Have you ever ridden any hard trails? Did wonder how and why they were there? Listen to this weeks story about some trails and the animals and Cowboys who traveled them and what it all might mean. Then we'll try to answer those questions.

Scripture reference: James 1: 2-4

"You know, Boss, he said finally, "I've been reading over in the Gospel of Mark, in that old bible I got from that peddler who came to camp some time back."

He looked over at me. "I reckon if the Son of God wasn't above serving folks, I ain't either."
