Izzy Found Deceased

 I had leg cramps during the night, bad ones, enough that I wasn't very rested when it was time to get up. We had a funny walk this morning. One of my sisters was telling us a true story that just happened. I won't say which sister but her husband sold a horse and the buyer came with cash. As the banks were closed she decided to put it in their fireproof box they use for important papers and it locks but when she found the box it was open and the key was missing. She looked and looked but could not find the key. She went on amazon typed in the fireproof box and found she could order new keys for it. I think she said they sent 3 keys for around $10.00. The keys came, she was thrilled with they worked but now she had 2 extra keys. She was wondering where to put these extra keys, looked around her house thinking where would be a good place to hide them, thought she figured out the perfect place, went to put those 2 extra keys there and found 2 OTHER keys. When they bought the fireproof box, it came with 3 keys so she hid those extra keys and forgot about them.  Now she has 5 keys for the box. The moral of the story is when we get old and lose something just look for a good hiding place and more than likely your lost will be found! The rest of us all laughed. I quit the walk early as I wanted to stop at Sam's club to pick up a dessert for the Berean volunteers this morning. We had a very good morning together. After our prayer Marvin told us a story about a teacher he has known for years. She is Jewish and has been amazed at his life. So amazed, that she asked him to write a biography of his life and send it to her. She doesn't believe in Jesus. Marvin asked us to pray for her, she is now elderly and really does need to know the truth. Her name is Judy and I'm asking anyone reading this to stop now and just pray that Judy's eye's could be open to the truth. Our LORD hears the prayers of HIS people.                                                            There were 11 volunteers this morning at that office. Below are a few pictures. 

I got to the Hanna City post office to drop off the mail when Mike and Diane showed up there. I told them as soon as I dropped off the car I was taking my truck out to Middle Grove to keep searching for Izzy. Sarah and her girls were here. They had cleaned up our house then were getting the horses ready to go trail riding. Today Zion was the leader riding Missy, River rode Penny and Eden rode Jewel. 

She took the video below of the girls and their ponies.

I drove the truck all the way back to the big lake and started hiking along the steep edge just in case she had rolled down into the bushes at the edge of the lake or into a ravine. I just kept hiking and searching each clump of trees and each ravine. When I reached the ridge near the top the horses saw me so I parked the truck and walked to them hoping they would leave the truck alone.

Cookie and Lily were grazing together near the watering hole at the top.

The rest came at a trot from the trees to surround the truck.

Above is three year old Thalia followed by Madiera and behind her Rosalie. Below is Oliver.

I kept walking, through those woods behind the horses still checking ravines when I found Izzy's body. She was laying flat out next to a tree in a little clearing up near the top. The ground had not been disturbed around her which made me believe she had probably been struck by lightning. We had storm after storm come through with so much lightning. It was a relief to know she wasn't stuck somewhere suffering. I hiked back to the truck and it was completely surrounded.

Trying to drive out I had to keep honking the horn. They weren't in a hurry to let me leave. I sent texts to the family to let them know she was found. When I got home I contacted the registry to let them know I had found her and she was dead. They agreed to refund the $215.00 I spent to get her registered. The LORD gives and the LORD takes away, blessed by the name of the LORD. 

Now I have some website work to do.
