For those of you who happen to be cowboys and Catholic, or even if you aren't, you might enjoy this picture taken from the cover of the July 1961 Catholic Extension magazine. It is the most popular cover they ever produced.

Hi Tbone,
Very nice picture. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Regards,
Senta :rolleyes:

You're welcome Senta.

It is an image I would venture to say most folks don't conjure up when thinking of cowboys, but it is none the less authentic.

I thought it demonstrated the spiritual side of the cowboy very well. I know many cowboys who are tough as nails and the typical cowboy in every way yet they are also very dedicated to Christ.

Glad you enjoyed the picture.

Tbone;

Great Picture and I am not a Catholic but I agree with you completely. :) I mix and work with Real Cowboys every day at the 26 Bar Ranch and most of them are believers but they do not Wear it on Their Sleeves or on their Stetson Hat. :rolleyes:

The Cowboys that I know are Catholic, Mormons and Baptist, and after all they work with God's World Every Day, :) not the Asphalt Jungle that most people of today must live in! :fear2:

Bill :cowboy:

Hi all,

Emmanuel.

Chili Bill,

That working with God's World every day is at the heart of it! I think if more folks were there day to day working the land our collective outlook on things would be for the better.

Thanks,
Tbone

Thanks Tbone, it is really a very nice picture.

Thanks Emmanuel and Colorado Bob for the good words.

Emmanuel,

This is a little off topic but I was wondering how the self-governance efforts are going in the North these days. Having an up front view of things there, do you think they will succeed? What is the general sense of the people there about it?

Simply perfect...

Thanks Baby Sister...

This was truly one of those situations where I thought the picture was worth a thousand words. Simple yet profound...
