What is real?

Katy has been trying to sort out "real" stories from "pretend" ones lately, from Super Why on TV to Pilgrim's Progress to Flat Stanley and stories about kings and princesses. She will often ask us if something we are reading or watching on TV or a movie is "real." Today at lunch we were talking about these things, and she turned to me and asked, "Are we in a story?"

I just thought it was a cool question. I told her that, yes, we are in a story, just the most real one of all, and, even though we know the end in one respect, we are still having to find out how it goes each day. Pretty cool to think about, though, being in a story. We are in God's story, and He is the Author and Finisher of our faith. It was just a good reminder to me that it is so not about me, but it is all about the REAL story and the Author of that story!
