The Cowboy in Church
OneSaterday a cowboy went to church. When he entered, he saw that he
and the preacher were the only ones present. The preacher asked the
cowboy if he wanted him to go ahead and preach. The cowboy said,
"I'm not too smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only one
showed up, I'd feed him."
So the minister began his sermon.
One hour passed, then two hours, then two-and-a-half hours. The
preacher finally finished and came down to ask the cowboy how he
liked the sermon. The cowboy answered slowly,
"Well, I'm not very smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only
one showed up, I sure wouldn't feed him all the hay."

The Cowboy
A pastor at a frontier church ended a stirring sermon with, "All
those who want to go to heaven, put up your hands!" Everybody
enthusiastically raised their hands.... everybody except a grizzled
old cowboy who had been slouching against the door post at the back
of the room.
All heads turned as he sauntered up to the front, spurs jangling and
said, "Preacher, that was too easy. How d'ya know if these folks
are serious? I c'n gar-an-tee to prove who really means it an' who
don't!"
Bemused and not a little frightenened the preacher said, "Ok,
stranger, go ahead and put the faith of these good people to the
test. Ask them anything you want."
At that the cowpoke pulled his twin six-shooters, turned to the
audience and said, "Alright... who wants to go heaven... raise your
hands!"
