This Saturday, I may wear them again. I’m entered in Temple Baptist Church’s Missionary Rodeo in Dumas, Texas.
I wasn’t very good back then, so I’m not expecting to win all-around cowboy or anything like that. Hopefully, I’ll have fun and be able to manage my horse well. I don’t think there will be any rough-stock events (that’s bucking events for those not familiar with rodeo lingo), which is good since it would be foolish for me to get on anything that bucks.
I was on a horse about a month ago, so I hope that was a sufficient re-orientation for me.
Here’s my motto for this rodeo:
New Use for Tongue Depressors

I saw this new use for tongue depressors at the minor emergency center in Jerusalem. They had recently relocated and all the new equipment didn’t quite fit. Never mind; a tongue depressor can have a variety of good functions.
In this case, the pedestal was about 10 tongue depressors low. No problem the emergency center has tons of those.
It has been our experience here, that the attitude in construction and finish work is, “That’s good enough.”

During Succot prayers, I noticed this father and son team. The son was praying in the more traditional way: prayer shawl in place, prayer book in front, and facing the Western Wall. The father, on the other hand, appeared to be phoning in his prayer.
Shouldn’t it have been the other way around?
