And the beat goes on ...

If you are not from my generation or older, you probably don't know this famed Sonny and Cher song title. Poor you. The lyrics are so deep and life changing: "And the beat goes on, and the beat goes on (and then something, something and then back to) and the beat goes on." Ok, so I don't know all the words. I'm not sure if there are many words, but I remember the main theme: "THE BEAT GOES ON."

So this week my family in Tennesse said their final goodbyes to my Uncle Johnny and Libby started back to school. Both events seem significant on their own; side by side they represent the flow of life.

This week, having a week of school under her belt, Libby will remember that the beat goes on ... and so will my dear Aunt Annie.

Libby is repeating the first grade. Last year was a tough year. We wouldn't repeat the experience, but we are grateful for what we and she learned as we walked through it.

Her experience this year is light years different from last years. She can't wait to get to school. She feels confident. She is operating in her full identity and not traped in fear and uncertainty. Last year we lived in a state of endurance. This year we are experiencing ease.

I could go on and on ... but them I would begin to bore you. Let's just say we are so thankful that God is faithful and we are in a new season!

On a totally random note, I just watched the movie "Julie & Julia". Has anyone seen it? I really liked it on so many levels!!! In fact, I'm so inspired by the blog storyline I want to get some input from you, the reader. Let me know what you'd like to see, what you like/don't like about my blog, etc ... I'm just curious to see who's out there. Go on, make a comment. Make my day ... and perhaps inspire me to write a book! You could be the guest star of a movie!
