Recording Stories that are Already Being Told

So, if I haven't already told you I will let you know now.... I am a HUGE Once Upon a Time fan! This is the only TV show, thus far, that I have watched every week since the first week that it has come on. The writers are fantastic and you never know what they are going to do next! It takes me DAYS sometime for me to get over the shocks and twists that they do. However, they do have some really great lessons in there.

If anyone is even really reading this blog I will do a courtesy and give out no spoilers. So, I will be a vague as I can. However, if you have NOT scene Season 4 episode 17 that premiered on Sunday March 29th, you may not want to read the rest of it. I am being vague but even if I am I might give something away.

There was a lot of crazy stuff that happened tonight on the show, however, the part that touched me the most was when Gus was talking about the Author. The Author is who people seems to be, as we all know it's Once Upon a Time NO ONE is who they seem to be! Yet, we find that the Author records the stories as they are happening, not writing them as he goes. They even give a nod to Walt Disney being an Author, I won't give all that away August put it in a much more elegant way! August says that as the Author it was their job to Record their stories, not change them.

Because I thought that was so wonderfully put I started thinking... what if Once Upon a Time was real? What if Walt Disney was an author set out to record stories? How could that be cause he wrote some of the greatest ones!

Then I realized that just because you are the author doesn't mean you don't have a story of your own.

See if Disney were really an author, and set out to record the stories are they are currently happening, doesn't mean he doesn't play a part in the story.

Walt Disney has played many parts in my story, and still does to this day. I am only 23 but I know he will be playing parts of my story, and my future family's story, for years to come. I mean I have never been to Disney World so that will be a future story to tell. I mean the Disney Empire is one giant recording of not only Walt Disney's life on us, but the life we in turn have given him. He wanted a place where families could come and enjoy the time together without the stresses of everyday life, some place magical. We gave him the inspiration and he gave us the outlet.

See even though he would have been an author, doesn't mean that his whole life is at a stand still. He still would have been making movies, not hiding in the shadows. He would have made, or again if it were real, making movies all the while recording stories as they happened. Which means that Disney did change the stories of people but not interfering with them. If he weren't the author my story would still include Disney and his movies.

I guess this touched me so much because I like being an author myself. No I don't make up movies, scripts, heck I know that by me typing this stuff I am making a huge amount of errors. My way of recording is pictures, and home made movies.

The wall of my room help to write my story, you can walk in an instantly know where my loyalties lie in my passions, and in the people I love. I know I am living in a time in which recording history is not limited to writing it down. It's in the music I play, the pictures I take, the videos I shoot. It may not be the stories that will be in history books but it's the stories I will pass down to the next generation of my family because without my stories they wouldn't even be possible.

One of the coolest things I get to do on a weekly basis is be the Volunteer Baptism Class Coordinator at my church. My role is to get kids signed up to go to this counseling for baptism and then if they are ready get them signed up to be baptized. The coolest part is that milestone is something I choose to be a part in! Weather or not I am there makes no difference if they get it done or not, but I choose to be there and it's one of the smallest times you see your actions in a person's life pays off!

I guess that is what is really cool about life. Sometimes we are the ones living life, but in even more precious times we are the Authors recording the stories that are being told everyday.
