Where is she in the photo? Is that someone’s pet cheetah? Or have we come into the age of the lion lying with the lamb and all creation rejoicing over the sons of God? Lovely shot! Thank you.

What a great picture!

I will try again, I just wrote one but it did not go– ?? —— All of God’s creations have such beautiful art work in some form on them! I am always intriqued with good art. This cheetah is so gorgeous. In our kitchen-dinette-sitting area, we have hung a large picture of a Leopard hand made in India by a lady that created among other pictures, animals. This one has excellent faux leopard fabric, with body movements on the prey; the eyes are glassy and haunting. So when Rachel’s picture came in, I pulled over my huge old 1933 Unabridged Webster’s Dictionary, to recall the differences in the cheetah, and the leopard. I was rather relieved to find that the cheetah who is found in India, Persia ( Iran), as well as much of African, is often tamed and trained to hunt antelopes, and other game. It can get as large as a leopard. The leopard is very fast, ferocuous and has attacked humans.—- So that was a bit of relief to know about taming of the cheetahs! L.B.

# 2 for me to write today. Rachel & Cheetan: Today, I also got in the e-mail a picture of my 21 year old granddaughter’s fairly new pony. ( Her mother, our daughter, supported you on your trip, Morgan has had horses since she was five years old. She has learned to take care of them, train them, and everything that goes with them. She has won several nice awards,-(one $6,000 college credit–, cash, and a stack of ribbons through the years in First Class events. She also lost in death, one mother horse giving birth to a colt, then lost the colt also after a pull all stops out to try and save it . She is the youngest of four girls, and her father is very much a strict disciplinarian. ( in a family with four girls, each two years apart, the father should be a good disciplinarian!) Morgan has had to work so hard taking care of and learning about horses! I have cried a few times when we kept them at their home, and in the freezing dark at 5:00 a.m. , before the breakfast and the school bus coming, she had to take her turn going to the barn, feeding the horses, and raking the muck. She was so small you could barely see her past the house door. But God is good! She completed TX State U at the semester and will start to Chiropractor College in Dallas in the Spring. Morgan was only 21 Dec. 28, 2010.
Her last show horse was sold about three years ago to the “right” home. ( a young girl in Colorado) Her father & mother and all of us, thought that was the end of horses for her. How it happened I know not, but she bought herself a new one, recently, and took it in the trailer with her mother & drove it to Dallas YESTERDAY to be near her so she can train it, care for it, groom it to be a show horse. THAT IS THE PICTURE I GOT TODAY ON THE COMPUTER. Wish that I could but I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO POST IT.
BUT WHEN I SAW You and the cheetah, I decided maybe I was thankful Morgan, only has a horse, an animal that she knows a lot about. Blessings to all who read this and love art, animals, and young people! LaVaye & Ed, too

Is that a leopard? Has it changed its spots? Great shot!
