Spiritual Warfare

A lot has changed for us since my last posting. The Wife found a job and we moved to a smaller downstairs unit in order to save some money on rent. Unfortunately our new upstairs neighbors are something short of unbearable. It's not uncommon for them to play basketball inside their unit filling our living room with rhythmic a "thump, thump, thump. thump". Lately they've taken to throwing trash out of their balcony which lands in our patio... from the mundane items like discarded children's toys to the outright foul like used tissues.

We tried a few solutions to get them to stop this behavior:

1. We asked them to stop... "fuck you" was their response.

2. We called the cops... They don't throw parties until 3am anymore.

3. Collected and left their trash on their front door... They think it's some sort of game and threw it back.

Recently though, I discovered the answer. Jesus. Well, Christian praise music anyways. When it begins playing (our music is on a big random loop, we never know what we're gonna hear, it could be Jewel crooning "jingle bells" in the middle of summer) they close their doors and windows and retreat inside.

Jesus, not only does he save souls but sanity as well.
