Aisle Running and Dancing a Virtue to be Taught?

[scotty]

I agree with Dagwood. It is not something that should be taught or even encouraged. It will happen naturally if it is to happen at all. We have "runners" in our church as well as "dancers". It is not something that one person does and the rest follow suit. Its almost like ones spiritual personality for lack of a better term. For some its just their style of worship. When we have a great move of God while the praise team is singing then there is a good chance Bro Jason is going to run, Sis Jessica will fall to her knees, face to the floor, crying, Sis Makalia will be dancing in place in tears, etc etc. Nobody really "copies" anyone and there is not an emotional wave that rolls through the church and everyone follows suit.

And most of all, its not an every service, every alter call, every move of God, happening.

Reminds me of an old Clint Black song:
It's holding tight, It's lettin go
It's flying high and laying low
It lets your strongest feelings show
And your weakness too

It's a little and a lot to ask
An endless and a welcome task
Love isn't something that we have
It's something that we do

What I love to see most of and seem to be blessed by, is when someone or a group of people drop to their knees because the presence of God is so strong.

And, the song you mentioned is one of my favorites by Clint. Thanks for reminding me of it. There's a lot of truth to it on so many levels...
