Please pray for my safety. (update April 13th)

We had a very protective Sheltie (also known as a Shetland Sheepdog) when I was growing up. Our neighbor, who we were on good terms with and had visited us a number of times, came over one time but didn't wait for anyone in the family to let him in. She jumped up and bit him on the arm, yeah uninvited people were not welcome in her opinion. She was extremely well behaved, she just didn't like him entering uninvited.

Another time my sister and I had taken her for a walk. We passed in front of this one house and a black lab (much bigger than a sheltie) came running from the back yard toward us growling and barking. Before we realized what happened she had somehow gotten free of the choker collar that was her normal collar, the leash now slack in our hands, and had was facing down the lab several feet in front of us. Several tense second of the two dogs barking and growling at one another and the lab let out a wimper tucked in its tail and scurried off. That wasn't the first time she had done something similar, she did that once when my parents were walking her and got confronted by an angry dog.

I miss that dog, she was the best pet one could hope for.

Update:

A note was put in my neighbors mailbox. It is the one right immediately next to mine (the two together with no others) that was a written death thread. It was not addressed to anyone particular. It basically said just this (cuss word used to replace the cuss word in the note) "Cuss word you, I am going to kill you cuss word."

My neighbor has no known enemies ... never has had one. She is the sweetest devout Catholic you would ever meet. She is divorced and has not dated in over 19 years. I don't believe it was meant for her.

It appears that because the mail boxes look identical and the numbers on the boxes are worn that someone meant the threat towards me.

It rained. The police said there was no way to get prints. They told me there was nothing they could do.

It wasn't in an envelope. The police put it into a baggie and kept it.

I didn't post that my car broke down too. One of the radiator hoses sprung a leak. I am trying to not be paranoid about it. At night my car is locked in my garage. But it is outside at the office. It is an older car. I could have just worn a leak, right?

I am dyslexic and when stressed I tend to misplace things and lose them. I lost my key chain with all my keys. My office key was not on it but my house key was. I am really broke right now with the car repair costs, etc. I can't afford to have the locked changed. I would have to change them all to give the landlord a copy as that is the requirement. Ugh.

I am going to go to a healing service at the monestary as soon as possible. This feels like a spiritual battle to me.

First I want to thank everyone for the prayers!

Thekla, the good news is that my sleep problems are much improved. I sometimes have trouble falling asleep and I do wake earlier then I want but I am consistantly getting a minimum of six hours sleep every night... and that is at night... not like before when I would go to bed a 5 or 6 am and sleep until 11 am or so... Now I usually go to bed around 2 and sleep until 8. I see this as the fruit of the prayers of others! Especially as I have no reason to feel safer then before. Thanks for the prayers.
