Yvonne, Carla, Linny and Jenny
(ps. this was taken away we went swimming!)
Then I drove through some of the prettiest areas of Florida that I'd never seen before to get home to take my oldest son Steve to see World War Z.....oh dear Lord....let's just say that is not my type of movie. First of all I can't stand Brad Pitts.... But the suspense of the movie....I should have had my "happy pills" with me LOL As soon as the movie finished I rushed out of the theater, it seemed like a bunch of zombies were after me. Then in in the parking lot, I was ultra vigilant looking around for Zombies. Then having to get out of my car at home was torture LOL!! We were laughing so hard.... So I guess it was a good movie if it affected me so much! BTW, all I dreamed about last night was ZOMBIES!!!! At one point Jon and I had the kids in the hospital and they were all safe but we had to leave to go get something.. EEK! LOL (BTW, it was a very clean movie, nothing sexually, unbelievably little language and no gruesome violence-- We look up movies on Plugged In before we let our kids see things and Plugged In actually counts how many times profanity is used. I think it was about 9 or 10 times but I didn't hear anything. I told Steve after the movie, maybe the Plugged In people were counting what the AUDIENCE said LOL We had one woman behind us screaming, she was too funny! I was terrified but kept quiet!)
In all my crazy zombie dreams, I did dream I saw my old boss from college. He was the librarian at the college we went to, a true "absent mind professor type" I adored him, he gave me away when Jon & I got married. In my dream he was walking around NOT a zombie. But I asked him "Bro Crammar, what is heaven like??" he has been passed away for years. He said "it's lovely, just lovely but I can't tell you everything" That was just interesting. He still was an absent minded professor:)
I was just thankful I had to get up with Selah some, it broke up the dreams!!! Or maybe that is why I remembered them more because I kept waking up????
On Friday night, I dreamed that Selah was walking outside....now that was a good dream!
So we have had a busy fun weekend.
Selah is doing good, we've kept her busy with her stander and going outside some. For some reason, the last few days, she has been stiffer, I'm curious to see how she does on Monday for PT. It seems her stiffness comes and goes, in a random way. She certainly isn't sick..... Hopefully it's just nothing!
Sam & Sarah are doing great. Sam seemed mad I wasn't there last night to rub his back! I usually hold him and give him a back massage with lotion before he goes to bed and Sam is a creature of habit. He did NOT appreciate me being gone with big brother!
Shad. of course, wanted to go see that movie with us. I am so glad we said NO! He would have moved into our beds on a permanent basis if he had gone!!!
It such a balance in life, we always want to honor God with what we let our kids do and what we do but we also want that balance where we don't get legalistic either. I was raised legalistically and it was not good. You might think watching Zombies wasn't very spiritual (I don't know about that....I think it made ME pray LOL) But in one way it was spiritual. I was making a memory with my son, something we will laugh about for years. It was probably a memory that I should have let his daddy make with him LOL but it was fun. We try and honor God in our movie and tv choices. Every Christian family may have a little different standard. but you should have a standard. We stay away from anything with nudity or sexual themes, strong languages and we also stay away from movies that have adult themes. We are not going to pay money to sit and laugh about things that God tells us to avoid. We don't watch any current comedy tv shows as they can't be funny without being nasty. I used to watch "The Office" when it first came out. Back then it was racy enough.....I watched one recent episode the other day and had to turn it off, it was perverted in what the characters were doing/saying. So perverted, I could not believe it was on a regular cable channel! In this day and age, it is easy to nod at sin and be accepting. I don't want to be like that!!! For our family, we tend to let the boys watch movies that have the good vs. evil themes, as long as the movie doesn't have much profanity, nor any sexual or adult themes. It is rare we find a movie that we let them watch unless it is a cartoon and even then there have been ones we have not gone to see! A recent movie that they wanted to go see, scored way too high off our scale and the boys accepted that. It's a shame that movies are made and extra junk thrown in.

Keep praying for Teresa....she is stable, her kidneys' have better levels but she has a long way to go! She is resting today, getting ready for the big surgery on Monday. Please cover this family and child with prayer!!!
Please keep praying for Selah. Taking care of her last night was precious, I'm always glad to make her comfy but it just reminds me how far away she is.....sometimes it takes my breath away when I've been gone a few hours, I'm still shocked. Being gone all day is unusual for me, but being back with her, it hurts. She shouldn't be like this! I think when I'm gone, I expect her to be back to normal when I see her again. THIS is not normal to me. Please pray that God will have mercy on Selah and heal her.
