I will never drive on hills without thinking of my son...

My oldest, 6 year old Daniel, who experienced his first rollercoaster ride a few weeks ago at Dollywood, told me how he liked the "belly-ment" when I was driving over a unpaved, hilly, dirt road this evening to our small group meeting. He was speaking of how riding fast with sudden up and down changes of direction- either on a rollercoaster or up and down hills in a car- sometimes makes your stomach lurch. You knowwhat, I like the "belly-ment" too!

How it gets harder to be entertained the older we get...

From British journalist and brilliant writer G.K. Chesterton:

“When we are very young children we do not need fairy tales: we only need tales. Mere life is interesting enough. A child of seven is excited by being told that Tommy opened the door and saw a dragon. But a child of three is excited by being told that Tommy opened a door.”

From page 47 of his book Orthodoxy.
