now i've done it

Tonight I made a huge mistake. I saw the guys I suspect of mugging people around here, sitting on the wall across the street, so I decided to try and get a picture. I went up to the second story of our house, peaked out the window, and snapped a shot…AND THE FLASH WENT OFF! All HELL broke loose! The guys jumped up, shouting and pulling their hoods over their faces, and scattering. Except two of them who decided to run across the street and start banging on my door. I, of course, did not answer. I’m sitting in my house right now, with the lights off, wondering if (a) I’m officially an enemy now, in danger of revenge, or (b) they think I’ve got a picture and will therefore be looking to steer clear of the area. I’m really hoping for (b) but have to tell you that because the stupid flash went off, I didn’t actually get the shot.

I’m slapping myself in the forehead right now wondering how I ever managed to learn how to tie my shoes. I don’t want to be a drama queen here (that’s Mel and Nat’s job), but would appreciate your prayers. Pray for protection (obviously) but also for peace. Common sense would also be nice.
