A Traveling Cowboy's Prayer

For the long time rodeo friend of mine.

45
A Traveling Cowboy's Prayer
C. Fields

Lord forgive him for his rough and rowdy ways.

Lord he knows not what he's done today.


Forgive him for not finding Your love sooner and all he did.

Lord please shed that devil from his shoulder and love him rid.


Lord I ask You to forgive him for this life we've all come to live on the road.

We have learned we need You today and forever to pull these heavy loads.


We've all gone astray more times than we should.

I know there was a lot of times he's started to walk away but never could.


Lord forgive him for all the wicked women he's loved one night at a time.

I know they didn't have his heart but I promise you he had mine.


I ask You to forgive those worn out boots for walking him down the wrong paths.

And Lord, he will always find his way home as You look down with Your wrath.


We love you today and for always Lord as You call us up to Your living arms one year.

And I know there is but one thing in this life we should all fear.


All men bleed the same and we are all created equal.

Some of us forget that sometimes Lord and make parts of this world a little evil.


But Lord we say this prayer and all others in Your heavenly and precious name.

And we give all the glory to You oh God and we worship in all Your fame.


Thank you for today and always Lord as we ask You to watch over the ones we love.

And forgiving us Lord, and for that I really can't thank You enough.


I appreciate You for taking his soul and mine alike and for our old hearts that you came in.

And Lord as always we say this prayer in Your precious name, Amen.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
