Green Slimey Guys

Yesterday evening I spent a couple hours raking and shoveling more dirt around. I’m trying to reinvent the topology of the side yard to maximize water flow. The rains we’ve been getting have been torrential and I really don’t want the basement to ever flood again, so I’m taking matters into my hands. It’s a little slow, but I’m making headway. A tiller would help I think. The boys were out helping me tho, Zion is now not scared of worms, although Azariah still doesn’t want to hold one.

Joeboy, thanks for the comment about the gutters, I believe you are correct and I need to do some work on getting the water flow farther from the house. Hey, I just realized…you’re going to be here in June dude.. AHHHH!!! Sweet, someone else to rake dirt with me.

Anyhoo… While I was doing dishes yesterday, Zion and Azariah were fighting off/hiding from “green slimey guys”. I’m not sure where they came up with green slimey guys. It is perhaps from one of my computer games where one of the guys shoots a green bolt out and whatever he hits turns to slime. The graphics are so horrible on this game from like 1992 tho, I’m surprised he even noticed. Makes you consider what you watch/play in front of your kids ya know? Anyhow…so finally one of the “green slimey guys” got Zion. He was dead…

I asked, “are you dead?”
“yeah, one of the green slimey guys got me”
“oh, I said…that’s terrible”

A minute or so later of course he was up and walking around.

I said, “Hey, you’re not dead anymore”
“Yeah,” He said, “that’s because Jesus healed me.”

I think, even at his young age, he understands the concept of divine healing. Even from green slimey guys. It was pretty funny stuff tho.
