A message to my former spouse

A special message to my former wife:

My former spouse left a comment on the Twas the Night before the funny people” blog below. She is pretty aggressive in her wording in trying to discredit me. Yes comedy is sometimes risqué, and I often put myself in situations where I go where other Christians don’t ordinarily go. Who do I use as a model for this? Jesus. Who did Jesus hang with? The Prostitutes, Cheats, and all the other unsavory characters. He stayed away from the religious community for the most part. So Im not going to apologize for who I hang with and where I go. Because these people are seeing Christ through me in a way that they might never see him. My lifestyle, while Godly and Biblically sound puts me in situations where I can connect with a lot of people. I don’t hide my faith at all…and people think Im real and that has an impact. Yes, some of the sketches that the artists came up with are risqué. We even had a joke about that because Tariq, always gravitates to the “Porn” aspect of humor. Nevertheless, its my show, and ultimately my responsibility to censor the content. Am I going to do censor, probably not. I do encourage the comics to try to keep their material clean and for the most part they do. (As a side note: Tonight’s show was totally PG and several of the performers commented how non-sexual the show was. They also read the discourse in the comments of the blog and they thought it was a joke, part of the gag until I told them it was my ex-wife that wrote it, then they were dumbstruck).

So lets get back to the motive of this comment from my former spouse. Do you notice how much hatred and bitterness is laced in the subtext? It’s a shame really, she has a new baby, you would think she would have better things to do with her time. How do I know that Anonymous=former wife? The genius that is future wife, Jenni, installed a tracking program that can track who, when, where, how long, each person views the blog, leaves a comment, downloads a picture. So former wife and new hubby both from their homes and their places of employment views my blog approximately 5-10 times a day, and views Jenni’s blog 5-10 times a day. (If you want the cyber-stats we can email them to you). I think that is borderline obsessive. Plust the only negative comments I ever get are all from either her or new hubby. I know that my children read this blog, but the times that the blog is accessed is when the children are at school. So scientifically its easy to determine that it is them accessing it. They even access the blog from their new places of employment. This is even more surprising because of the bold statement that New Hubby wrote in my blog in March that they were blocking my blog. Makes you wonder about their credibility now, doesn’t it?

We can also see that they downloaded several of Jenni’s pictures. Why would my former spouse be so interested in my future spouse…especially if she has a new baby to be concerned with? I have my suspicions. Hopefully if you’ve been reading this blog long enough you’ll see that I have gotten over my bitterness and Im continually forgiving my former spouse. Because forgiveness is a process that will take the rest of my life to achieve. I hope for the sake of my children that she can get over her bitterness of me. That is and has been my prayer.

I think, as Im on the cusp of marriage…she just doesn’t know how to handle herself, thus the obsession with tracking our blogs. She also can’t control me anymore and I think that is really getting her goat. She doesn’t want me…she just doesn’t want anyone else to have me either. Good thing I have God on my side. He is always faithful. I know that divorce is the result of two people and their conflicts. But I have an extreme peace about the entire way I handled the divorce, post-divorce, and my transition into the middle east and subsequent future marriage. Has the same peace been demonstrated on the other side? “You shall know them by their fruits.” I have a lot of people over here and throughout the world that will testify that I am producing fruit. God is using me despite my former spouse’s concern that I need people to convert me and my troupe. The desperation in trying to assassinate my character is really quite pitiful. Im sorry my children have to endure all the mud-slinging and parental alienation that is occurring in that house.

I might have been a little catty in the blog post…but I got riled up. Im human too, and I make mistakes. If I’ve offended you readers…I apologize.
