Have a Six Flags Day!


That is my new motto. That is also Six Flag's new motto.

I went to Six Flags today with my Ashes and we let Nathan tag along. lol. I will admit that it was refreshingly interesting for sure. I did not know what my day would hold, but I hadn't been in over a year, mainly because the atmosphere had dropped WAY down since I was a kid and it never got better.
Well I think someone mentioned it to them. Man it seemed like a different park, it was full of life, it was clean, the rides were ALL open, they had the characters out and about, you couldn't miss the workers in their blinding neon yellow polo shirts. They actually were trying to bring back some atmosphere. They were even going to have a parade before they closed, I didn't stay for it, but they were in preparation about an hour and a half before it and I am sure it would have been good. I wouldn't say they were any where close to Disney World good (which btw if you have never been, it IS all it's cracked up to be) but they were given it a try anyway. I was impressed--a bit.

Most surprising moment. We stumbled across a Heavy Metal Thrash band in some random area? and watched them for about 30 minutes. I am going to give a shout out to ---Brotherhood (from San Antonio)---the music was actually very good.(yes I like heavy metal, sue me) I will however make a disclaimer on what the lyrics were, because with all the screamo I had no idea what they were saying. But they can play, that I do know. :)

Also, Thank you Six Flags for adding Aquaman to your park!

when the sun shines through the clouds and the rays are distinct and separated, it reminds me of the glory of God

knowing that my Father, my God, My Redeemer lives. knowing that He grants me new mercies everyday and that I am forgiven. That is good news for me :) God is good

Ahhhhh. Yes He is. God is good.
