Dance with Me

There is something about dancing.  It is intimate and requires a trust.  I had heard years ago from a dance instructor that when single, divorced women come to take ballroom dancing lessons that it is usually very hard for them to trust the male partner they are matched up with.  She had witnessed a lot of tears and sadness as these women danced and learned to trust again.  I found that fact fascinating and as I have thought about it since I have heard it I see how it makes so much sense.  In dancing you are in each other's space and we Americans have a pretty wide circumference to our personal space.  It's about 3 feet all around.  Dancing requires you to get within inches of each other.  That nearness does require a level of trust, comfort, and intimacy. 

God invites us, daily, to dance with him.  He wants to get close, he wants us to trust him, he wants to go throughout each day in sync.  When we dance with him we are communicating that we trust him and he is communicating that we are worthy of being near to.  Some of us don't believe we are worthy of being close to and God wants each of to know that our worth is priceless because of him. 

So he asks, daily, will you dance with me?  The true lover of your soul. 

Dance with Me

The Feast of Firstfruits & Easter Go for Broke Day If it scares you this is the day to go for it no matter what.

Because shoes help protect from bacteria in the dirt, rusty nails, dirty needles and shoes enable feet to withstand the long distances most children in developing countries need to walk to get to school. Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by ...

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here .  Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
