In the Cupid Shuffle...

I have been participating in a pre-enrollment program at Duke Divinity School called BriDDDge.  The past couple of days have been very difficult days personally for me (just a lot of stuff on the "mind grapes"), and on our schedule tonight was a dance with a ministry called "Reality Ministries".  Reality Ministries is a local organization in Durham that works with groups of people that society has marginalized.  One of those groups is the mentally handicapped.  I had no interest in being extroverted and dancing (especially for ministry), but it was a wonderful time.  For the first time in a while, I was able to let my hair down, and just have fun and be goofy and remember the me that I actually really like.  And it was extremely life-giving to spend time with a group of people who love life and love people and are so willing to share that love.  It was an incredible blessing that was so desperately needed.
