Folks...a few friends have decided I need an adult beverage. So, I will go have one (or two!).
I will come back on later tonight and put the blow-by-blow on here, as I think it will help all of us know how these things go.
Plus, you all have been so involved in this for so long...you deserve to know how it went. You were there!!
But right now, I deserve a beer.

Almighty God I thank you for the blessing of a hedge of Angels.
NO evil passed it this day. AMEN !
Jacob wrestled with God and earned a new name : Israel
This Day, Mortarman you have a new name : "He who walks beside God" for you have walked steadfastly beside Him through travails and against evil without diverting from HIS path.
Claim this name as the blessing it is.
Amen.

Halleluia! I haven't posted much as ds has strep throat...and working like mad..but knew good things would happen for you...prayed and expected them. Just as you, in the end, even though my M failed, there is so much peace and calm knowing you did all you could do. Yes, Mortar,your soldiers were standing there...I was there too in spirit. and some others, yes,your angels, were in the mongst of all of us MB prayer warriors who care for you and your family so very much. will the wS get it? probably. but know that if a ws continues down that ws path, they won't get better...many times they get worse...i myself am going thru some tough times wtih him as he's doing some imho very damaging things to my ds..saying to him too...and i am retaining a new attorney and may seek a modification in custody in the next six months. i wouldn't be surprised if that happened wtih you too...as the ws don't get better unless they find their faith and pull their heads outta their butts and leave the fog forever. she should be thanking heaven she got any custody at all...and it's great about the no overnights...but my xh tried to circumvent it....if she's trying to angle around it...like having om stay until 2 am and leave before breakfast, you may have to enlist a pi for that...as that is serious grounds for contempt...and will certainly be part of my re-evaluation of custody case..just one of the thousands of issues i have wtih the x. you are a man of HONOR...integrity...hope...and wisdom. you are a MB hero and champion to so many here. andyes, one day your precious children will look to you with admiration in their eyes knowing their dad moved mountains for them...i am truly sorry you're joining the "d" club mortar...but someday someone who is truly worthy of you and your precious children will be brought into your life...and life is definitely much easier wtihout the undue stress a ws presents in it. God bless you my friend <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Wonderfull news MM.
Yesterday I had a picture in my mind very like what you describe..I pictured yourself in court with witnesses [everyone who posted actually showing up] standing ready to give testimony and a heavenly host behind you while your WW stood alone except for her mother and they were both lost.
I deleted it thinking..that's silly why bother posting your little daydream!
Now I wish I had posted it after all because I think that you are correct in believing that you weren't alone in that room..and I wouldn't be suprised if many people who posted to you yesterday had a similar experience.

MM:
Praise the LORD!!! We are doing a whirlwind vacation on your side of the states and I have not checked in since we started a couple weeks ago. I however had this overwhelming urge to check in tonight and I am so glad that I did. Your kids are so Blessed to have a dad who will stand up and fight for them and for his beliefs. We need so many more men like you in our kids lives. You have also showed them how much you love them and even though you have had some tough moments you have not dogged on their mom. Because even though she is not following the right path she is still their mom and you showing them that will go far with your kiddos.
We were at Gettysburg yesterday and as I was reading your posts, I was seeing what must have been happening to you in how all those men felt in Gettysburg.
You have shown us your incredible faith and yet your flesh side also. However your faith and your walk has far out done your flesh side. You have been an incredible testimony to many. You are truly a spiritual leader and have come so far in your walk. None of us are perfect in our walks, however GOD uses these walks in so many ways.
My prayers to you and your family.

MM -
Congratulations on the outcome. That was a great story to share...hearing that you actually felt (saw?) the presence of the angels.
I look forward to hearing more about your day in court.

Praise the Lord !
This brought tears to my eyes.
May he guide you to see the best path, and do things properly.

I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.
