Wicked! Oh Yeah!

 
I must admit that getting older does seem to take its toll on me in some areas. Things that I was once able to do with ease, seem to challenge me a little more nowadays. And that includes riding roller coasters, especially one named "Wicked". I really had no intention of riding such an intense roller coaster, but when your twelve year old daughter asks you to go on it with her, what does a good dad say? Inside I'm thinking there's no way I can do this, especially a ride with such an formidable name. This ride is intimidating, intense and tough. Wouldn't she rather ride the bumper cars? I'm thinking to myself, "Lee, dig deep. Don't show you're nervous. Don't forget the Bible verses that say to be strong and courageous. I can do all things through Christ." We made our way to front of the line, got on board our ride, and dominated it! Well sort of :) I had my eyes closed for the first 30 seconds and left indents on the steel hand holders. But I did ride it. I conquered "Wicked" and at the same time showed my daughter how brave her dad is :) I'm so thankful she didn't asked to go on it again.
