I usually do not
watch suspense or horror movies. This is
because it has given me nightmares in the past.
When our 6th grade teacher showed us “Watchers in the Woods”
I had nightmares for 2 months. The 6th
Sense was probably about 2 weeks when I was in my 20s but then I had to watch
it a couple more times and it was just amazing after that. When we put in “Signs” by M. Night Shyamalan I was hoping Seth would tame
it down for me. The opening had ominous
music and I commented, “I don’t like this music.” Seth said, “It’s literally just the credits
Mom.” In the first part of the movie, we
don’t get to see the monster. We are looking
down at the main characters looking up on top of the roof. I’m freaking out and say, “How did he get up
there? Is it the dog?” Seth in a spooky voice, “Noooo, the cameraman.”
Later in the movie, I said, “Ewwwww” when the
man took a spiked fork out of the dead dog.
Seth, “They literally took it out of a doll.” Later when the main character wakes up and
there is an electrical cord stringing out that he’s just going to have to
follow. I said, “Ok, where does the cord
lead to? I’ll bite.” This time it was Bobby, “Don’t electrocute
yourself.” Then we finally saw the alien
and the character freaks out and jumps back.
Seth is in the background, “That is so cheap! Are we supposed to be scared of that? What is that?
A paper mâché puppet? Man in a
suit?” Bobby pauses the movie to talk
about how it was made 20 years ago. Seth
comments that “Aliens was made in the ’80s and had better creatures – they
could have done better.” We rewatch that
scene, pause to get a good look at the monster and yes, when I look at it paused
it was a sad-looking monster. Seth’s end
comment about that scene, “I’m so invested, and then it’s just that!”
Then there is a grabbing scene and Bobby says,
“You’re awfully quiet over there Seth.”
“Well, that wasn’t a bad scene.”
Bobby is glad he doesn’t make movies.
Seth would rip it apart in a heartbeat.
And I didn’t dream about that movie at all. Yay. It
had a nice ending, a good resolution. Watching
movies with Seth gives such a different perspective. I am glad he can help me through the scary
ones.
Seth continues to help in the yard, and I am so
blessed because I can be in the middle of a project when my time runs out. I must go to work! Seth is dependable to finish up and I am glad.
Bobby made yummy Shepherd’s pie and we enjoyed
it for days. Bobby was sad that his
volunteer for hiking this week became ill.
He had to plan other events. But
it worked out and the youth had fun anyway.
Bobby continues attending parties and social events, which would be completely exhausting. Sometimes I feel like he is an ambassador or... I don’t know. Someone famous. I am glad not to be.
Bobby did some weeding this week and I am blessed
with his help.
Adriel and I have been enjoying some great
conversations and texts. She is
encouraging and sweet. She prompts me to
do things that are good. I am blessed.
May you also encourage each other towards love
and good deeds. May you find joy in the
tasks God has given you. May you delight
in God’s love and perfect timing. Love
and hugs,
Cristy
PS
I found this amusing. Bobby was the only
pastor (out of 4) at the service yesterday.
So, he served communion. That was
fun. I think he might be praying? Their eyes are closed and everyone looks so somber.
