Pat, Dear Sister, I will be praying that you will, in time, forgive these
people for the blatancy they showed to you. Release yourself from
bitterness, follow the legal procedures involved, and no, you probably will
not see the money unless you sue for it. Loving, it is so hard when folks
use us like that. The Scripture says that we should pray for those who
despitefully use us. They are messing with God's people when they mess with
you, and therefore, they are messing with God Himself. I shouldn't like to
think of the consequences if they don't repent, but that isn't your
responsibility. Forgive and live. It doesn't mean you have to praise them
for "stealing you blind", but it will free you from the imprisonment of the
bitterness that could set in. Loving, when you want to cry, cry out to
Jesus and He will answer you. Oh, I am so sorry these dreadful things have
happened to you. We will already begin to pray for a renter who is a
believer and will not mistreat you.
Along these lines, please pray for another blind landlady. Her name is
Kathy and she owns a duplex, half of which she rents out. It is directly
across from David's house and I pray that she will also find another
believer to rent the place. She and her roommate have the other half. Her
aunt oversees things for her sometimes. Pleae pray like prayers that Kathy
and Loving will find the right renters soon.
May God bless you today, Loving.
April

>
> These were eviction papers for our renters, Gary and Janet Aplan.
>
> We talked about them, and he red them to us, and we both signed them

> They were delivered to them that day by the Sharriff.

> the letter.
>
> Then, the florist delivered a beautiful plant to me from my loving Vernon.
>
> Then, we went and got some hamburger in Iroquois at the meat locker,

>
> We saw Gary and Janet's truck in town, and Vernon said they followed
> us to Lake Preston. We had no idea they were going to Lake Preston.
>
> You know, some times, you just run into people like that. They saw
> us, we know they did, but they did not speak or even look at us.
>
> Well, the day went on, and on Thursday Gary came over and said they
> were trying to find a place to live in Lake Preston, and that they
> had packed, and that they were moving out.
>
> Friday he called and said he would try to get us some money.
>
> Saturday he called and said they were moving to the low income
> housing in Lake Preston, and that the Catholic Priest here in town
> helpped them find a place.
>
> Sunday, Vernon thought that Gary was home by himself and he went over
> to ask him when they would be out, so he could clean the house, and
> no one answered the door after he knocked several times, so he went
> on in. There he saw Janet and she said something snotty to Vernon. He
> asked her where Gary was, and she didn't answer, so he just left.
>
> Later on that night, he saw that the kitchen lights were on, and this
> was around ten PM on Sunday night. He went over to the house, and
> went inside, and no one was there. He found the keys to the house,
> and he found the box of curtains that she was suppose to have hung
> up, and he found a bunch of notes with the curtains.
>
> He came back over here to ourhouse and read the several pages of
> stuff she had written.
>
> I will just say this, that they accused us of things we wouldn't
> think of doing, and one of them was spying on her, and Janet accused
> Vernon of following her to the little store one day in October.
> Vernon had gone over to the little store for Michael when he was
> here. He had no idea she was there, until he went in the store, and
> he saw her there. She also accused him of peaking in the garage
> window that goes into the house and watching her, and also she
> accused him of standing in the bathroom with her and watching her put
> on her contacts when she was naked. Oh, the stuff goes on and it is
> horrible. Of course, I know with out a doubt, that Vernon never did
> any of that stuff. She accused him of going into the house when they
> were gone. None of this is true at all. Oh, there were pages of
> stuff, and then on Monday afternoon, he found more notes with more
> accusations that were not true.
>
> The house is filthy and there is some damage done.
>
> Nothing was ever said about the money they owe us. They owe us now
> almost $2500.00 with this months rent and utilities up to yesterday.
>
> Oh, another thing that she said that is that even the police and the
> ministers, and priest here in town thought that it was horrible that
> we evicted them in the cold weather. And of course, did we really
> know it was going to be cold when that letter was written and
> delivered to them? We had no idea what the weather was going to be.
>
> We found out that no one ever said such a thing to them.
>
> Then, because the cheese place was closed on Tuesday, Vernon went to
> Lake Preston on Wednesday, and he saw them. Here again, she accused
> him of following them. He did no such thing, as he didn't even know
> they were going to Lake Preston.
>
> All these things that she said about Vernon really hurt me, because
> they are not true at all. One of the things that hurt me the most
> that she said, was that the reason why we survived the tornado was
> because we had "means" and that we were greedy. That really hurt me
> and I cried for a long time yesterday afternoon.
>
> Our lawyer called yesterday afternoon to see if they had moved out of
> the house, and we told him they had moved out. We also told him about
> some of the notes, and that we would show them to him. He couldn't
> believe the things she wrote.
>
> Vernon took all these notes over to our lawyer today, so when he gets
> a chance to read them, he will get in touch with us.
>
> I don't ever want to see or hear their voices ever again. I know that
> they need prayer, so I will pray for them, but I am very angry with them.
>
> Please pray for me, as some times I can't stop thinking about all the
> horrible stuff she wrote, and I just cry because it hurts me so much.
>
> I've been praying to God and asking for peace about this situation.
>
> We are not going to sue them for slander, unless our lawyer feels we
> should, but I don't think he will want us to do that, so we won't.
> God will punish them.
>
> We do want our money what is owed to us, though, but we'll probably
> never see it.
>
> Gary has had 3 jobs in less than a year, only since he lived in the
> rental house.

> We know for a fact he has been talking about us, because he is

>
> Oh, I feel so horrible and I know deep down in my heart, and God

>
> Please pray for Vernon and I. He has been so very sweet and loving,
