COWBOYISMS

The odds of heaven being real you say…

The odds of heaven being real you say. It's not the odds that bother me, it's the stakes if  you're wrong. LVD

The difference between success and failure is…

The difference between success and failure is continuing to try, after a failure to succeed. LVD

If you hold onto the hurt from yesterday…

If you hold onto the hurt from yesterday, you will never grasp everything that today has to offer. LVD

Listen more, talk less…

If you can find a reason to laugh every day, you'll find that your mood will improve, your relationships with others will seem more meaningful and effortless, and life's hurdles won't seem so daunting... LVD Psalms 144:15 Happy is that people,that is in such a case:...

Anger is best addressed….

Anger is best addressed after a slow ride with a good friend.

If you think a cowboy is easy to keep…

If you think a cowboy is easy to keep, try tying a tiger to a saddle seat, they're quiet and gentle most of the time.
