One of the funniest movies I've seen recently is Napoleon Dynamite, and I love it because of its sentimental value for me, having been in high school in the early 80's in a small Utah town. My husband's grandparents lived in Preston, Idaho, where the movie is set, and we visited there once in a while. One of the songs keeps going through my head, and it reminds me of a time when I heard about the death of a prominent church leader, because this song played on the radio right afterward. The words are kind of interesting to me.
Forever Young
Let's dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we're getting in tune
The music's played by the mad men
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever? Forever young
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?

Krista, Forever Young is one of my favorite songs! It reminds me of so much. I read your blogs and can't help but feel inspired by you. Your life is reminding me of how fragile my life is too. All of our lives. What truly matters is not how much time we have, but what we do with that time. You are using your time wisely. What a great example to all of us, but especially for your kids! Thank you. Thank you for your faith. Thank you for sharing that faith. Thank you for sharing the downs and the ups. Thank you for being you. You are awesome!
