| Yes, like the "almighty" movies (Bruce, Evan,) BE THE MIRACLE. Do the dance! |

| I do like the new commandment (theu shalt dance), but there is another quote I like better from that movie: "God: Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?" Yep, take the opportunity right in front of ya! I try to. |
