the Texas Monthly is right
I was flippin through the Texas Monthly magazine for fun today, and came across an ad for Frost Bank. They like to use local folk to portray their clients.
well this caught my eye, b/c it was of a cowboy. Here is what he had to say:
Ignacio Hsantillan: "Many consider the life of a cowboy to be a hard one, but not me. If you like this work, being outside with the cows and the beautiful mountains, its not hard at all. Not even when its cold or raining. Find something you like and then do it for the rest of your life.
If only I could be a cowboy, driven cattle and workin till the sun went down. Yesterday at church I was thinking this exact same thought. There is a new series on PBS coming out that is from the 1867 time period, asking for people to submit their application to be a cowboy for 4 months, on the Texas Ranch. How awesome would that be. Get away from the worries of this life, and live in another time. A dream of mine, I'd say to do that. But is it possible? No not really. Living with an insulin pump pretty much limits the amount of time you can be out in the heat as well as away from a refridgerator and pharmacy. It doesnt seem like that will ever be a possibility.
Are there other things in life that follow this same line of thinking? things you would dream to do. Things you believe is where your life belongs? Where your gifts and talents could be used in perfection? I think there are. But there is a priority in our lives that may override all of that? Don't you? Like...your children, and their health?
I do not consider making a decision to ensure the health of your children and your family a "sacrifice" of my wants... but a desire of me. My time, my dreams, my life, my talents, my hopes and my wishes ... are now shared with my wife and my children. And what that means to me is that those decisions I need to pray over, have their dreams, their talents and their hopes in the forefront of my mind.
Steve ... read into it as much as you can, to decide for yourself what it is I'm talking about.
