OF PATIENCE & PROMISES

 

 

 



"Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry." Hebrews 10:35-37

Roy Rogers

I had the chance to meet Jay Silverheels [Tonto] at the Lions Bluegrass Fair in Lexington back in the middle 60s when I was around 10 years old. My Dad handled the advertising for the Fair and the family went the night Jay was headlined. I chickened out, but my Mom got Jay's autograph. I understand that he was quite a successful businessman. My real childhood hero, however, was Roy Rogers. He and Dale made quite an impact on my early years. Actually, they still are impacting my life. I just ran across another of Dale's books at an anitques show this past weekend. It is a collection of letters to her son, Tom, that was released back in 1957. Even years after she is gone, she is "helping" me through the horrific spiritual valleys where I currently walk.

Lone Ranger

The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert. After they got their tent all set up, both men fell sound asleep. > > Some hours later, Tonto woke the Lone Ranger and said, > "Kemo Sabe, look at sky. What you see?" > > The Lone Ranger replied, "I see millions of stars." > > "What that tell you?" asked Tonto. > > The Lone Ranger pondered for a minute and then said, > "Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. > Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. >Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. >Theologically, the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. >Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. >What's it tell you, Tonto?" > > "You dumber than buffalo patties. It mean someone stole tent.
