Cowboy In Church

"Cathedral Tour"*

*While visiting St Patrick's Cathedral on a tour of
New York City, my daughter and her children
were awed by the sight.

The kids were especially curious about the votive
candles, so my daughter asked if they'd each like to light one.

She explained that is it customary to say a prayer
of petition or thanks, and she was careful to tell
them that these are not like birthday candles.

"Do you have any questions?" she asked.

"No," said the five-year-old, "but if there's a pony
outside, it's mine."

"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 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."
