I am overwhelmed with mixed feelings. Leah, Alexis and Noah were playing in the pool with Brandon tonight. Brandon says that the girls were mad at him for throwing something at them and so he threw Leahs phone in the pool. I could hear Leah screaming at Brandon before I knew what happened. Leah was sobbing. Brandon has no idea the monetary value of the phone but he does know he wasnt supposed to throw it in the pool. Emily is frantic because I cooked the last package of rice for dinner. (The other three packages have been used in the past month for other phones getting wet having nothing to do with Brandon.) I got Brandon into his room and dressed in dry clothes. I was able to get to the store for rice 2 minutes before they locked the door. All the way to the store and all the way back I am feeling very disturbed about the entire incident. Why does someone take their phone pool side, especially with an Autistic brother about? Why dont they scream at each other when phones end up in the water? I thought about how little they would say if their Bibles got thrown in the pool. Mostly, and most importantly, I felt very convicted that I protect my own phone with more respect than my Bible and that I, myself, would have been just as mad if anyone, Brandon included, had thrown my phone in the pool. Eye opener for me. I need to inspect my priorities. I have to walk the walk before I can expect my kids to follow.
