I live in what used to be nice apartments, nice neighborhood, nice city. Within the last two years there have been less than acceptable behavior rising from the pits of hell. In other words my neighbors are... unneighborly.

A little history about them. They moved in the building about six months ago and have been rude, loud, rowdy, unclassy and, inconsiderate of others.
There are about twenty people (all family) living in only three apartments within my building.

There have been numerous complaints to the staff of my apartments and finally out of frustration, I called the authorities on them late one night. Only then did they recieve the first and last notice warning if one more complaint is recieved then they would be in lease violation and would be evicted thusly obligating them to pay the remaining amount of their lease agreement.
This came about as a last result.
I never wanted to get them afraid. I only wanted the noise to stop.

My point:

Before the neighbors arrived there were seven other tenants living harmoniously together for at least two years. We were like a real community. We did all the sureal neighborly things. (Christmas/birthday gifts dinners and desserts, offering eachother rides if needed. etc.)

I'm making my usual desserts for all of the neighbors. I will not make any if I don't give all the neighbors dessert. I'm just scared. I just want ot start over with them. I want us all to get along. I'm can't stand tension. I don't have to make desserts for my neighbors but I don't have to be concerned either.
I'm afraid that giving them some cakes and pies will be percieved as negative intentions. Or even worse, will they set me up by saying that I poisened them? I wouldn't even care if they threw it away.

I need prayer. I need advice. Just lay it on me. I'm a big girl I can handle it.

MY DEAR SISTER,

WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?

Do the loving thing and let the chips fall where they may.
