A Texas rancher driving through Vermont had to stop to let a farmer's cow cross the road. As the farmer passed in front of the Cadillac convertible, the rancher called out to him, "How much land you got, partner?" "Well," the farmer said, "my land runs all the way down there to them alders along the brook. On the meadow side, over there, it goes clean up to those larches on the hill." "You know," said the rancher, "I got a spread in Texas and I can get in my pickup and drive all day without reaching any of my boundary lines." "That so?" said the farmer. "I had a truck like that once."
I have watch and listened to people of all ages and those types of actions and words are designed do just one thing; impress other people. Most of the time the individuals trying to impress others don t know them and will, most likely, never see them again. I see them in the Bible verse   standing on a corner receiving the fleeting reward of self gratification. Someday, perhaps, people will understand that it matters very little what you look like or what you do. What defines a person is what's inside. If we could only look at the heart of people, like God does, then it would be easy to see a person for the person he/she truely is. Yet, I can tell you I have stood on my own corner at times in my life, but now I am looking for a much better, more long lasting, and deeper meaning reward. What I look like on the outside just keeps getting less attractive with each year, and I can t run as fast, or catch as well; in short I am just not as impressive as I once was: At least in the eyes of man, and that is just fine. I want to be beautiful, strong, and possess a heart of kindness and faith: if not in other s eyes, at most in the eyes of God. Just remember; a mule dressed in a tuxedo is still a mule.
