Donna, did you give all the truth? Was that farmer there during the entire time that the 3ABN hay was going the DS barn? And were his services all free? And even then the cutting, raking and baling of the 3ABN property's hay only takes one person, but the loading onto the truck and trailer, and the unloading into the hay loft takes a minimum of four people, a driver, a stacker, and two people picking up and throwing the bales up to the stacker.
Did the person who was "impressed by God" to tend to Danny's horses at 7:30am also tend to them when the vet, breeding people, and others were there during business hours?
How about the building of the barn? Was that done by volunteers?
You are saying that what you said is the truth. Sam said that only family members and people who were not associated with 3ABN took care of Danny's horses.
There has been a variety of stories and expainations given for the issue of horses. It has been said this is hobby only . Really not feasible. I believe it was Donna that said earlier that DS purchased his feed.
Now someone has been impressed by God. to mow,rake,bale,stack his hay for nothing.Besides that it has been said that the horses were taken to shelter at Jim Gilly's place, but then we have a barn being built. Interesting.
He only has a few horses,4 mares and a pony,yet he maintains his own stallion,which common sense would tell anyone that every couple of years you need a vew bloodline and are maintaining a hay burner for use a couple of times a year . Now that stallion is going or DS said would like to for a "donation" to a non-profit ministry. Having a few horses for pleasure allows DS to donate two horses that are relatively expensive to another minstry similar to the ministry that DS asks for donations for. Little convoluted. Donating to this ministry means that Lewis is in close proximity to 3ABN for this to take place easily. Otherwise he or DS needed to hire transport. Not cheap.
Then to maintain till sold and money goes to the non-profit. Not cheap,donation is beginning to erode. It also requires the party on the other end to have facilities and know how to care for this "donation".
On this mere pittance as compared to other evangelists DS is able to accomplish quite a bit. Not only that to be donating from a hobby a sizable amount. I don't think so.
If someone has to build a barn for their hobby,it stands to reason they also need fencing for pasture. This is another miracle?? The neighbor went good for that as well??? Or at least from what I have been told they had the acreage to pasture their "hobby" Very expensive for horses as barb wire is out. You have to buy the fencing,and intall. Maybe the farmer was impressed to do this and pay the extra help he needed to do that. What a great neighbor to not only intall fencing if he needed but to make sure DS hay was cut, raked,baled and stored 3 times every summer. DS rakes up a good many miracles and of course to question that is to question God.
Then you start dealing with the vet,farrier,hired help as was stated when family was not available. Which should have been frequently as Sam I believe, said DS was gone almost non-stop. Even the tack for a few horses is not cheap.
Also we should not forget the purchase price for DS to enjoy this little hobby. Lest we forget,property tax as well, insurance etc.
There are other things in this horse raising miracle . God gets the credit and many times the blame for men's actions and the natual consequence of their actions,good or bad.
