Re: Shouts
A sense of humor is a great thing to have--especially in church. I'm glad I was raised in a home where spirituality was met with a large measure of pragmatism. My Dad said (over and over), "Some people are so heavenly minded, they're no earthly good." We shouldn't be so serious about every little thing that happens in church.
Not everything is spiritual and not everything is serious. How people choose to dance is not that serious of a topic. Whether they dance isn't that serious of a topic. Making fun of them because they dance--that would be an entirely different thing.
