It’s sort’a shame that the mom punked her kid videotaping him with this Video You can use with young people.
In the movie Footloose (old school Kevin Bacon version) the character Ren addresses the town council:
“From the oldest of times, people danced for a number of reasons. They danced in prayer… or so that their crops would be plentiful… or so their hunt would be good. And they danced to stay physically fit… and show their community spirit. And they danced to celebrate." And that is the dancing we’re talking about. Aren’t we told in Psalm 149 "Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song. Let them praise His name in the dance"? And it was King David – King David, who we read about in Samuel – and what did David do? What did David do? [paging frantically through Bible] What *did* David do? [audience laughs] "David danced before the Lord with all his might… leaping and dancing before the Lord." [smacks table in front of Reverend Moore] *Leaping* and *dancing*. stands up straight] Ecclesiastes assures us… that there is a time for every purpose under heaven. A time to laugh… and a time to weep. A time to mourn… and there is a time to dance. And there was a time for this law, but not anymore. See, this is our time to dance. It is our way of celebrating life. It’s the way it was in the beginning. It’s the way it’s always been. It’s the way it should be now.
It’s winter, it’s dark, it’s exam time for many…. just remember to dance!
