PSALMS OF ASCENT: Waiting Psalm 130
This summer when my family and I were on vacation, we went to Legoland in San Diego. They had a new ride there, Ninjago ride that my son was really excited to go on. It was a 4-D type of ride where you're karate chopping things that are flying at you, and there's mist and smells..... It was pretty epic! We chose our time wisely as to when we wanted to get into line, because the line was long. It got shorter as the day went on and so around 6 o'clock, when most people with little kids had done the wise thing and left, we were still there. We got into line. There was about just five minutes of waiting out front and thought man, we have chosen wisely. We got through that part of the line and then went into this other room. There were ropes set up in the next room and there were about five lines back and forth through this room. The music started to get a little bit louder---that's when you know you're in trouble---they want to distract you. We got through that room and entered....ANOTHER room! Music got a little bit louder and we're waiting a little bit longer. We got through THAT room and entered ANOTHER room! Finally, we get to the front of the line. Somebody with what they call a FastPass....which means they spent a ton of money to buy this little device that allows them to cut in front of regular paying customers like us. They just flashed this FastPass and cut in front of us! I thought, "What in the world is going on? I've spent 45 minutes in this line now, in these rows, with the music getting louder and louder and somebody cuts right in front of me!!"
