It seems that some worthy evangelical Christians question the deepness of Cowboy Christians' spirituality.
In case you are uncertain as to the concept of Cowboy Christians, Cowboy Christians are the ones who ride their horses to church and never dismount.
This sounds perfectly sane to me. These are people who've found a way to make going to church each and every Sunday palatable.
There are a lot of people who might go to church more often if going to church was fun...if the going and kneeling amidst children with colds could somehow be transformed into an amusing way to spend a Sunday morning.
So I got to thinking. What would get me out of my house and onto my knees every Sunday for the rest of my life.
Breakfast. A lovely, sitdown breakfast. Eggs Benedict would be nice, with the occasional foray into Extreme French Toast (mega butter). 
I'd like the sermon to be performed by a variety of scintillating stand-up comics who see fit to address issues closest to my heart.
The closing prayers would include an actual, certifiable miracle. This would be a miracle involving large sums of free money.
And yes, I see being seated atop a horse could make the whole enterprise totally spiritually satisfying, indeed.
Girl, I'd be at that church every sunday with bells on...Eggs Benne is one of my all-time favorites...and I would love to see Roseanne or Margaret Cho doing a sermon :-) bring it on sister :-)
