What Makes You Dance?
 
What are the things in your life that you really enjoy and make you happy!

Here's mine (not in any particular order):

1. A powerful move of God
2. Playing the piano
3. Playing with grandchildren
4. Being with family
5. Playing golf
6. Selling a piano
7. Going on vacation
8. Being with friends
9. Going to Titans games
10. Going to church
11. Watching my children and grandchildren live for God

rgcraig 07-30-2007 09:50 AM

No certain order for me either:

The beach
Feeling close to God
Giving to my children
Staying in touch with friends
Taking a trip somewhere new
Someone looking in my eyes while we talk
Dressing up and being with someone I enjoy being with
Eating out with a group of fun people
A few things I can't mention

Nahum 07-30-2007 09:51 AM

1. Holy Unction
2. Good News
3. Sinner receiving Jesus
4. Autumn leaves all around, smell of bratwurst in the air, and high school football.
5. My wife's arms around me.
6. When I beat my twin 14 year olds in wiffle ball.

RevDWW 07-30-2007 11:26 AM

The Greatness of God.
The love of my family
A hard rain on a warm day [Which by the way happended yesterday. My wife called me from the kitchen to notice how hard it was rainging. I told her "Come on lets go out and soak up some rain....Man what a wonderful feel'n]
Just being alive..........







Should we dance in worship if we don't feel an unction?

RandyWayne 07-30-2007 11:27 AM

1) Finding out something you said to someone (thinking it was just bouncing off at the time) actually made a difference in their lives and thought patterns months and years later.

2) Finding out a relative was baptized a couple nights before (called the pastor and asked to be baptized that Tuesday night so no one else would know until after the fact).

3) Seeing a bunch of trailer park kids coming to church. Granted many don't stay simply because of the pure pressure of the environment they live in, but a handful have, and the ones I would have leasts suspected in the beginning!

4) I LOVE that drive home on that last day of work or school looking forward to a week or two off!

And I will DANCE when.....

A) We close on our new home.

B) When our moving caravan pulls out of our driveway to leave this Godforsaken state on our way to our new home in AZ (which he had purchased already.... see point A.)

C) When I hear New York, New York -start doing the foxtrot!

Surely you don't mean that about Wisconsin?????

RandyWayne 07-30-2007 11:33 AM

Ooooooohhhhh yes! Goodbye to the mosquitoes (and not the rock group as featured on Gilligan's Island) but the flying, biting kind. Goodbye to our large extended families and the politics involved in keeping everyone happy. Goodbye to the horrible cold (with very little snow) winters. And Goodbye to the property taxes! Jim Doyle, I barely knew ye.

Arizona is the place to be! Desert living is the life for me! Sand spreading out so far and wide! Take Jim Doyle, just give me that mountainside!

Praxeas 07-30-2007 11:51 AM

If a friend of mine were here he'd answer finally beating me in chess after like 100 losses....no lie...he got up and danced. Oh well. I guess I can't blame him. Im sure Dan Alicea gets up and dances everytime he erroneously thinks he beat me at some petty issue :tricycle

Pressing-On 07-30-2007 01:03 PM

1. Prayer, especially ladies prayer meetings.
2. When God shows you exactly what a verse is saying in the Bible.
3. Music - especially worship music.
4. Dreams from God.
5. When my husband and I go out to eat by ourselves or when we just sit and talk. Especially when he is serious, which doesn't happen very often.
6. Presents!
7. Company
8. Shopping and eating out alone. I don't have to hurry. :D
9. Places to hide the receipts. J/K!!!!! :killinme

Rhoni 07-30-2007 01:07 PM

Great music
Being in love

I just bought almost $400 worth of paint for $20. I said thank you Jesus and did a little jig.

I would have too! We bought some Sears Weatherbeater on clearance - semi-gloss outdoor paint for $2.95 a gallon. I know I danced on that.

How did you manage that, BTW?

I went to several paint shops, HD, Lowes, & Sears included, and almost bought the 5 gallons I need to finish the room I am working on. Something just held me back, I asked for their mis-tints and they were either non-existent or all colored dark maroon exterior.

Anyway, I made up my mind that at the last Sherwin Williams store I went to that if they didn't have mis-tints, I would swallow hard and just pay the $100 bucks for the 5 gallons. This particular store had just put 4-5 gallon containers in their mis-tints from an apartment complex that didn't pick it up. The colors were perfect, almost white. I bought them all for $1 a gallon and this paint was almost 100 bucks for 5 gallons with my discount.

The coast
Feeling close to the Lord
Giving to my kids
Staying in touch with buddies
Taking a trip somewhere different
Someone looking in my eyes while we converse
Dressing up and being with someone I enjoy being around
Eating out with a group of fun folks
A few things I can't say

Funky music makes me wanna dance too. I love beat and rhythm. It's hard for me to sit or stand still.

We are showing our age! My kids are horrified that I like some disco music. They do, however, appreciate some oldies rock like Three Dog Night, etc.

My sons have very eclectic taste in music. The 20 year old loves Michael Buble (sp?) and Vince Gill but also likes some rap music - arghhhh!!!!

Ferd 07-30-2007 01:52 PM

A perfectly smoked brisket.

Oh, well, that's disappointing, for me. I can't use a mis-tint. I am doing my house in Sea Kale in the Weatherbeater - Semi-gloss. They had a sale over Memorial Weekend, but didn't have enough to finish the house and no store nearby had any. Don't know what's going on with that. Now my husband is tied up on a job and we are at a stopping point until October.

We might do the Behr deal at Lowes. Still trying to decide. I want to use Sherwin Williams- Duration, but he doesn't. :smack I think he's stuck on Pratt and Lambert, which is fine also.

Well "funky" isn't isolated to disco you know. My taste in music is very eclectic. But certain styles, rhythms and beat gets me every time.

I have everything from classical to R&B to pop to Buble' (that style) Sarah MacLachlan (celtic pop & folk, etc), John Denver, Tamas Wells, Nalick, Furtado, Macie Gray, a lot of 70s/80s music, Sarah Brightman, etc. etc. -- most all that is downloaded on my harddrive) -- all the way to IBC choir, Clint Brown, Hillsong, and on and on.

Quando Quando Quando by Buble'/Furtado is wonderful. Makes me want to dance. :)

I have 3 sisters and no brothers. Dad swears I was NOT outnumbered. You really learn to move in a house full of girls.

the thing you have to understand is my 2 older sisters were 8 and 6 years older than me and they decided they didnt want a wimp for a baby brother.

fun times!
