Chuck, please don't call me Mr., just call me Rebel.
I don't know what to tell you about your neighbors.Almost 38yrs ago I moved
to my farm from Ybor City,Tampa Fl.{Spanish Harlem} because of the same
problems. I was like you, always trying to treat eveyone the way I wanted to
be treated, but It never happen. Everyone use to tell me If I did'nt like It to
move and thats what me and my wife did. I have never been happier on 40 acres
as we have all these years. You know, my wife still to this day, still exchanges Xmas
cards with our old neighbors in Ybor City. They were uneducated and poor,
without faith and lived from day to day. Maybe they had envy in thier hearts towards
us, I don't know. Just pray about It and the LORD will guide you, like he did us.
Life is what you make of It!
Rebel
