Universal Studios!! - Coming Home

For many of you, you probably didn't know that way back in 2001 I used to work at Universal Studios as an Admissions Host. As a 18 year old, I got saved out in California, and was looking for a job. I heard that Universal was hiring so I figured I would go down and put in an application, well to my surprise they hired me on the spot.

Every day for about 6 months I would drive my little red Dodge Neon down Lankershim Blvd into Universal City from North Hollywood.

Then I would, park my car in the Frankenstine Parking garage, make the small walk, to the park.

From there I would go into the administration building and stand in line and get my garment bag that had my newly dry-cleaned uniform for the day.

Go to the locker room and put it on, go down stairs, enter my time card code and off I went to check in with my lead (supervisor). 

From there I would be positioned either at the front gate, or at the Annual Pass both, or at the Stroller Rental area.

I really enjoyed this job, it was so much fun to help people have a fun time. I made sure to go out of my way to make the guest feel like royalty.

So since we were in Lancaster and we were on our way to Phoenix, we decided to stop at Universal Studios. It was so much fun to go back and see the place I had worked all those years ago. It was fun to see what was the same and what had changed. It was great to be able to show Samantha around.

One of the most exciting things to do at Universal Studios is ride the Tram. This takes you into the "Backlot" where they film movies and TV shows. Now I'm not really a TV watcher, (most TV is so wicked) but I do find it interesting to see how things are made. This 45 minute tour really shows you behind the scenes of how movies are made.


I would place this warning before you all, it is so easy to let Satan into your home through the TV and Internet. One wrong click, of either a mouse or a remote can shatter you or your families innocence or create a lasting addiction.


Dont be deceived, Satan is crafty and he can and will force himself into your home. 

Going on rides with Samantha is so much fun. She gets scared very easy! Which of course makes rides so much more fun!
P.S. It's ok to scream...it makes fun

WELCOME TO JURASSIC PARK!

While we were there, we were asked to take a marketing survey to for some new trash bags. All we had to do was answer a few questions about the smell of a few samples.
In exchange we each received $5.00 in Universal Cash, which could be used anywhere in the park.

I'm grateful to have a faithful, God honoring wife! It was a blessing to me that we could go to a theme park and not be caught up in the carnality of it. I am so blessed.

Below, are some videos, from the Tram ride.
