I have spent the last few weeks being still and waiting on the Lord. Most of you know me well enough to realize this is a real challenge … I’m always on the move and the go … have been my entire life.
The message yesterday from church was about what the meaning of the word quarantine is … a period, originally 40 days, of detention or isolation imposed upon ships, persons, animals, or plants on arrival at a port or place. It also reminds us of the 40 year journey into the unknown for those following God’s instruction.
Ok … that doesn’t work for a magazine full of deadlines and an office that cannot be entered except on Tuesdays or Thursdays by one – not five.
Top that off with May marks the 28th anniversary of the Rodeo News and we will not be printing this May issue of Rodeo News – it makes me sad … but I hope and pray that the future will make that option available in one shape or form – what has Rodeo News meant to you?
My bio includes more than 40 years in the print industry, with a passion for human interest stories and taking photographs, so publishing the Rodeo News is a perfect fit.
This is straight from the website: “Everything I’ve done in my life has led me to this – the perfect job. I give all the credit to the Lord for allowing the Rodeo News to thrive and provide a great resource for Rodeo News. My background in cooking has helped keep my staff as well as clients happy. I drive more than 30,000 miles a year looking for the next great picture.
Here I am, working from home and diligently working on the next book – the history of the American Hat Company – and cleaning out an office that hasn’t seen the light of day in 15 years.
In the meantime – lets share our favorite rodeo recipes … Go!!! And let me know what you’d like to see the Rodeo News being after this is all over. We have more than half a million on FaceBook and 28,000 unique visits per week on the website … rodeonews.com … and if you belong to an association, all your meet the members are archived on our website = please look and share them …
And last – we also have posters of all the covers for the past 5 years … if you’re interested in your’s let me know – it would cost $150 plus shipping ($50) to get them to you .
