You know, Lord, the following is an old story, but having just lost a couple of friends, this story seemed somewhat right on, so to speak. The author of this "long ago" story is unknown, but it seemed so fitting for this little description to be shared, so here goes: "A little boy was riding alone on a train on a very hot day when all of the travelers were extremely uncomfortable; and the scenery was not too interesting at all as they passed through the desert of Arizona.

Many of the ideas and scriptures for this article are from the devotional “God Wants You To Win!” by world champion calf roper Jeff Copenhaver. Philippians 3:14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. There are times in life when we perform better than others.

That is why Big Mike sent Charlie and me to guide the herd to new pastures when the old one was grazed over. We did indeed find some cows who led the...
