High School Rodeo


To the untrained eye, I took the day off. But to those who understand the intricacies of youth ministry, I worked my tail off. Honestly, my work output for the day fell somewhere between these two extremes.

I went to the State High School Finals Rodeo today. They had a show at 12.30 and one at 7.00. The first one was highlighted by Colin and Ryan Domer (two Seaman guys) finishing first in the team roping. I don't know either guy very well, but they seem like quality people. Ramsey, Ireland, and CJ went with me.

FUNNY IRELAND COMMENTS OF THE DAY:
-"I guess I really don't need a horse, I'll just take a cowboy instead." She planned out her life during the slow parts of the rodeo, bringing me more comic material than I will ever really know what to do with.
-"How do I become a Rodeo Queen...do I have to be able to ride a horse?"

The 7.00 p.m. show was a good one too. I took Gage. It was his first rodeo. I don't really know if he liked it, but I had a good time.

I was kind of disappointed I didn't get to fight. I really would like to fight at some of these high school events. I learned in Joplin how big of an out reach that is. I took my stuff hoping someone wouldn't show...my stuff slept in the car all day though. O Well.

I'm taking my Sunday School class to Cowboy Church on Sunday though. That should be awesome.
