This weekend, we went to the Nisswa Stammen music festival. Boobear loves fiddles and banjos, dancing and costumes, so the festival was a great experience for her. After watching a lady in Scandinavian dress do several folk dances, Boobear went up to her quietly and said, "Dance with me?"
I think God issues us that invitation every day. Will you dance with me, God asks, on days when your steps are light and airy? Will you dance with me, God asks, when the music is slow and peaceful? Will you dance with me, God wonders, when it's hard to be in step with one another? Will you dance with me, God hopes, even when the music seems to be full of wrong notes or feels offkey? Will you dance with me, God asks, feeling my love and joy for you?
There is a wonderful camp song that expresses these sentiments too, by Greg Evans:
"This is holy time. We're gathered together to worship you, to love one another. And as we pray, and as we sing, and as we dance, and as we dream, Oh, Lord, I beg of you just this one thing...... Won't you dance with me, throughout the heavens and below the sea, and up on the mountaintop, flow with the breeze, come carry me. Lord, won't you dance with me."

Do you know where to find this song. I keep getting asked about it in a case of mistaken identity. I am Greg Evans, a Christian singer/guitarist/ songwriter...but I'm not the one that wrote 'Dance With Me'.
Hi! My husband is Greg Evans, the one who wrote this song! We are in Northport,AL.
