"The Cowboy in Church"
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 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."

"The Cowboy!"
A pastor at a frontier church ended a stirring
sermon with, "All those who want to go to
heaven, put up your hands!" Everybody
enthusiastically raised their hands.... everybody
except a grizzled old cowboy who had been
slouching against the door post at the back of
the room.
All heads turned as he sauntered up to the front,
spurs jangling and said, "Preacher, that was too
easy. How d'ya know if these folks are serious?
I c'n gar-an-tee to prove who really means it an'
who don't!"
Bemused and not a little frightenened the preacher
said, "Ok, stranger, go ahead and put the faith of
these good people to the test. Ask them anything
you want."
At that the cowpoke pulled his twin six-shooters,
turned to the audience and said, "Alright... who
wants to go heaven... raise your hands!"
