wow what a Sabbath. it was good. tiring at times but over all good. we went to the southern glow party. it was interesting. My favorite line of the night was -"No dancing, if you must dance there are hula hoops." - LOL such a typical Adventist response to possible sin I suppose. Its an interesting culture that i live in. Some things are "okay" if done in such and such way but absolutely sinful if done in X Y Z fashion. honestly it just seem like a bunch of junk to me. I wonder who it was that decided that hula hooping was a good option for those people who are rythmatically inclined as they blasted techno music that started out fine but slowly progressed in to a heavier beat as the evening wore on. I don't know maybe its just my out dated mind. But why play dancing music, and lower the lights/add dancing lights, and then say NO dancing? personally at various times in my past i have found appropriate times to dance - in my room alone with no one around as a perfect example - and its a wayyy different dancing than the cultural norm of today. But what really escapes me why people decided that they can get as close to a worldly aspect of culture and yet sanction it to make it Adventist approved. (and after about an hour and a half and with the gradual degrade of music people were dancing all over anyways.) Well it certainly gave me plenty to think about, in other news i tried the hula hoop and enjoyed that (happy memories of childhood achievements, and some serious respect for anyone who can do it well.), introduced a friend to a bouncy castle (she had NEVER been in one - sad!) so we enjoyed that as well..
Dancing is like dreaming with your feet! ~Constanze
