Life’s a Theme Park…What’s Your Theme?

Well, we’re finally back from Florida.  This is the first time I covered a whole trip via my iPhone and Face Book.  Mostly I liked doing that and would likely do it again regardless of where we go.  We’re big theme park people.  Thrill rides we enjoy as a family.  I want to showcase a few here that we rode for kicks.  The first one I’ll cover is one of the scariest rides I’ve ever ridden.  335 drop…face down at highway speeds!  It’s called Falcon’s Fury.  Watch if you dare:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgrgAuXGOLY#t=37.  It’s a breath taking view followed by breath taking terror followed by ecstasy (for me).  Finishing you’re just glad to be alive! 

 

Returning home I began to reflect and dig through the few pictures from my camera that I didn’t yet share .  American alligators in Busch Gardens laze all day in the sun.  The animals nearby show no fear.  I guess they know these guys are lazy and well fed.  Home put out a different welcome mat then we’ve been used to for the last three weeks.  Here a beginning thaw has startedand I guess I’m glad we can at least see the welcome mat.  There’s a long thaw out ahead I’d say.  The winter sun is doing its best right nowbut the view outside our basement windows is pretty limited still.  Methinks the air conditioner won’t be needed for awhile. 

 

Life is kinda like a theme park…choose your them…for me I choose God’s which is ever so much better than my own.  My themes are fraught with worries, fears, doubts etc.  His theme is filled with hope, faith,,,enduring love unchanged by circumstance.  It makes no difference if you’re a lazy gator or a tiger salamander.  You’re unique in God’s eyes and loved by Him….choose your theme carefully.
