The music is already playing as you enter the room and many people are dancing. At first glance, it seems they are not all hearing the same song. It appears more like a crowed pool hall than a ballroom dance. However, on closer inspection, the music is obvious and the movements are precise. You see a game of skip-bo at a table with partners laughing away.

Looking around you ask, “Is that eight ball or Mozart?” Then all of a sudden, you hear a loud dramatic moment and see a dancer with a kind calming word usher in peace. As the dance continues you see other dancers arrive who have come just for this performance. They come well rehearsed and confident of their own ability. Even more so, confident in the chorographer, and his ability assure them.

Each enters into a conversation, a game of pool, or a card game and dance the night away. What at first glance seemed to be a crowded pool hall, is now obviously a beautiful ballroom dance. I hope you see this example as the pursuit of God on everyone involved. I once believed evangelism was to tell others what they needed to think, do and change. This was my purpose I thought. I had what they needed and if they wanted it, well they needed to listen to me.

Wow! If I would have just learned how to dance in Jr. High. Not that I now think I have it all figured out, but it is more that I am learning to think more and judge less. I am also learning that dancing is not competitive, but it is a place where everyone in the dance is learning from each other. I find I am the one seeing God doing things that I did not know God did. And it amazes me every time. You do not have to set up some big production to join in on the dance for the music is everywhere. As a matter of fact stop for a moment and listen, you will hear it. By the way, why are you not dancing?
