for the millions and millions from all around the world come faithfully and read this blog and cling to its every word i apologize for forgetting yesterdays blog... in leiu of what will hopefully be happening this weekend, todays note of praise goes out for my children...
although i don't get to see them as often as i would like to i am still very thankful for them... i am also very thankful that i have boys as well... no offence ladies, but female drama hurts my head... it astounds me how everytime i see the kids the become more and more like little men... seeing their personalities in certain situations just simply makes me laugh... for what little bits of time i get to see them they bring huge joy to me... it will be a beautiful day someday when i can have them for some guy time on my own and be the father that i want to be... that is not a shot or complaint for the current circumstance, but just anticipating the bigger things that are to come... to take what God has taught me and deposit that into my sons; that is what life is all about i am sure... i know there are going to be tough times, but to be able to invest in these little lives that God has blessed me with is a huge honor that i do not take lightly... praise you God for my little boys... what a gift...

'female drama'....how true that is!
That's too bad you don't see you boys more often. I wish I had boys. I have two girls. It's great having girls, but I do miss not having boys. Do your boys look like you ?
No offense, I dont know you but I have read some of your blogs and you talk about how much you love your boys but do not get to see them much. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO SEE THEM MORE? It is your responcibility as a dad to do everything you can to see your boys more often than you do. Take the initiative and make it a reality and a priority to be in their lives. You certainly speak of the time you have to be with all your good faithful friends. You speak very well of your faith and your walk with Christ, how are you teaching this to your boys if you do not see them? Your 40 days of praise already shows your lack of discipline and it will reflect on your children. Teach them the way to Christ, it is your responcibility to do so.
Maybe if Scottie knew he was a boy he wouldn't miss them as much.
And I can't believe I'm not on that list. By day 40 I better see "I am thankful for Emily."
That's right.lol
And whoever left the 3rd comment, (I'm saying this in the nicest way possible)-please don't judge the situation because most likely, you don't know the situation. No one really knows what's going on besides God. Things are probably more complicated then we think they are. Thank you, and have a wonderful day.
Hey Scottie, I hope you had a great day with your boys. They are precious. Don't worry about what other people think, God knows your heart, and all of your desires for your boys. He will answer your prayers. Don't give up.
As my position as a teacher, I have seen all too many situations where fathers are not allowed to see their children because of unforgiveness/ill-will/whatever on the part of the mother (and sometimes mothers who aren't allowed access to their children). To be fair, sometimes this separation is warranted to protect the well-being of the children, but many times this is not the case. Let's face it, we all make mistakes and none of us are perfect parents. There are probably moments in all of our parenting careers where people would think we qualified as "unfit" and were probably right. However, I have seen the impact that being denied a father/mother has had on children. Let's get real. It's not about us. It's about those precious little lives and the effects our decisions have on them. Children are not stupid, nor devoid of emotion. What isn't bubbling up to the surface now someday will. It is my prayer for this situation that the best interests of these two little boys is held to the forefront and any animosity is dealt with as it should be...between the grown-ups, or better still, in the hands of Someone Bigger.

I did not realize that you are having problems. I did not appeciate what anonymous said and also what big.bass.fish said. I don;t know who anonymous is and big.bass.fish. You are only 13. I think Scott can speak for himself.
thanks for the concern fran... don't worry about the big bass fishy... she is cool... one of the "faithful friends"... i am not sure about anonymous... don't really know who that is, but that is okay... thanks again...
I had nothing against anyone. I know Scottie can speak for himself. I was talking to anonymous, because their comment bothered me. Scottie was my youth leader- a great one. He's a good ro model and when someone puts him down like that I want to say something. If you didn't appreciate me sticking up for someone I admire, I'd like to apologize right now. Sorry Fran, I'll think twice now before I stick up for a friend. Look- Scottie just stuck up for me...do you not appreciate his comment also?
P.S: I love the fact that you didn't say anything about Not Neve's comment(Steph). Steph explained in even more detailed reasons why a father may not be able to see his son's. But once you checked both of our profiles(how else would you know my age?) and found out that she's a teacher and 31, she'll be harder to tear down. I know I'm 13, and that makes me easier to tear down, but I'm not a sped.
Hey 13 year old, did you notice perhaps that Stephanie left more of a diplomatic response? You're pretty sarcastic for a 13 year old but I'm sure you got that from your good role model. Nice that you would tear down somebody who doesn't seem to have anything against your little island boy. And just for the record, I am not the same anonymous who left a previous message. Just someone who agrees that nobody but the parties involved (13 year olds included) and God have any idea what's going on. Shouldn't you have your own blog set up if you write more than this blog's author?
I'm sorry. Genuinely sorry. I HONESTLY never knew that my comment would cause so many issues between me and other people, or I wouldn't have commented. I didn't mean to offend anyone, I just didn't want anonymous(#1) to get away with that. I'm really sorry. Call me stupid, I know I'm not perfect. Just wanted you to know I'm sorry.
soo..i was just on my friends blog and was linking to them and wondered apon this one. i read the blog and then noticed there were a lot of comments so i went onto the commnts and then was all like wow. there seems to be some tention here. I know Scottie, and i know he loves his boys a lot. And just because he doesnt get to see them much does not mean he is a bad parent. I know this may seem like i am just trying to make this more as a fight, but i am truly not. I am just voicing my opinion. And how about we stop bashing big.bass.fish. who cares if she is only 13 years old, that doesnt mean she doesnt know things? It just means she is younger. Younger ppl arent dumb. So i say we stop being mean about age, im sure if she was 28 and had a career and a family "fran" wouldnt be rude about it.
