Deuteronomy 1:29-31 “Do not be terried; do not be afraid of them. The LORD your God, who is going before you, will ght for you, as he did for you in Egypt, - - - you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.New International Version It seems that life constantly gives us reason to be terried. When we feel that we have mastered one season of life, the season changes! Yet when we realize that it is God who carries us we can go past the fear into faith. God is a faithful father who carries us all the way. Take courage and face your internal and external adversaries with God, and go forward.

Reed was last seen with Felix Villegas, 71, whose body was found Sept. 10 in a ooded eld near the creek on FM 1226 about eight miles north of U.S. High- way 180. Law enforcement ocials were alerted Sept. 9 about an abandoned vehicle, later identied as be- longing to Villegas, near owing high water following heavy rains. An initial search determined that no one was in the vehicle. Searchers returned to the area the next morning and found Villegas's body. Law enforcement was notied Friday evening that Reed also was missing and last seen with Villegas. The search for Reed then began and resumed over the next several days. The search involved personnel from several local and state agencies, including some on horseback and others using a drone or cadaver dogs, Sheri Danny Jimenez said.

Reached by phone, Coleman County Sheri Les Cogdill said his oce Friday had received a warrant from the state of Coahuila, Mexico, for a male suspect wanted there in connection with the shooting death of his wife there. “I made contact with the Texas Rangers and the U.S. Marshal Service, (who) started working on it all weekend,” Cogdill said. On Tuesday, Cogdill surveilled a residence in the 700 block of Rip- ley Street to see if he could identify the fugitive. Once he did, a task force from Del Rio was sent to attempt an arrest. Marshals, deputies, members of the Cole- man Police Department and local DPS troopers were on the scene when they saw the suspect go outside of the house around 8 a.m. Wednesday. “We went to make contact with him, the suspect ran into the house and we started giving commands from him to come outside,” Cogdill said. The man briey stepped out of the doorway, then went back in- side. Two other people stepped outside and were giv- en commands to exit and did so. About 8:13 a.m., the fugitive came back outside. “When he came back out, he came out with a pistol to his head,” Cogdill said. “Ocers started giving com- mands for him to drop the weapon. It looked like he was saying a prayer because he made the (sign of the) cross across his chest and pulled the trigger.” Cogdill said the house is by itself on the street, so evacuation of neighboring homes was not required. Two more people were found in the fugitive’s house, unharmed. Mexican fugitive shoots self in Coleman Ronald W. Erdrich Abilene Reporter-News USA TODAY NETWORK – TEXAS
