Round Up

Have you ever had the pleasure of going on a round up. Donning boots and jeans and saddling a horse to gather cattle. To look for the strays and drive them all to be worked. I can still smell the burning of cow hide as they were branded. Cows were dehorned and castrated all during the round up.

The church where I am preaching these days is having a round up Sunday. We have been busy inviting and trying to get the strays into the pen of God's house. Some are rebellious and stubborn. Some are going along headed toward the pen. We are especially after the unchurched strays and the lost ones.

Once they are penned we are trusting Jesus to put His brand on them. A "S" or "R" standing for SAVED and REDEEMED.

There are so many strays and our cow hands are few. There are many more strays than our little pen can hold. We are thankful our owner has many other pens and cow hands working as well. We may not be able to gather the whole county but we can gather in our pasture.

We'll eat some good vittles afterward. We will also have a singing following lunch. We will feed on the Holy Bible as well. Please pass the word. Round Up Sunday is fast approaching. All fun starts this Sunday April 22 @ 10:00 a.m. @ Heritage Baptist Church in Weatherford, TX.
