Cowboys and Knights

Yesterday a four-year-old grandson told me he wanted to be a cowboy someday. I told him there were still cowboys, but not like the ones in the John Wayne movies he loves. They're mostly men who ride after cattle, rope horses, and take care of ranches. 

Yet lots of guys have a cowboy in them. They ride after professional goals, throw a rope around various ambitions, and eat a lot of dust on those trails. They fight the bad guys, protect their women and children, and sheath themselves in honor. Men like that still exist. 

G.K. Chesterton was not a cowboy, but a man of romance and a knight. Here's a piece about him:

All my best to all of you this Sunday evening,
Jeff
