Maxie Dunnam, in his book
Dancing at my Funeral, has these celebratory words about the Christian hope:
"We can't squint at such a promise - Eyes open!
We can't shuffle along this path, somersaults are in order!
This is no quiet matter for chamber conversation: Bring on the megaphone for shouting.
The words are bouncy: free, bold, flying high, tingling, enveloping, rippling, blowing, laughing, hoping.
This life is not a dream for dying men but resurrection for dead men now.
A leap and a laugh. A spin and a swirl. A celebration and a song.
Not a dance for dying men, a dance for living ones."
Prayer: "Loving God, help me to be all you would have me to be, in Jesus' name. Amen."
