Jail- a blessing

Thanks to jail I can blog again. We have had a man after us who was trying to find info about us and since at church my blog had been passed around it had to go away for awhile. Jail can be a good thing if you break a law because you might decide to change your life because you do not like it there. OR you might like it and want to go back often because of the free ride. We have had struggles with a man that came to my husband who serves as a Bishop for help. The man became angry at my husband when he could not get money for drugs. For over 2 years we have been dealing with the man in and out of jail and wandering back into our lives. He had an idea to harass us at home by mail by phone. He always shows up back at church and this is after being caught red handed. Stealing, lying, aggravated assault, witness tampering, child endangerment, you name it the poor man has done it. However they don't stick on him since he terrorizes his witnesses into not testifying. But just because you scare away the witness does not mean you did not commit the crime.
I however have also sinned in my life. I am not so forgiving of the said man and do not embrace him into my life. That is a fault of my own. I need to give him a chance but all I can think of is keeping myself and family safe. Since he is now in prison yet again and we no longer attend his church Scott is hoping he has moved on to a new obsession. I for one got tired of feeling fearful and when I last saw the man I told him so. He was pacing outside my husbands office something inside me snapped and I walked up to him and told him we were not afraid anymore and if the police wanted us to testify we would. The last time we spoke with the prosecuting attorney they warned us that he holds grudges and would come after us. The said a protective order would only really help to convict him after he committed crimes against us to prove there was intent. So we shyed away and hoped he would really disappear. Then there he was yet again. The irony is he never even lived in our area. I feel he is a user trying to milk any system set up to help-- the government, the church, nice people. So we have left our church and now attend in another area so in case he gets out again and comes looking for us we will be gone.
