It's How God Knows You're Not A Bad Person

Live your life Cowboy tough as God intended,

and God will know you're a good person.

Be respectful of others, say "Sir" and "Ma'am", be clean and courteous, be faithful to God, 

be faithful to friends and family, remove your hat when sitting down at a dinner table, 

clean your boots off before entering your home after feeding your horses and critters,

never forget to check their water, make sure their feed is good and not moldy,  

start your day with a prayer and positive thoughts, end your day with a prayer and gratefulness, 

and though God will only give you trials he knows you can handle, he'll know you're not a bad person.

When you work cattle, it's smart to work them slowly since you sell them by the pound.
It's smart and respectful not to brand another man's cattle without their permission during brandings.
If you don't want to look like a Greenhorn or Gunsel, just don't touch another man's horse and tack.
If you know you want to bring your dog along to a gathering, it's very smart to ask first.
Of course, you should always take pride in your work, and take on any job no matter how humble. 
If you finish what you start and do it to the best of your ability, no one can call you a bad person.

Never give up and face challenges with steadfast determination no matter how difficult,
help people in need and be a good steward of the land and its animals,
and when dismounted to open a gate, let everyone through before closing the gate and remounting,
show respect and courtesy on a ride and you'll be considered smart; certainly not a bad person.

Stand by your word, show up on time, stick to your promises, care for those you love,
stand by your family through thick and thin, and do your duty, because that is what good people do.

Believe in the unwritten Cowboy rules of hospitality, fair play, and respect for others and the land.

Live your life each day with honesty, loyalty, and the integrity it takes to do what's right.

Be responsible, feed America, farm, ranch, harvest crops, get your goods to market,

and understand that it's okay to feel sorry for others who don't know what it takes to feed our Nation.

Live your life by the Golden Rule of treating others as you would like to be treated.
Do these things and live your life with values and morals as an example to others.

Spread the blessings of Christ, and God will love you for being who you are.

Since you know the difference between Right and Wrong, teach it to others. 

It's surely lacking today and God loves it when people teach such things since more people should.

Speak freely, frankly and bluntly, and don't be afraid to talk about current events, politics, and religion.

Do these things and talk about what's on your mind while knowing you're not a bad person if you do.

It's okay if you can't stand ruffians, thugs, hoodlums, hooligans, bullies, gangsters, and bad men.

It's okay to want desperadoes and other criminal types, both foreign and domestic, brought to justice.

It's okay to want the law to do its job so Americans don't have to enact what is vigilante justice.

Feeling that way doesn't make you a bad person, no matter what some folks will say. 

It's okay to be Patriotic and fight for our Republic by voting for candidates who put "Americans First."

Every "citizen" should want leaders who will put our nation's priorities before those of others.

Celebrate being an American, love America, our Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
Be loyal to our founding principles and hold steadfast to your opinions and Conservative beliefs.

Do that, and there's no doubt that you're not a bad person -- no matter what the Left tries to tell you.

Being self-sufficient is about surviving without the government being a part of your life.

Being self-reliant and self-sufficient is a great way of life and doesn't make you a bad person.  

Owning and knowing how to use a gun safely and properly and proficiently are about survival.

Being armed and ready to protect your life, and those you love, does not make you a bad person.

It's the same as knowing what it is to work for a living, do your laundry, and plant a garden.
It's the same as knowing how to fix a flat tire, how to change your vehicle's oil, how a house is built,
how to build a campfire, chop wood, fish, hunt, cook, and carry your own water.
Defending yourself and not having to depend on the Police to protect your loved ones is smart.

It makes you a very good person, a loving father, husband, and friend. Even God would agree.

Survival means seeing your enemies for who they are, whether they are politicians or the media, 

or whether they are thieves, thugs, hoodlums, hooligans, bullies, gangsters, bad men, or desperados. 

There is nothing wrong if you see your enemies for who they are; you're not a bad person if you do.

The same goes if you recognize when you're being sold a bill of goods and see punks for who they are. 

And no, don't let anyone tell you that you should have tolerance and understanding for criminal types. 

You don't have to turn the other cheek or forgive your trespassers as they trespass against you.

You're not a bad person if you don't have the degree that people on the Left think you need. 

You're not a bad person if you shop at thrift stores, have a humble home, or don't have a fancy car. 

It's okay to wear old clothes, wear work boots, and not have the luxuries others may have,

the same way you're not a bad person because you don't go to Starbucks for a cup of expensive coffee. 

You're not a bad person because if you don't care that others pay too much to be fashionable, 

or if they get themselves in debt over buying clothes with fancy labels, or cars with foreign names, 

or if they pay way too much for a cup of coffee at Starbucks, which most folks think is stupid. 

It's okay to believe in God and live a simple life, a life that is perfect for you but maybe not for others.

You're not a bad person if you're content with your life and living the way you do. 

You're not a person if you like farms, ranches, dairies, livestock, and all things rural America.

It's okay if you don't like big cities and anything that comes with urban America.

It's okay to be impressed by how hard people work, just as it's okay not to be impressed by lazy folks;

It's okay to have empathy for others, to be there for others, to be there for those you love. 

It's okay if you don't believe what the media is telling you or if you don't trust weather forecasters. 

It's okay that you've realized you don't have to accept what people do or tell you;

It's okay to teach others that you're not a bad person if you indeed love God and our Country;

And no, you're not a bad person if you don't like some folks -- especially those who look down on you.

If you know in your core why your honor and your saddle are never for sale, that's a good thing.
If you understand why we shouldn't be sheep, fleeced, or led to slaughter, that's a good thing. 

If we never need to question why it's so important not to be part of the herd, that's a good thing.

When you cut your own path, you will realize you are not a bad person for doing so, and that's good too.

Keep in mind that courage and commitment build strength and good character.
Also, remember that God hates a coward, and that's why he loves Cowboys.
And since God knows you're a Cowboy, he knows you're not a bad person.
