Cowboy Heritage Church

September 17, 2008

I got a call this afternoon about an assignment. Could I, they asked, shoot a revival at the Cowboy Heritage Church in Clyde? Sure, I said, send me the details.

You know you’re a freelancer in West Texas when you go to shoot a church service, and wind up up to your ankles in dirt and cow pies in the church’s rodeo arena before your night is over.

I just liked how the words “Yeah, yeah” were projected, just in case the song leader or the congregation didn’t know how to fill in the spaces between the verses.

The church I grew up in frowned on dancing in any form, much less dancing in church. It was pretty obvious this was not one of *our* cowboy churches
