You Can't Stop the Beat

I was thinking that I was tired. But not really tired. Then, it hit me! I was beat. Tired to me means that you are worn out in more ways than just being sleepy. Usually, it seems like it's kind of a bad connotation to it. However, beat implies that it's a good sleepy tired.

Today was a good Sunday. I had church, youth, and then I just hung out with a couple. It was just nice. I felt like everyone was on topic tonight. Everyone was participating...even when times were rough. I was really impressed with some of their answers. It allowed the lessons to go in different directions then what were intended. It was just a nice lesson.

Then, after, I got to hang out with a couple of the older youth. They were just a hoot. I love getting to go to Starbuck's (shout out to Thomas...we went to "his" store). It's just neat to get to have discussions that are more in depth and more about their life. It was neat. We talked about movies, t.v. shows, and most importantl, God. It was just casual conversations. Then, we got goofy and took lots of random pics.

It's just is a wonderful day when you can further those relationships around you. And so, at the end of a long day, I have no problem saying, "I'm beat."

From Hairspray lyrics, "'Cause you can't stop the motion of the ocean or the sun in the sky You can wonder, if you wanna, but I'll never ask why And if you try and hold me down I'm gonna spit in your eye and say That you can't stop the beat!"

At the end of a day, you're eventually going to be tired. It'll be sleepy time. So, I would rather enjoy the day and be beat. After all, sometimes, you just can't stop the beat.
