A Mickey Mouse Trip

Jeremy wore inch-thick, coke-bottle glasses

and a perfect bowl haircut.

He knew the answers to everything

and was the teacher's pet.

This really ticked everybody off.

One day, after an uncharacteristic absence from school,

Jeremy showed up in class with a big grin on his face,

wearing a goofy-looking Mickey Mouse hat.

The teacher asked Jeremy where he got the hat.

"I went to Disneyland yesterday!" he said excitedly.

"Oh really," said the teacher.

"Why don't you tell us about your trip to Disneyland."

"Okay!

Well, I got to Disneyland

and the first thing I saw

was the parking lot," Jeremy said.

"That parking lot must hold about a million cars!

I got on a tram that carried me around the parking lot

until I got to the place where you buy the tickets.

So I got off and stood in line.

I bought a ticket and I also bought this cool hat!"

"And then what did you do?" asked the teacher.

"Well, I got back on the tram

and rode around the parking lot some more," said Jeremy.

"That was really fun!

I rode that tram all day!"

"All day?" asked the teacher.

"Did you go through the turnstiles

and under the bridge to Main Street U.S.A.,

Adventureland,

Fantasyland,

Tomorrowland,

and the rest of the park?"

Jeremy thought for a moment and said,

"No. Was I supposed to?"

Makes you wonder what they teach

kids in grade school these days.

Jeremy never experienced the fun of Disneyland

because he never went beyond the ticket booth.

He had his ticket in his hand and could have gone in any time. Instead, he settled for a ride around the parking lot,

watching happy people come out of Disneyland

with smiles on their faces.

But he never found out what they were smiling about.

Have you "bought a ticket to heaven"

by inviting Christ into your life?

Have you gotten past the ticket booth?

Or are you still riding around the parking lot,

feeling like you may be missing out on all that Christ has for you? We hear other Christians talk about

the joy they experience as a follower of Jesus,

but sometimes we are clueless.

Don't settle for merely watching

other Christians experience their walk with God.

Experience it for yourself.
