EVEN THE YOUTHS SHALL FAINT

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

Isaiah 40:31

A PSALM OF DAVID/A PRAYER FOR GUIDANCE

"Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in Thy faithfulness answer me, and in Thy righteous. And enter not into judgement with Thy servant: for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified. For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Thy works; I muse on the work of Thy hands. I stretch forth my hands unto Thee; my soul thirsteth after Thee, as a thirty land. Selah. Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not Thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. Cause me to hear Thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in Thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto Thee. Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto Thee to hide me. Teach me to do Thy will; for Thou art my God: Thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. Quicken me, O Lord, for Thy name's sake: for Thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. And of Thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am Thy Servant." Psalm 143

DENNY & SPANKY AT RUPP ARENA

This, however, was their 1st appearance in 2 years after their Wild West Entertainment Company relocated to Ocala, FL. Many people commented how glad they were to see them back at Rupp Arena, even if just for a short visit. Several said that the duo always added an extra touch of excitement to the football games. A number of people came out after the performance to meet the guys and get autographed photos. Check out http://www.dennychapman.blogspot.com/ for more pics and info. There were about 5,000 fans in attendance for the game. A side note: The Corner Stone Cowboy was privileged to be a small part of WWEC's crew for the performance.

THE CORNER STONE COWBOY GOES INTERNATIONAL

Howdy all! OK, I don't like most pics of myself, but here is one that is not too bad. This is me showing my friend Tattoo how to crack an American bull whip. Tattoo is a co-owner of the Japanese bakery, JTan, next door to our shop, The Corner Stone. We are out behind the stores practicing with the whips. One of Tattoo's co-workers took this photo a few weeks ago and he just now got it posted to his blog back home in Tokyo. It is rough being next door to a bakery with all of those smells coming through the walls, but somebody has to do it. :-) I think the Corner Stone Cowboy is up to the task. Happy Trails.......

WE ARE THE CLAY

"But now, O Lord, Thou art our Father; we are the clay, and Thou our potter; and we all are the work of Thy hand."
