Fears can become quite burdensome and limit our lives. I learned that to approach ones fears and do what is needed opens many new doors. As a child I was afraid of heights, so I became a pilot and took up mountain climbing. I was afraid of dogs, so I became a dog trainer and wolf rehabilitationist. I was afraid of snakes so while in college I took on a part time job as a herpetologist. I was afraid of small tight confined spaces, so spelunking became another of my hobbies. I was timid and feared speaking to groups, so I took on jobs that required public speaking. The only way to eliminate needless fear is to face them head on and do them knowing that Allaah(swt) will give you the means to do what needs to be done no matter how much fear you have. Facing fears and not letting them close doors to you, opens up many new things in life. Fear only Allaah(swt) and don't worry about the small stuff.

Things in this life can can not harm you, even if they destroy your body. This material body is only temporary and before you know it, it will be used up.

Incredible post, Just incredible

Thank You brother Woodrow
 
What's undesirable about that llama's colouring? S/he looks PERFECT to me!

I love knitting. I always have a knitting project on the go ...
But there is nothing quite like handspun natural fibre! :statisfie

The owner did not like the color. I'm happy he thought it was undesirable, I got the Llama very cheap because of that.

Do you have to shear llamas?

You don't have too, but it is a waste of the fiber if you don't as they will shed it in warm weather.

Now I have to find a way to convince my dear Brother that Llamas are haram to eat. Maybe if I do a google search I can find enough stuff to present as evidence and convince him they are a variety of long neck pigs.
 
Last Thursday, the day after our blizzard somebody smashed through the gate of the horse pen and scattered all of the horses. I found the big horse pretty easily. but there was no sign of the minis. It appeared they had been stolen. I put up notices in our one store and filling station and notified the sheriff's dept. On Saturday we got reports of hunters having seen them But over the weekend the weather was too bad to search for them. Yesterday we rented a plane and after 4 hours flying we found them about 3 miles from home. I drove out to them with the jeep. reflections came to me, but the mares scattered. I put a lead rope on reflections and tied him to the jeep. I started driving back to the pen and the mares followed. all looked good. But when I got within 1/2 mile of the pen something spooked the mares and Reflections panicked Some how he got to the side of the jeep and got the lead rope tangled in the tire. I stopped. Poor reflections was pulled nearly under the jeep. I attached another lead to him and cut the tangled lead. He bolted and ren to the mares. they are again about 3 miles from the pen, but now I know where they are and am feeding them there until I can calm the mares down more. Then I will try again.

Stolen??? After reading how much extra work and troubles those little... horses have caused, I really wonder who would be so masochistic against himself that he wants to get some of them to his own...

;D

:sl:

We finaly got them back yesterday. Had to ren the plane for a few more hours, hire a bunch of people get the sheriff's dept involved again. But got the little critters back.

I don't even want to think of the amount it cost.

I have to keep reminding myself that once we start getting foals to sell from them they will be bringing in an income.
 
Oh my goodness, Woodrow.
It's like the Wild West in your neck of the woods! :D

We are not quite that modern yet. I think many here are still waiting for General Custer and the 7th Cavalry to attack us. Ironically Custer' last Headquarters post is not very far from where I live and it is now part of the Mandan reservation and the old buildings are now homes for Native Americans.
