Where the Hell is Matt?



What if our most successful means of communication is the child like spirit that lives inside us?

The web is full of so many opinions, facts, and comments, just like our world. There are so many ways to try to deal with the struggles and various thoughts we see playing out each day in our world. For every action, there are various opposing actions and nothing seems to be the answer. Our world continues to struggle driven by greed and self promotion of the individualistic needs of its people and centuries upon centuries have changed nothing.

Now, I am not much for the Doomsday theories. I have a positive attitude in most situations. I just wonder. How long will we look within ourselves for the answer to our existence? How long will we consider our own selfish needs over the importance of others?

There has to be a way, a way that removes the pain of the struggle. A way that let’s us feel the freedom of not having to appease ourselves all the time. A new way that cuts through the disease that permeates our hearts and leads us to the truth of our own humanity. Restoring us to the freedom we so long for, that exists only in the deep recesses of our souls. Is it possible? I believe so.

A long time ago it was written, “and a child shall lead them…”

"Dancing" speaks of:
...Life. Life is a dance with the triune God.
...Freedom and joy. Laying down our cares, worries, and burdens, living and celebrating each moment.
...Adventure. Not knowing where you will be tomorrow, but celebrating each "today."
...Commonality. There are many different cultures, dress, and dances. It's not how we dance, but that we dance that matters. That we are willing and able to let go and dance.
...Community. There is joy and celebration in dancing solo, but greater joy and impact is found when we share our dance with others.
Share your dance.
