake TRY and be good. Try it once, you might like it, I didn't but you might.
It so happens re
"The Center's weapon has been the Endangered Species Act, the 1973 law designed to protect vanishing species and their habitat."
that in 2002 TexasCowboy began a petition to send to Congress to STOP The Endangered Species Act.
The precipitating thing was the attempt in Oregon to divert the river waters so the precious fishies could 'survive.'
(They actually were multiplying!)
As a consequence, farmers who held water rights could not get enough to maintain their crops.
It received major national press attention, Fox News Channel's William Longeunesse reporting on site.
They and ranchers and the loggers of the northwest all suffered, making MANKIND the truly Endangered Species!!
Unable to farm/ranch/log because of protected fish, spotted owls, etc., they were unable to support their families, trickling down to grocery stores and department stores and restaurants and every level of local economies. Many lost homes/bsinesses and were forced to move away.
Thank you for this interesting account of a COWBOY WINNER!!

And when you can feel His tangible presence, be thankful. He knows your weaknesses and your need for reassurance.
I won't stop praying for you Tex. I can't wait to rejoice with you when you come through this on the other side of the tunnel.
Don't fret over past sins. Although this a good time to "get clean" before the Lord; the enemy will constantly bring up your failures to make you feel unworthy and to hinder your trust in the Lord. Instead, make a pledge to heaven that from this day forward, "All to the Glory of God whatever the cost and whatever that means."
The Lord has never abandoned you but is holding your hand through it all.
Job 23:8-12
8 "But if I go to the east, he is not there;
if I go to the west, I do not find him.
9 When he is at work in the north, I do not see him;
when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.
10 But he knows the way that I take;
when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
11 My feet have closely followed his steps;
I have kept to his way without turning aside.
12 I have not departed from the commands of his lips;
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.
Rom 8:28-39
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all-how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died-more than that, who was raised to life-is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I will stop now as I myself am under conviction and would ask that you would pray for me, your weaker brother in the Lord.
Ps 51:1-52:1
Psalms 51
51:1 For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. 4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge. 5 Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. 6 Surely you desire truth in the inner parts; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. 8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. 9 Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity.
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will turn back to you. 14 Save me from bloodguilt, O God, the God who saves me, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness. 15 O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. 16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
18 In your good pleasure make Zion prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then there will be righteous sacrifices, whole burnt offerings to delight you; then bulls will be offered on your altar.
(from New International Version)
Yes! I was even tasked with rescuin Angelique from the white cliffs of Dover, hangin by her petticoats phrom the branches, Remmemer???
