A Walk Through The Valley of The Shadow of Death
Tomorrow I will literally walk through the valley of the shadow of death AKA…Disneyland.
At best I can’t stand the thought of going to an amusement park. I think I would rather be at the dentist all day…at least I can sit down.
First is the cost of it. Getting my family of four through the gates sends a shiver down my spine when I think of all the other things I could do with that money. e.g. Feed the entire nation of Uganda for a year.
Secondly I have to go near Los Angeles. Which I don’t mind doing…between two and three AM. Other than that rush hour runs from 4 AM and goes until 1AM the next day.
Thirdly and worst of all; I’m going through step one and two so that I can literally WAIT IN LINE ALL DAY! I think hell will probably be just a long line…visit the DMV for an example.
That said. I love the challenge of the spiritual discipline that will be required of me to make it a good time for my kids. Which isn’t too hard in and of itself. It’s almost like fasting. All day I will be constantly reminded that I need God’s Spirit to fill me and guide me. It’s kind of like fasting from myself.
I will be required to die to myself all day. And that’s something I can get excited about.
Eight bucks for a Coke…not so much.
It’s not that bad!
We went to Disneyworld in February. Best family vacation ever! I think you’ll be surprised at how much fun you’ll have watching your kids.
BTW you should’ve let me know you were going I coulda gotcha some sweet inside deals and tips.
Not to be missed is dinner or breakfast with the characters and you gotta ride dumbo!
Can’t wait to hear about your trip! Be sure to fill us in with pics!

Our day at Disneyland was fantastic. God is really showing me how to be normal and to love the things that average people love. I dread waiting in line…I found it ironic that at the first line we waited in the attendant’s name was Jesus. God is funny.

BTW I thought all good God fearin’, Bible thumpin’ Baptists had boycotted the Magic Kingdom? Oh wait, that’s Jimmy!
