Christian Wrangler Camp - June 18-22, 2012
|
Loving Kids to Jesus, Cowboy style...
Christian Wrangler Camp, or CWC, is a non-profit organization with an all volunteer
staff. Our goals provide a unique camp experience at the lowest cost possible in
order to make CWC available to all children regardless of income.
We're Riding for the Brand
Louis LaAmour described "Riding for the Brand" in the following manner. "The
term riding for the brand? was an expression of loyalty to a man's employer or the
particular outfit he rode for. It was considered a compliment of the highest order
in an almost feudal society. If a man did not like a ranch or the way they conducted
their affairs he was free to quit, and many did, but if he stayed on he gave loyalty
and expected it.
A man was rarely judged by his past, only by his actions. Many a man who came west
left things behind him he would rather forget, so it was not the custom to ask questions.
Much was forgiven if a man had courage and integrity and if he did his job. If a
man gave less than his best, somebody always had to take up the slack, and he was
not admired."
The application of this term to the Christian walk is obvious. Living the life of
the Christian is one of the most difficult things a person will ever attempt. Some
days we do good; on others we can only manage to stumble along. The awesome truth
is that we are saved by God?s precious grace not by what we do. It is equally true
that if we have been touched by the hand of God and have experienced His grace upon
our lives, it will be visible to others. There simply is no such thing as a closet
Christian. It doesn?t matter if he?s a cowboy or a dude.
