Dialing 911

Well, I got to call 911 again last night. Our neighbor the "Rev" went crazy last night. After we put the kids to bed we heard yelling outside. Desi went to check it out and our next door neighbor Bobby was in front of his house. From what he told us, he heard noises and looked outside to see across the street the Rev breaking through the window of his own apartment. He came out, got in his minivan, drove about 20 yards and crashed into a parked car on the other side of the street. He got out and was just freaking out...yelling all sorts of things that we couldn't understand. At this point, Desi was with Bobby and I was at the door. We heard a woman's voice coming from the Rev's apartment. She was at the window trying to get out. The guys asked if she needed help. She got out and came across the street. Apparently she was an old girlfriend who had not been over for a long time. She said his door was pad locked from the inside and the only way out was the window. She was pretty freaked out and the guys waited with her around the corner while I called the police. They arrived within a few minutes. From what she told the police, she and the Rev were hanging out, talking and everything was just fine, when all of the sudden he went to the window and started banging on it and just freaking out. I guess they both had done some weed and she said he was drinking. The police took him to the hospital (he had cut himself on the glass). Desi and Bobby filled out paperwork and by the time Desi got back in, it was 10pm!

Just pray for the "Rev" that God would heal him and show us how to pray for him and what sort of involvment we should have with him. I think he must be on some sort of medication or somthing. Some days he acts totally normal and nice and other days he acts so strange. He says he is a minister, but we don't know what he does, where he works or really anthing at all about him. Pepper (2 doors down from him) doesn't like him or trust him for anything. To tell you the truth, I am not his biggest fan either and I try to keep my distance.

For those of you who have been long time readers, you'll remember the post titled "What was he thinking?" about how he tried to put a stove and dryer in the trunk of his car!

Life here is rarely dull! Loving it!

calles,
he's called "the rev" because he introduces himself as minister or reverend and he supposedly has his own christian ministry.
he reminds me of you that way with his love of titles.
much love and respect reverend calles.

Desi,

That was so cute of you to direct me to your blog for the answer about the "Rev." Thanks for the explanation. Titles really explain what a person is all about. For example: church-planter. Also, Anglo-Saxon-honky-no-rythym-whitey.

Nope to the pope,

Rev. Aaron "Don Quixote" Calles, esq.
