Bless Rather Than Curse ~

Ramblings Of A Zealot ~

“Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.”
(Genesis 27:28-29)

Giving a blessing dates back to Genesis, when God blessed Adam, Noah, and Abraham. Later, Abraham blessed Isaac, Isaac blessed Jacob, and Jacob blessed his twelve sons and two of his grandsons. This gift carries across Scripture and time. And it still matters today, because deep within the heart of every person is a longing for parental approval …..

So what does a biblical blessing consist of you may be thinking?
Well, to break it all the way down, basically it is words and actions that express fondness for…

A Woman of Valor Study ~ (part 2)

Ramblings Of A Zealot ~

“Sarah”

Good morning ladies ….

As I spoke yesterday about my desire to study some of the Bible’s virtuous women, to continue in my study, our very first woman to look at is Sarah …..

She lived to be 127 years old (Genesis 23:1). She developed many of her characteristics during these years I’m sure, as she walked with God and developed trust in her Lord. That’s probably the first step in any relationship I’d say, and for some (like me), sometimes quite a difficult task …..

For most of us, trust may have to be developed and this comes by faith; and how is faith developed? As it is written: “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the Word about Christ.” (Romans 10:17). That’s it. The Word. Reading and meditating on God’s Word, learning about those who have gone before us, struggled, persevered…

A Woman of Valor ~ (Study -part 3)

Ramblings Of A Zealot ~

“Rebekah”

Good morning beautiful souls …..

Here we are again, and thank the Lord for that, and thank you for hanging in there with me …..

The wife of Isaac. A woman of godly character, but not without her human weaknesses. Let us see if we can sketch a portrait of Rebekah herself….

Most Bible students know the story of the birth of Isaac. God had promised it and it occurred miraculously when Abraham was about 100 and Sarah 90. After many years, Sarah died, Abraham became old, and Isaac needed a wife. Since Abraham did not want Isaac to marry into the heathen tribes round about them, he sent his servant back to his family in Haran to find his son a mate. The girl he found was named Rebekah, and this is basically where we pick up the story in (Genesis 24:15-67). This chapter gives us some information…

Ponderings for Today ~

Ramblings Of A Zealot ~

A group of women were in a Bible Study on the book of Malachi ….

As they were studying chapter three, they came across verse three, which says: “He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.” This verse puzzled the women and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God ….

One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study. That week, this woman called up a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn’t mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver ….

As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver…

what to expect next

Alienated Dad: Based on a True Story

I figure why not post more truth on here to keep it fresh for the judges and that way everything can be brought into court. So what I hope to have posted in the next few days will be….

The forged Swedish passport and a few of the emails from the Swedish police.

The 33 contempt charges  that I had against her, which I would have won except I didn’t have the assets that she had, which she lied about. So i guess the original financial affidavit should be in here too then! It says how broke she is but was out of the of the country for 2 months per her public bankruptcy filing. I haven’t been on vacation in years.

Will post the falsified restraining order and still trying to get audio of it posted, it is a dcr file and having issues. But it’s great, how she…

economics and math made simple

Alienated Dad: Based on a True Story

I figured why not put my life out there a little more and explain my current situation. Other than loving life, my wife and kids, we may not have everything we want but we have everything we need. Happiness, love, teamwork, pride, truth!

Lets look at this from my point of view! Plain and simple, no joking, I am broke and live paycheck to paycheck we have filed bankruptcy 3 time, have no assets, old broken down federal protected cars. We have 3 kids with one due in December. So my question is what is she going after? We have nothing and that’s how I plan to stay, everything we do we do for our kids. Let just say I make less than what I use to, but still a decent wage. Now lets take out medical insurance, flex spending, taxes, etc. Now add on 3 soon to be 4…

The Secret Life of the Alienated Child

Karen Woodall

Once upon a time there was a little girl who loved trees. She would spend hours in the fields behind her house lying in the grass and looking up at the leaves as they rippled above her. The dancing fingers of sunlight transfixed her gaze and she found peace in that place, under the trees where she felt safe.

Once upon a time there was a little boy who loved to feel the sand in his toes as he ran across the beach to visit his grandmother. He felt the wind in his hair and the sun on his back as he ran with his dog across the beach and up through the dunes to granny’s house.

Once upon a time there was a frightened little girl who thought the world was going to end each time her mother and her father fought and argued. That little girl could not…

He’s No Deadbeat

Thompson House

Since Father’s Day was just this past weekend, I thought I would post about something we all should be more aware of. Being a person in a relationship with someone who has a child that has been withheld and watching that battle is one of the most painful things you can imagine. Remember, it is not the child’s fault that you and your partner split up, so why would you make them suffer?

Parental alienation – is the process, and the result, of the psychological manipulation of a child into showing unwarranted fear, disrespect or hostility towards a parent or other family members.

This happens all the time. It happened while I was growing up, for sure. Although I was lucky to have my Dad, my Step Dad and my Grandfather be parts…
