A couple of guys apparently purchased an entire animated animal setup from Showiz Pizza and then reprogrammed it to an Usher song.
The result...
EPIC!!

Anger
What fuels anger?
Why is it that all too often our first reaction is to have a sharp word at someone?
Why do we rage...on the road...in the air...at insignificant crap?
We are selfish, more specifically I am selfish. It is easy to get caught in the trap that you are the star of the show, and that everyone else is supporting cast. It is this belief that our stuff is most significant, that drives anger when others do not think so. When people step out of the boundaries we create for them, then we get mad. In the end it is about control, and honestly our sense of what we control is wrong.
The truth is that everyone is the star in their own production, and therefore none of us are stars. We need each other, we need community, and we have to forgive instead of snipe. We have to accept, instead of nitpick.
You are forgiven, and I am forgiven. Why then do we find it hard to forgive?
You are accepted and I am accepted. Then we need to accept.
The battles we fight are battles of the spirit and of the will. We cannot fight these battles on our own. When we do, we fail, and our adversary advances his position in our lives. God's power over us is more than enough to fight. When we toss it aside it is useless to us, and we get ravaged, and bloodied.
With that power we are capable of extraordinary patience and forgiveness. Without it, we can be jerks.
If you want to hear the kind of forgiveness humans can be capable of, with a nice history lesson thrown in go here: Forgivness
If anything I have said here makes sense or connects, that is great. Honestly though, It is 12:10 at night, I am not sleepy (even though I'm tired), and this is all talking to the mirror.
Back to the silliness later on in the week. :)

Father's Day @ Six Flags
It may seem counterintuitive to some, but I wanted to spend Father's Day at a place for kids. That is why, after church we went to Six Flags.
Six Flags is great, but once they get you past the gate, let the serious price gouging begin. I won't go into it (because we did have a lot of fun) but ask me about it the next time you talk to me.
There were many fun things that we did, but the highlight was Hannah riding the Mindbender with me. The Mindbender is a roller coaster with two loops and a twist. Hannah rode the whole way with her hands in the air. The best part is that it was her first looping roller coaster. The special part is that the Mindbender was also MY first looping roller coaster. The first time I rode it was with my dad. We also took Emily on her first roller coaster (size appropriate of course) and she loved it as well.
All in all, we walked a lot, got VERY wet (especially Mary) on a couple of rides, had relatively short lines,rode on Thomas the tank engine and I got to relive memories from my childhood and teen years with my kids.
And really what more could you want on Father's Day.
A-bde-bde-bde That's All Folks!!!
