Challenge Day 3

Roller Coaster Challenge Day 3 - A roller coaster you could ride over and over again

Kraken- SeaWorld Orlando
I celebrated New Year's Eve into New Year's day 2006 at Sea World. I wanted to ride this ride 2006 times, but I only got to 17, which is still my one-day record*.  The Kraken is a massive, mythological underwater creature that was caged by Poseidon (Greek god of the sea). This steel coaster is Bolliger and Mabillard’s finest floorless creation.  My feet dangled over the water as we took a subterranean dive through Kraken’s lair and slithered through loops, a zero-G roll, a Cobra roll, and a corkscrew, evading the monster’s tentacles.
*This record has been broken.

Psalm 18: 1-15

This Psalm makes me feel like I have just angered a monster. (Psalm 18:4 The ropes of death entangled me; floods of destruction swept over me.) Terrified by ungodliness, bound by snares, pursued by enemies, I am hopelessly lost.  I can only be rescued by One who is stronger. (Psalm 18:9 He opened the heavens and came down…)

Throughout our lives, we’ll encounter one element after another. No matter how slowly we chug up the hill, the drop makes us call His name. Hang on. In the end, we will delight in His great deliverance and lovingkindness. We will exalt His name over and over again.
