JOKE:

A Texas cowboy rode into a small Oklahoma town and stopped at a saloon for a beer.  Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on strangers, which he was.  When he finished his drink and went outside to leave, he found his horse had been stolen.  He went back into the saloon, handily flipped his gun into the air, caught it above his head without even looking, and fired a shot into the ceiling.

“Which one of you sidewinders stole my horse,” he bellowed.

No one answered.  “Awright, I’m gonna have another beer and if my horse ain’t back by the time I finish, I’m gonna do what I did in Texas, and I don’t like to do what I done in Texas.”

The locals shifted nervously.

The cowboy had another beer, walked outside, and his horse had been returned to the post.  He saddled up and started to ride out of town.

The bartender ran out and asked, “Say pardner, before you go, what happened in Texas?”

The cowboy turned back and said, “I had to walk home.”

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, thank you for this beautiful day we been blessed with. We lift our city of Liberty Hill in pray and ask that you bless this time with family and friends as we come together today for food, fun and games. In Jesus name we pray, AMEN.

JOKE:

This is funny because I actually used to know this guy.

Bubba Smith was a devout Christian cowboy who was out in his forerunner one day mending the fences on his ranch when he lost his favorite red leather Bible somewhere in one of the pastures.  He had owned it for most of his life and was devastated.

About 3 weeks later, one of my donkeys walked up to him carrying the Bible in her mouth.  Bubba couldn’t believe it!  He carefully took the precious book out of her mouth, raised his eyes and arms towards the sky and exclaimed, “It’s a miracle!”

“Naw it ain’t.” my donkey said, “Your name is embossed in the bottom right hand corner.”

PRAYER:

Father God we give you thanks for all our blessings and ask that you bless this time with family and friends as we come together for food, fun and games.

JOKE:

A cowboy, who just moved to Wyoming from Texas , walks into a bar and orders three mugs of Bud. He sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more.

The bartender approaches and tells the cowboy, “You know, a mug goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time.”

The cowboy replies, “Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in Arizona , the other is in Colorado . When we all left our home in Texas , we promised that we’d drink this way to remember the days when we drank together. So I’m drinking one beer for each of my brothers and one for myself.”

The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there.

The cowboy becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way. He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn.

One day, he comes in and only orders two mugs. All the regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, “I don’t want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss.”

The cowboy looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his eyes and he laughs.

“Oh, no, everybody’s just fine,” he explains, “It’s just that my wife and I joined the Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking.”

“Hasn’t affected my brothers though.”

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, we. Thank you for this day, that we can come together to enjoy conversation, food, fun and games with family and friends. Bless this food today and very day, that we don’t go without.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen

JOKE:

My wife has not spoken to me in three days. I think it has something to do with what happened on Sunday night when she thought she heard a noise downstairs.

She nudged me and whispered, “Wake up, wake up!”

What’s the matter?. I asked.

“There are burglars in the kitchen.

I think they’re eating the tuna casserole I made tonight.”

That’ll teach them! I replied.
