Gerald, Ritchie is not the only one from MS! We do read in MS.

To be honest, if I only had 1 day in orlando with the kids, it would be a very difficult decision between Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. My kids really liked Animal Kingdom during our last 2 trips to WDW.

Current order of enjoyment of WDW in florida
1. Magic Kingdom
1a. Animal Kingdom
3. MGM Studious (or whatever the new name is)
4. Epcot

God Bless You
Pastor Daryl

Oh, I just did and you know....I thought the "he disagrees with me he must be bitter with God" was beyond even your massive ego but, golly, you pulled it off without a hitch didnt you???

You even laugh at peoples calamity. You show your dark heart well.

Okay, I have stayed out of yet another one.......for the same fear......however, I think it is time to speak to this a little.

The idea that we are somehow concerned about a "hat" as a symbolism of something evil, but yet will go to "Magic Kingdom" is a little bit skewed.

If you have a problem with any part of Disney, you should boycott the entire thing. I am a little weary of Christians picking and choosing the evil I will accept and the evil I can't handle.

Just be real and say to your kids.....all magic is "smoke and mirrors". It is just a trick...there is no reality to it.

The only tool of the devil is deciet. Period. He has no power other than that. He is a liar and the father of lies. He possesses no other or greater power.

We Christians still think we have to have some mysticism in our daily diet of spirituality. Actually we do not. We just need to stand on the word of God and let the rest fall where it may.

I am not afraid of a "hat" or a "cat in a hat" or a rat that runs aways with a hat. And being "educated" I can teach my grandchildren what is real and what is fiction. Use that word ..........Fiction! Most of the christian writings of our day are that..........Fiction. All the "Left Behind" series was just that.

So, get over it already and teach your children what is real and what is not and don't worry about a stupid symbol.......or just boycott it altogether.........

just my .02

Dr. Ron,

You know that I have previously and currently respect your ministry greatly, but do you truly believe your above statement?

The devil desires for God's people to believe that he has no power. I actually preached that at one time. The truth is that the devil does have power, but all powers given are from God. The devil's power is completely subject to God. Remember when the serpent of Moses swallowed the serpents of Pharoah's magicians?

If your statement was "tongue in cheek", please forgive my ignorance.

Blessings,

PA,

Ido believe my statement in so far as , the devil is neither omnipotent nor omnicient. He can not be everywhere and is not all knowing. That is why he must depend on his demonic forces to work for him.

He can only do what we allow him to do in our lives. He has no power over the one who is covered by the blood of Christ.

That is why I do not fear his lies. I live my life in worship to God not in fear of the devil. When he comes with temptation, I depend on God and His word to give me the answers to those. If I fail, it is not because the "devil made me do it"....it is because I failed to use the tools and weapons of our warfare.

There fore I don't see the problem in taking my grands to DW to see Mickey even though he does magic......he talks.....for pete's sake.

Everyone knows a mouse can't talk...........hey wait....maybe it's the demons talking through him.....lol........and yes that is tounge in cheek.

Just relax pal.....and let the word guide you..... I know my adversary......

I agree with your corrected wording. :wink:
