The post These 53 incredible family sculptures will make your inner art lover swoon appeared first on FamilyToday.

1. He always notices when you've had a bad day

A man who is oblivious to changes in his wife's mood will also be oblivious to the differences between humans and zombies. Oblivious men are pretty much the first to go during a zombie apocalypse.

If your husband always notices when you're upset or tired, he would definitely notice if people in your town were turning into zombies!

2. When he's had a stressful day, he doesn't lose control

Every zombie emergency has at least one guy who can't handle the stress. He starts ranting and yelling in his frustration. Everyone in his group tries to calm him, but he just gets louder and more belligerent. This attracts a whole horde of zombies.

Your husband is not that guy! When he's under stress, he finds healthy ways to cope, like going to the gym or relaxing with friends.

3. He fixes the kitchen sink and replaces the spark plugs in your car

A guy doesn't need to be a genius handyman to get through an epic zombie outbreak, but he does need to know his way around a tool box. He needs to board up the doors at night and change a flat tire on the run.

Your husband can put together a swing set that's missing the instructions at 2 a.m. on Christmas morning, so obviously he could build hundreds of DIY zombie barriers in a jiffy.

4. He loves how strong you are

The family with the wife who's screaming and hiding in the RV while the husband fights the zombies alone is doomed. The family that survives is the one where the husband and wife are fighting together.

Your husband admires your strength and loves having you stand by his side when times get tough. The two of you would be a lean, mean, zombie-fighting team!

5. He's optimistic during setbacks

It's easy to be positive during the beginning of an apocalypse, but disappointments start piling up fast. People go to the nearest hospital for help, and all they get are zombies with stethoscopes. The next stop is the National Guard, but it's overrun with zombies in camouflage.

Some men would give up, but your husband would never stop believing that your family will find a safe place to rebuild.

6. He's a good judge of character

After a few weeks on the road, smaller groups of survivors always run into a larger group that seems to be doing surprising well. The leader is usually called 'Governor' or 'President' and appears charming to most, but he is actually a maniacal twisted control freak.

Your husband would see right through that evil leader and avoid the chaos left in their wake. You know it's true because your guy already avoids scammers and get-rich-quick schemes that would disrupt your family's stability.

7. He's generous

The successful survivor in a zombie apocalypse looks out for his family first but is also generous to other survivors he meets along the way. The kindhearted man always gives half of his very last candy bar to a hungry stranger. Later on, that very same stranger usually saves the generous man and his family from a zombie attack just in the nick of time.

Your husband is a generous person, and that generosity always comes back to him in good ways.

If your husband has these characteristics, you're totally going to survive the next zombie apocalypse. He's pretty awesome at tackling smaller everyday problems, too!

1. "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves" (James 1:22)

Time reported on a recent study that questioned habitual texters. Almost 100 percent of them said that texting while driving is dangerous, yet a whopping 75 percent admitted doing it. Apparently many of us are "hearers," but not "doers," of safe driving practices. If we believe that texting while driving is dangerous, we should be "doers of the word" and put our cell phones away.

2. "Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth" (Eccl. 12:1)

Young drivers should learn immediately to never text and drive. Texting while driving has been reported as the leading cause of death for teen drivers, causing more deaths than drunk driving.

Adults are not exempt; they shouldn't believe it is safe to text and drive simply because they are better drivers than teenagers. One study showed that experienced adult drivers were actually worse at, and more dangerous while, texting and driving.

3. "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it" (Prov. 22:6)

Those who don't want their children or teens to text and drive need to set a good example for them. Studies have shown that more adults are guilty of texting while driving than teens. Other reports show that parents frequently set a bad example by driving while talking on the phone or texting, according to their teen children - almost half have seen a parent do one of these distracted driving habits.

4. "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall" (Prov. 16:18)

Some people pridefully think that it's dangerous for others to text and drive, but believe they can do it safely because they're such great multitaskers. Over 25 percent of people have reported they can easily multitask while driving; but research shows that those who think they're the best at multitasking are often the worst.

Utahn Reggie Shaw was distracted by texting when he killed two men. He regrets it every day, and has participated in a documentary that warns others of the dangers of distracted driving.

"It's not worth it," Shaw said. "It's not worth the pain and harm that you'll cause yourself or someone else."

5. "And the Lord said unto Cain: Where is Abel, thy brother? And he said: I know not. Am I my brother's keeper?" (Gen. 4:9)

Yes, we are our brother's keeper when it comes to texting while driving; or at least the law is heading that way. Recent court rulings suggest that people could get sued for texting someone they know is driving if an accident occurs.

Don't text someone if you know they're on the road and you think it's likely they'll read it while driving. Even if you don't get sued, it's the right thing to do.

6. "And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell" (Matt. 5:30)

Those who simply can't resist texting when they're behind the wheel should turn off their phone and put it in their glove box — or in the trunk if necessary. It's better to miss a text than to end up in an accident, and perhaps even behind bars. Drivers who cause fatal wrecks because of texting are increasingly being sentenced to time in prison.

Aaron Deveau was convicted of motor vehicle homicide by texting; his sentence was one year in prison, and his driver's license was also suspended for 15 years. Jorene Nicolas was sentenced to six years in prison; she had sent 13 text messages in the minutes leading up to a fatal accident.

If your phone is tempting you to text and drive, cast it off! It's better than going to prison.

7. "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten" (Rev. 3:19)

If we know someone who texts and drives, we should love them enough to "rebuke" them.

A recent survey indicated that young drivers were three times more likely to read texts or post to social media while driving alone rather than while with a friend or parent. So it is important to make those we love aware of the dangers of texting while driving.
