Here I am to Slow Dance:

Ladies and Gentlemen, today I bring you the ultimate in bad timing and hilarity. Today in Personal Evangelism class, Mike is showing us this video from a youth rally that the XD group held at the Sussex Middle School. During the time we were watching Mike fast forward from scene to scene, we caught a glimpse of the worship time, message, and dramas. Afterward, Mike is telling us the story of the rally and the trials of working with middle schoolers. What was said next caught me by surprise:

"At every middle school rally, we try to bring everything down in the worship time with a slow song. I noticed while we were playing the song 'Here I am to Worship' that out in the crowd there were kids worshiping and others were talking to their friends. But out in the middle, I noticed that in the chaos of a middle school rally, there was a guy and girl slow dancing!"

Slow dancing?! Who slow dances at a rally? More over... middle school kids slow dancing? I had all I could do to contain my laughter. I have this image of a middle school guy.... thinking to himself... "If only that I might play a slow song... that I might take that girl in my arms... and slow dance with her as if the night would never end!" and the girl thinking ... "he's gorgeous and I?m bored.... my boyfriend isn't here..... I hope he'll dance with me." And, oh sweet fate, they play they slow song and they are attracted like flies on crap.... they are brought together like spaghetti and meatballs... like pie and ice cream.... like lamb and tuna...

"So here I am to slow dance, here I am to sway around, here I am to dance with you for now...."
