Voltaire said..."Let us read and let us dance...two amusements that will never do any harm to the world."
Christian music has changed so much since I was a kid. It's now got a beat that invites you to dance. I think God loves to witness us praising His name, not only with Joyful words, but Joyful feet, too. The body moving in harmony as we celebrate His word.
Exodus 15:20 - Miriam led the women with timbrels and dancing.
II Samuel 6:14 - David danced with great abandon before God.
God's gotten a bad rap, totally undeserved. Our Father loves to see His children being Joyful.
I don't think it's possible to dance and feel sad at the same time.
I don't know why folks try to make God seem so stern all the time. Sure, He commands discipline, but you can be disciplined and have fun at the same time. Just no rampaging like a crazy bull.
Put on some Anne Davis with her encouraging lyrics or Connie Scott's infectious melody, both of heavenly quality.
And...may I have this dance?

Cosmic Kinship
The following is a discussion I began with The Best Religion Group @ Shelfari.com
Friends fill the sky of our lives with stars. For friends are made from stardust, more brilliant and more valuable than gold.
Beneath a dome of friendship, we glow with God's Universal Power and Love.
From love comes Peace; the ultimate goal for all of humanity. ( Or at least it should be.)
'''Friendship promotes peace,"' as a dear friend of mine said. How very true his words. It's a giant leap towards our desired goal.
We receive a great deal more than we give. By giving thanks for a little, we find a lot. And that brings about gratitude. It has been said that a person is defined by their attitude towards gratitude. Gratitude unlocks life's riches. It turns a stranger into a Friend. It makes sense of the past and illuminates the future.
We are all children of the King (God)...and that makes us all, either a Prince, or a Princess. Members of God's Royal Family.
In this week of our nation's Thanksgiving celebration, let's remember the gifts of Friendship we share around the world.
To all my Prince and Princess Friends, those made, and those yet to make,"Thank you for making my life brighter.
"This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine." Shine on cosmic kinship...
Happy Thanksgiving!
