Sunday Groaner
A cowboy’s view of Palm Sunday
There was once a cowboy who listened attentively to the story of the first Palm Sunday.  After hearing it, he had only one small response to make to the story.  In his own straight-forward way, the cowboy simply stated, Jesus must have had wonderful hands.  But his words only confused the others around him.  Out of curiousty they asked, What do you mean by that statment?  Well, the  cowboy replied, if Jesus could sit on a colt on which no-one had ever sat, an untried, unbroken animal; if he could soothe it and control it and guide it while people were shrieking hosannas in its ears, waving the branches of palm trees in front of its eyes, and throwing down clothes in front of its feet, Jesus must have had wonderful hands!
