so last night a bunch of us went to a concert – a guy from the 50s and 60s, his name is Paul Anka… it was a good show, as one friend put it, “it was nice to be entertained…”
the last two chapels i have tried to begin to convey to the kids what worship is, what is results in… one of the illustrations i gave was of people at a football game or people at a concert who were cheering madly for thier team or their favorite band…
well, last night i saw this happening… while enjoying the show, it became really clear that some present were enjoying the show a lot more than some of the rest of us… during one song, Mr. Anka came down to the floor level and was dancing with a lady as he sang when another lady RAN down to the front, unashamed, to get a chance to dance… she waited while they danced, and he sang, and he was gracious enough to give her a kiss… she was, in a sense, worshipping… interesting to think of how unconcerned she was about appearance… she only wanted his attention and recognition… she recognized him and begged for attention… she got the attention…
don’t misunderstand… i know i am messed up too, i worship stuff i shouldn’t i’m no better, i just haven’t seen such a good example since UVa beat FSU for the second time…
