so there was a major raid involving a swat team in our neighborhood yesterday. four guys were taken in. and it happened next door.
we have mixed feelings.
yes, the neighborhood is most likely a lot safer b/c these guys went to jail. and now we will being see much less foot traffic along our street, but what about our neighbor? he had made some bad decisions and was caught up in a life of crime. but certain situations forced him to make the wrong decisions. and who knows if i had grown up in a different neighborhood with desperate situations if i wouldn't have made the same choices.
we liked our neighbor. sure he freaked me out at times, as you can read from various posts, but i really felt like we were building a relationship with him and his brother.
it's strange the people God brings into our path, maybe the reason he moved in next door was because jason and i would be his neighbors. and maybe that was the only chance we will get.

and maybe he was there for you.-debby
wow.. that's a sad thing, but i have a hunch your chances to love on him are just beginning.. whether that's a visit to jail to see him or just acceptance upon his return, i think we're just reading the beginning chapters of this story.
i hope, anyway.. no pressure, really. :-)