-sorry if this has only caused more of a fight, that was not my intentions
I'm sorry, I thought this was Scott's blog. I read this because I am interested in what Scott has to say. If I was interested in your blogs (which includes anonymous, bass-fish, just a person) I would read your blogs. Please let this end with Scott's comments.
Fran? I don't really know who you are, and I don't really know who Scott is either, but...
If you are only interested in reading Scott's blog, don't read the comments (duh). And the comment box is for people to say what they want. I'm not on any side here, but I see big bass fish was apologizing to you because her/his comment offended you. Shouldn't you accept that and move on instead of creating another grudge? And 13 year old didn't try to respond to anything, they just said "please don't judge the situation if you don't know the situation." I do understand you're side also Fran, don't worry.
here i am once again on this blog, cuz i was curious as to what kind of respond i would get from my last comment posted. I am relizing that this "fran" chick or roster..haha chick or roster..? -off topic. back to the point. I feel like i just started more of a fight. I have read the last two comments since i have left a comment and things seem to be getting more fired up.
what do you even mean if you were intested in our blogs? this is a comment box as "big bass fish" said. we leave comments for scottie not franny. I dont even really understand frans side. she just comes on and starts like making fun of "big bass fish" for no reason and only because she is 12 or 13. I dont even know. Maybe we should all end this now.
-ps.
i am very sorry scottie for having a fight on your comment box. i just had to say some things.
Well... I guess people can argue whereever they want to.
Anyways, back to Scott. How are the boys? You must be a proud father. It's nice to hear you want to spend time with them. Not all fathers are like that.
you guys are nuts... i am thankful for the concern though... i think most of the bickering was stemmed from caring people with a lot of misinterpretting of what each other was saying... anywho...
to answer fran's question, my boys were beautiful and fun... i love them, love them, love them...
who is fran??!?!?!...girl or boy?
...?
I am a girl. Someone else, are you a girl or a boy?
I am annonymous #1....I asked questions to Scottie, not attacked Scottie. I did not mean for so many people to get charged up by my comments, I meant for him to really look at his options AND decide if he is REALLY doing all he could do to see his children. You say all those wonderful about your kids yet you also talk about how little you see them. So, again, the questions were ARE YOU DOING ALL YOU CAN DO?
I am not someone else, they are my very good friend. (this is BigBass Fish). She is a girl.
And Fran- please understand that I'm truely sorry. :) love u!haha
im kind of glad this is turning into a joke
At least "someone else" and I are thinking of it was a joke,lol...
i am a girl also. :)
yeah, im a girl too. yes, i agree with scotties most of the bicering was because of caring for him. I am only writing on here because i did not want scotties to get hurt from the first anonymous person. but i also see wher anonymous #1 is coming from, but they could have said it in a nicer way. they should have said it more as a question and asking him if he was doing all he can to see his kids. sorry if anyones feelings were hurt in this- fran.
im out. have a good one scotties, everyone else also:)
female drama... see above comments... hahahaha... thanks for all the concern all... God is taking care of this situation as we speak... things are tough, but His peace is greater... praise the Lord for my "boys"...
Well, this all just proves that you don't truly know someone just by reading their blog...or their comments to someone else's blog...
In defense of bigbassfish, I'm going to play the role of a 31-year old teacher and give you all a time out for bullying. If you really knew this girl, you would not believe she was only 13 years old. She is a very mature and beautiful young women who is truly seeking the face of God. Maybe if you actually took the time to visit her blog you would realize that she frequently experiences feelings of inadequacy (physical, emotional and spiritual). So great job, guys. Way to build her up for coming to the defense of someone who actually took the time to get to know her and make her feel good about herself.
And to Anonymous #1...whatever. You did not mean to attack Scottie, you alledgely know nothing about the situation, but you still feel the need to pry. You suggested that Scottie should not spend time with his Christian friends (who might lift him up and pray him through one of the most difficult situations of his life), made a mockery of his walk with Christ and your interpreted unwillingness to share it with his sons and his "lack of discipline" because he didn't blog every day (which might fall into a category similar to that of spending time with friends, since it obviously would detract from the time he is presently not able to spend with his children). Whatever, Nancy Grace, whatever.
Wow I see I missed out on all the fun. Just to fan the flames a bit I learned a long time ago that people who leave anonymous comments or notes are cowards. I usually delete them on my site. Dr. Wilson told me once he throws anonymous letters into the garbage and never considers them. If you don't have the courage to put your name on something then you you should probably pipe it!!
This is the post that never ends. It just goes on and on my friend.
funny that you should say that kirk because i instantly thought that at first and then this whole thing just got so darn interesting...
female drama... lol...
i love my boys
