Follow Your Dreams in the New Year!
Each year I set goals based upon the scripture found in Luke 2:52: "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and Man." Intellectual, physical, spiritual and social goals are all covered in this scripture. It took me two years of setting completion of "PINTO!" as my intellectual goal to actually get it done. But I kept working at it until it was finally complete. All our goals seem to be like that. They take longer than we expect! The Overland Westerners completed their journey right on time...but they didn't ever complete their goal to become rich and famous. Now, over one hundred years later, I'm trying to help them with the famous part!
Book Excerpt
PINTO! Based Upon the True Story of the Longest Horseback Ride in History
“We are going to complete the longest, overland horseback ride in history,” George added. “We’ll see things no one else has ever seen, and do things no one else has ever done.”
“We’re going to be famous,” Jay said as he tucked oats into a canvas bag. “There’ll be books written about us. Maybe even a movie.”
I learned that movies were a new thing, described as “moving pictures,” that people watched in darkened rooms in big buildings. George talked a lot about one of them called “The Great Train Robbery.” He wanted our movie to be like that.
Their enthusiasm was contagious and all the horses, especially me, were eager to get started. Perhaps George was going to help me fulfill my dream to do something great and become famous after all.
