Kings Dominion

Finally...after living in Fredericksburg for five years we have taken the plunge. Our family of five now have season apsses to Paramount's Kings Dominion and, towards the end of a very busy day, I took my boys for a couple of hours of fun in the sun...and Kings Dominion did not fail us.

Christian, our 5 year old son, rode his first roller coaster, and his second, and his third...there was the Sponge Bob 3D movie and there were all kinds of roundabouts. The fun the three of us had shows that this was money well spent from out tight budget, and we look forward to bringing the girls along too.

Kings Dominion...what a place, where fun is the rule and nobody is sad. Except for the little boy who got unexpectedly soaked on the log ride and began to cry, or the lady who forgot where she parked her car and wandered around the parking lot for the best part of an hour, or any of us who paid the exorbitant prices of concessions...and that's without even mentioning the lines that will surely come on a busier day.

The truth is, there is a Kings Dominion with no down side. If we truly live as though God has dominion over us, nothing will ever get us down. The promise of life eternal is there for any believer, but we must remember that we don't have to wait until we die to receive it. We can live in Christ here on earth, enjoying the benefits of His Dominion even now. Take it from me, because I live it every day.
