Tomorrow, I have to go to court for the first of at least two custody battles. This one is only to decide which school my 3 girls will attend. My x and I live about 18 miles apart. Though this decision could be overturned at our final custody hearing in a month, it is still very important to my case.<P>Please send prayers to KANSAS!!!!<P>------------------<BR>Love, Bill<P>-There are none so blind as those who refuse to see!-<BR>-Stand up and do the right thing, even if your standing alone.-

"""You've been kinda quiet, everything okay apart from this?"""<P>Jacky,<P>This upcoming date has been eating at me pretty hard for the last couple of weeks. This along with some other problems with my x have me kind of coasting for a while. No extreme lows but no highs either. Just taking life one day at a time.<P>After all this passes I'll be back on the boards more often.<P>------------------<BR>Love, Bill<P>-There are none so blind as those who refuse to see!-<BR>-Stand up and do the right thing, even if your standing alone.-

Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has created the loving father and the wise judge. Please give Bill's judge Your wisdom, to see the parent who has the best interests of the girls at heart. Please give Bill the spirit to hear the wisdom from the judge and do what is best for his girls. And Lord God, I don't usually pray for someone to have patience, but give Bill Your divine patience and peace to deal with ANYTHING that comes out during this court proceeding. <P>I pray that You will send Your peace in this situation, and I pray that You will have the outcome be the best thing for the girls.<P>Amen, <P><BR>CJ <P>------------------<BR>Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

Bill, for your peace, for the judge's wisdom, for your stbx's peace I have prayed. Both of you need peace in your hearts so that you can deal with each other. I know how hard it is to be civil when there is no peace within. And I pray for your girls, too. That, no matter the outcome of today's hearing, they will know that both of their parents love them.

(((((((((((Y'all))))))))))))<P>I just got on the site and read all the responses to my request for prayers and then found another thread started for me and a tear came to my eye. Thank you for caring.<P>As some of you know I lost my court case this morning and for at least the first 3 weeks my children will be attending a new school. We have a custody trial in the beginning of September. <P>Obviously I'm extremely upset but the loving support I've received from y'all made it a little easier. Thank you all so very much for you prayers, hugs, thoughts, cards, posts, and e-mails. <P>I love you, guys and gals.<P>bill@salinaplaningmill.com<P><P>------------------<BR>Love, Bill<P>-There are none so blind as those who refuse to see!-<BR>-Stand up and do the right thing, even if your standing alone.-
