Jeff St just enjoyed our first ever Derby Dance. Having enjoyed the music and dancing at several recent weddings, our own Mike Jupin took it upon himself to organize a night of the stuff. A good time was had by most...

If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution.

~Emma Goldman

It's more like a full body dry heave set to music.

~George Costanza on Elaine's dancing on "Seinfeld"

Any problem in the world can be solved by dancing.

~James Brown

Thanks to the Methodists over at locusts and honey, I found a link to a story that I think we Jeff Streeters can appreciate and relate to.

The fella over at jockeystreet who identifies himself as a "Proselytizing vegan, borderline pacificist, communist sympathizer, hardcore loving, thirty something feminist male" (and you gotta love him for that) has a great story about tea box prophecies and our homeless friends.

When someone steals another's clothes, we call them a thief. Should we not give the same name to one who could clothe the naked and does not? The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry; the coat unused in your closet belongs to the one who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the one who has no shoes; the money which you hoard up belongs to the poor.

I think of the garden after the rain;
And hope to my heart comes singing,
"At morn the cherry-blooms will be white,
And the Easter bells be ringing!"

I am the Resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, even if they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.
