Well, I failed miserably after I came out of that courtroom. I think it's all the various issues happening around here. I just got tired and stressed out and my mouth let out all kinds of nasty evil-wishes against creepy neighbor, cops, etc. Plus I totally went into whining mode and blaming and speaking the pathological truth rather than God's Biblical truth. Oh, my friends, you would not have wanted to be around me.
But the Bible tells us we will not be greatly shaken. And it tells us we go from glory to glory. So, hopefully, in all my horrible behavior and horrible speaking two days ago, I wasn't as bad as I used to be. And will not be so bad in the future. Hopefully, I am growing in Christ and allowing his mind to take me over more and more. I'd so hate to think that I still hadn't grown a bit and that the devil can always rely on me to behave in the same predictable old Carole ways. -C

Can you tell me what the court thing was for?(You don't have to), and what creepy neighbors? What in the world is going on out there.
Still praying for you.

I have a vexatious litigant neighbor who threatened 3 hispanic workers with his gun, threatened his neighbor opposite him with a gun, pulled a gun on my friend's church sister, made the life of my son's bus driver's sister miserable. But he annoyed me so much one day by calling the cops on me because my dog pooped on the neighbor's car that I walked over to him and in falling into temptation put glue on his car (Yeah, i know...my friends all wondered about me too. They were like...what?? What became over you?) Then he got me arrested and put out a court order on me. So the judge saw who it was and said this guy is dangerous but you really shouldn't have done it, Carole. He kocked it down to a violation instead of crime which would have been one year in prison or 3 years probation. But I still have to pay restitution and have the court order in effect. Me!! And the guy is the weirdo.
Then the cops pulled a dwb on my older son...and one of them took my son's $50. So son has to go to court although he is innocent. His car is tinted and its against the law around here to have "excessively tinted" windows. And there are all these money issues caused by tickets paid for son's speeding tickets and there is the dog getting loose ticket. Plus the car needs repair $800 and the gas pipe to the house broke $2100 plus the youngr son's health plus the porch broke down and the city says we have to fix it. Plus other problems with this house. So I was just feeling a great deal of grief and walking around feeling depressed and telling God I didn't want to live, blaming hubby for not managing older son, and saying how poor I was instead of trusting that God says I will not want. The devil has been known to use my ability to whine and I'm trying to watch my mouth. But I was horrible and bitchy and just negative and mean the past Thursday. Back on the path, though. ::smile::
My! Your husband stays with you through this? Is he involved?
How in the world did the dog poop on car?
I am soo sooo sorry that you are going through. I can't even pretend that I know what you are feeling. Hopefully, there is a silver lining out there for you...we must believe.

oops. I meant the neighbor's grass. Yep, hubby is very involved. We're married 24 years. Except that hubby has been a real pushover with the older son... so son is only now learning how to be more mature. Am better now, though. Mercifully. -C
Okay, thats good to know. Church was great today too. It was a father's day for most don't have a Father, but who has a Heavenly Father.
