Roller Coaster Tycoon

Tonight, Matt compared christianity to a balloon ride, but I think that is a little innaccurate (not meaning to bag on your sermon Matt, it was a really good one). In my opinion, your relationship with Jesus is like a roller coaster more than anything, the higher you are on the coaster is like your religious "spice". Here is my reasoning for saying that. A strong religious event, like a convention would be in my case, would get the kart on the track going up the first hill, as being compared to rising up for Jesus. And everyone likes that feeling of being on top, knowing that you don't know whats coming, and your adrenaline is just going all over the place. Then, you start to fall (and everyone falls). For some people, that first drop is amazing, while to others, its a scary feeling they don't want to experience again, but yet the ride continues. And there are some loops occasionally where you get those few moments of excitement, but nothing too outrageous. Eventually though, you will end up back at the station, where you can start your religious track again, or get off the ride. That may seem a little harsh, but we all know it happens. I want to be like that safety bar though, and hold people into their seat as long as possible. What does this mean for you? You are the one building your ride. GOD just has the blueprints already. Make it however you choose. Mine however, is unfinished, and I like it like that!
