Rockin Roller Coaster

O.K. I have been seriously slacking on my blog posting but I am going to recommit to the blog world for 2011 and try to do a better job of blogging. So please forgive me blogging world for my blogging neglect. LOL!!

Recently I was on vacation and had the thrill of riding a very fast roller coaster called Rockin Roller Coaster in Disney world; Oh and by the way, did I mention that I really love roller coasters. This particular coaster starts out launching you from 0-60 in just under 4 seconds then proceeds to twist, dip, dive, and toss one upside down while being in complete darkness for about 3 minutes. The object being to scare an individual half to death worrying about where the coaster is going and whats it's going to do next being that you cannot see. It's really a lot of fun however, if you just learn to embrace the unknown and enjoy the ride.

We can learn a lot from the roller coaster, because roller coasters are a lot like life. Life does a really good job of twisting, jerking, dipping, diving, and taking us to the brink of crazy but we must always remember that there is one (Jesus) who holds us on the rail. Yes things may get crazy, and seem to spin out of control but to me the beauty of the Christmas story is that Jesus came to save my life that was spinning out of control without Him.

I want to encourage you during this season and throughout your life to hold onto Jesus even during the out of control, crazy moments of life. Christmas can be a busy time, or it can be a time to enjoy family, friends, and take up the spirit of giving to others less fortunate than yourself. However, many times our perspective on things depends upon our perspective of God, the bigger God is to you the smaller your problems become. The Bible declares that God is the Bright and Morning Star, and He is able to shine brighter than any darkness you will ever go through.

Wishing you and yours a very merry CHRISTmas,
Jake
