The legend of pony express.
The legend of pony express.
The pony express only exited for 19 months. Yet, from April 3, 1860 to November 18, 1861 it made a lasting legacy in the U.S. The riders would travel up to 75-100 miles per day. They would often ride with nothing more than a long sleeve shirt, knife, and a revolver to make their rides quicker and safer when riding through Indian territory. Often switching horses every 10 miles. When looking for riders the S.F add stated, “Wanted- young, skinny, wiry fellows fellows not over 18. Must be expert riders willing to risk death daily. Orphans preferred.”

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?
You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.
If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.
Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
