| Roy Rogers and Daughter |
Roy felt that he had a
responsibility to his audience. He felt obligated to be a positive and godly
influence to the thousands of children who gathered to watch his movies every
weekend. Roy did not act a certain way simply because the script said so. No,
whatever Roy said and did came straight from his heart.
Many times, childhood heroes are
forgotten. They are outgrown and left in the past. We take their posters off
our bedroom walls, stick them in a cardboard box with all of the other paraphernalia,
and store it all in the attic to collect dust and never be spoken of again. Roy
Rogers, however, is not someone you can do that with. He stays with you for
life, and so do the things he taught you. That is because a true hero can never
be forgotten.
I am forever grateful for the
influence that Roy Rogers has had on my life. He provided me with good,
wholesome entertainment when I was a kid. And now that I am older, he is
someone who I can look to for guidance and pattern my life after to be the man
that God has always intended me to be. I only hope that one day I can be half
the husband and father that he was to Dale and their nine children.
