Best Question I have being asked in a long time
I was speaking at Live camp in the weekend, and got asked a question that I thought captured something incredibly beautiful. It was having a chat to a young guy called Thomas on Saturday afternoon, and he asked me "What songs make you dance?" It floored me. I get so caught up with silly thoughts and questions that really dont matter that much, and yet this question nails it... "What songs make you dance, what brings you joy, what brings a smile to your face, what stokes you out?" You could ask that in any culture, to any age, and it would get a response. And so this young kid, who because of his mental condition, age and social skills is probably at the bottom of the rung for many, becomes the catalyst for a great kingdom moment by asking the wonderful question, "What songs make you dance?" So, post a comment letting me know what songs make you dance... for me, depressingly or wonderfully its anything by Bon Jovi, Queen, Supergroove, the B52s, shesh, what an old fart...

Few songs can coerce me to dance in public, but just about anything that has a good beat or inspirational lyrics can get my feet moving in private. ;-)

Concord Dawn (feat. Tiki) "Never Give Up On Love"...it's impossible to listen to that song and not get up and dance around...your living room, the footpath.
