Some of you have heard me complaining about our crazy, rude, rodeo-arena-building next door neighbor. Today, when I was out taking care of my horse, I heard him and his girlfriend screaming at each other. I caught some of the content thanks to the dymanics of the valley floor. He used the F-word an incredible number of times (I go to State and STILL thought it was a lot), and then from her I heard, "Stop throwing things at me!" I would have called the police if she hadn't left.

This guy really needs to be locked up somewhere. This incident is simply the latest and most serious in the long list of run-ins people have had with him. He abuses his animals, his girlfriend won't let him see her children, and he's cussed out and threatened friends and family. I've seen police cars at his place several times.

I know in the title I ask for prayers. I'm not exactly sure what to pray for, whether for him to move or be taken by the police so he doesn't endanger anyone else or what. All I know is that I don't feel safe on my own homestead anymore. Definitely pray that his girlfriend will have the sense not to come back.
