Judgement House

Saturday we along with a few members of our church went to view something called Judgement House at Unity Baptist Church in Ashland. If you've never been, you should go, for sure. We were joined by our very close friends. I don't need to name them because they're the only couple friends we have. But for those of you who don't know who our only friends are, they are J and K as well as their boys, A and L. L is exactly nine weeks younger than my big BK. They're pretty tight. Big BK was thrilled that he was going to get to see his friends A and L. (I only ever use initials on my blog to protect the identity of the innocent. I can't afford an invasion of privacy lawsuit.)

Anyway, we went to UBC to view Judgement House. Judgement house is a play, sort of an interactive show set into stations. We've seen it before. This year it was the story of a brother and sister, both Christians. The sister is older and is not happy about "being forced" to attend church. The brother is devout in his faith. They attend separate events, one church related one not. There is an accident, the brother is killed when he saves a fellow youth group member from being hit by a drunk driver, his sister's boyfriend. His sister is a passenger in the car as well. All three are killed. We watch scenes enacted from prior to the accident, during, after, during judgement, and their subsequent eternities. I skipped the bad eternity because there was no way  my boy was going into that dark room. His words, not mine. That was okay, I'm working really hard to avoid that place myself. We did get to see Heaven though. It was the same as last time we were there. A white room full of angels. Jesus was played by a short-haired man who performed wonderfully. He individually welcomed each of us to Heaven. I started crying when he got to the person beside of me. When he got to me I couldn't even look at him. It was fantastic.

I'll say it again. If you haven't seen it, call Unity Baptist Church in Ashland and make arrangements to see it. I think it's going on next weekend as well.

Sunday evening, we went to the lake. My sister and brother-in-law bought a pontoon. He hasn't realized yet that he doesn't have a job. My hubby is in a similar situation. I'm sure the reality of their unemployed status will eventually sink in. I don't know about b-i-l but hubby is reminded daily that he doesn't actually work anymore. Anyway, I digress.....again. We spent a couple of hours on the lake with our boys and theirs. I think the entire thing would have been more enjoyable if we'd left the kids with Mommaw but she was there too so there was no one to babysit. Big BK loved it.... right up until the sun started going down. He kept worrying about the boat sinking. I don't know why. He just kept saying he didn't want to go under the water. It was pitiful but very annoying.

The little baby's wore life vest/neck collars that kept them from being able to turn their heads. They didn't like that. They didn't like that at all.

On the way home, hubby asked big BK which he would rather have, a boat or a swimming pool. Big BK first said a swimming pool. He changed his mind though and said that he wanted a boat he could float in his swimming pool. I told him it didn't matter because neither he nor his daddy have a job. It was suggested at some point that mommy should get a second job to help finance the lifestyle to which they wish to become accustomed. I am not making that up, I'm just not divulging which of them said it.
